Enrollment

The Seattle Preschool Program (SPP) makes preschool FREE for low cost working families. For example, SWEL is free for a family of 4 making around $135,000* a year.  You must also live within Seattle City limits to qualify. We handle our own SPP enrollment apart from the online application for SPP, so if you're interested give us a call!
