PARENT HANDBOOK
TUITION

Lil’ People’s World, located in Bellevue, has been committed to the highest form of Early Childhood Education since 1996. Nestled within the Lake Hills community and a neighbor to the Woodridge, Wilburton, and the West Lake Sammamish area, our center is a premier provider for all forms of childcare. We service all ages from infants through preschool and school age.

Our Bellevue Daycare

Our preschool curriculum is always evolving to deliver first-class early childhood education techniques, including the nationally recognized Creative Curriculum teaching strategy. Through music, art, and various fun-filled child-centered activities, Lil’ People’s World Bellevue is not just a daycare and preschool — it’s your child’s home away from home. 

Lil People’s World is not only a home away from home for our families, but for our teachers and staff as well. Built on the foundation of a family owned and operated center, we understand the importance of supporting our teachers by creating an inclusive, engaging, and supportive environment. Many teachers and supervisors have been with us for countless years, and even some for decades. Working with us is more than just a job, but rather an opportunity to join the LPW family.

Dual Language Learning
in Bellevue
English and Spanish

In addition to our creative-focused daycare and preschool learning objectives, Bellevue Lil’ People’s World has a dual-language learning program that offers a unique, preschool educational approach to nurture children’s education in both English and Spanish.

Embodying Bellevue’s diverse community, our dual-language program allows children to not only develop bilingual literacy skills but also immerse themselves in different cultures and traditions. This process is deeply impactful at the preschool level as it instills openmindedness and cultural equality at such a young age. Normalizing the diversity in language, culture, and backgrounds that make up our community and beyond helps set the stage for long-term inclusive expectations throughout a child’s life.

We strive to use this powerful model to address opportunity gaps, especially for Bellevue children and families whose first language is not English or who identify within historically marginalized populations. Join us to provide your child with a transformative preschool learning experience that embraces language, culture, and inclusivity representative of our multicultural Bellevue community.

Our Directors

BRIT HARRIS

Hi! I’m Brit! I love cats, singing songs and reading books. I started working in childcare in 2006 as a one-on-one for special needs children, mostly working within a head start program for Los Angeles County School Districts. I worked in this role while also teaching voice lessons until I moved to Seattle in 2014. I started my Northwest journey as a nanny, eventually finding my home at LPW in 2016. I graduated from North Seattle College with a degree in Early Childhood Education while working full-time with LPW.  As the Director of our Bellevue center, I am grateful to serve such a unique and diverse community.

NANI OCAMPO

Hola-Hello, my name is Agueda Ocampo, but you can call me Nani! I joined Lil People’s World in 2014, as center support, and eventually working my way up to Program Supervisor. During my elementary, middle and high school years, I volunteered as a tutor teaching children how to read in English and Spanish. I am currently in the process of finishing my Associates in Early Childhood Education. During my time as a Lead Teacher in our Dual Language Center, my Spanish proficiency blossomed, improving my ability to read, write, speak, and translate between my primary and secondary language. I have learned how to create activities that could be understood by any child who speaks and/or hears other languages. In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, reading, and artistic activities. Since joining Lil People’s World, my passion for education and learning has only grown. I am looking forward to my continued education, building stronger bonds, and having positive communication with the children, families and teachers.

Pre-School Curriculum

We use a teaching strategy called “Creative Curriculum,” when educating our Pre-Schoolers. Creative Curriculum primarily focuses on:

  • Meeting the child’s basic needs
  • Fostering social-emotional development
  • Developing relationships
  • Supporting cognition and brain development

Creative Curriculum for preschool is a comprehensive, science based, early childhood education curriculum that has demonstrated through studies to have a positive impact on the quality of the child’s classroom conduct, as well as improvements to cognitive and social-emotional development.

Creative Curriculum promotes positive physical, social, and cognitive outcomes for children through a variety of activities including fine motor, large motor, sensory, art, dramatic play, and science activities.

Toddler Curriculum

We use a teaching strategy called, “Creative Curriculum,” when educating our Toddlers. Creative Curriculum primarily focuses on:

  • Meeting the child’s basic needs
  • Fostering social-emotional development
  • Developing relationships
  • Supporting cognition and brain development

The goal of our toddler curriculum is to help children develop both their body and their minds in a safe and healthy place. These early, positive interactions with caring adults can give young children the confidence they need to explore their surroundings and take joy in their day-to-day discoveries.

Examples of their day-to-day activities can be found in the weekly sample schedule included below.

Infant Curriculum

Our daily infant curriculum is broken up into four categories of development:

  • Physical Experience
  • Listening and Talking Experience
  • Creative Experience
  • Learning From the World
01
Physical Experience
To assure our infants reach their appropriate physical development milestones, we employ our Physical Experiences curriculum. Physical Experiences utilizes motor activities that focus on both large and small muscle development.
02
Listening and Talking Experience
Before the age of one, infants are learning to understand the things that we are saying. For this reason, we provide a Listening and Talking Experience, which includes reading books, singing songs, and talking about the surroundings to aid in their communication development.
03
Creative Experience
Creative Experience allows infants to explore the many beauties that arts and crafts expose our minds to. The process of ‘art with infants’ enables our children to explore and experiment with different smells, textures, and artistic tools as a means of facilitating an early understanding of creative thought and design.
04
Learning From the World
Learning from the World introduces the infant to the world around us, allowing us to aid in their sensory development within a free, yet controlled environment. Examples of these activities can be found in the weekly sample schedule included below.
