Enrollment
The Marion Forsman-Boushie Early Learning Center interweaves Suquamish cultural practices with standard learning programs. Students participate in Suquamish cultural events and workshops, learn about Suquamish traditions and take Lushootseed language courses throughout the school year. Families with disabled children, Suquamish Tribal Members, Native American children and low income families living in the service area are encouraged to apply.
Designed to provide comprehensive early childhood education to better prepare children for kindergarten, Head Start classrooms serve children ages 3-5 years old. In addition to early childhood curriculum, the program includes health and nutrition components, and opportunities for parental involvement.
Based upon the same guidelines as the Head Start program, Early Head Start promotes healthy family functioning by enhancing the development of infants and toddlers. The Early Head Start program services expecting mothers, infants and toddlers up to 3 years old. The program includes comprehensive health, nutrition, education and socialization components for children and parental tools that support healthy families.
