Pixie Hill Preschool has been part of Mercer Island since 1958. Nearly seven decades of children have taken their first steps into school life here — learned to share, made their first real friends, and left ready for kindergarten and everything beyond it. That kind of continuity doesn't happen by accident. It happens because this community keeps showing up for it.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Pixie Hill is governed by a volunteer parent board and sustained by a combination of tuition, grants, and the generosity of families and community members who believe that excellent early childhood education should exist on this island. Your support — at any level — directly protects that.

What your support makes possible

Donations to Pixie Hill fund the things that make our program exceptional: enrichment partnerships that bring music, science, and art specialists into the classroom; field trips and nature experiences beyond our walls; the garden, the sandbox, and the outdoor spaces where so much of our best learning happens; and the ability to pay our teachers competitively so that the people who know your children stay.
