Video tour of our new lovely outdoor space at CCMI, where the children are free to explore year round. The trees provide wonderful prompts for year round nature lessons. The tables provide a place to eat outside, or move our lessons outdoors when weather permits. We will be cleaning the play structure and adding traction strips to ensure safety during the rainy months.
NEW LOCATION
Pixie Hill will be relocating to 4545 Island Crest Way in the lower level of the Congregational Church of Mercer Island in July of 2026. Less than a mile from our current home, this new location ensures our beloved community will continue its mission for years to come.
The partnership with CCMI has been marked by warmth and generosity. Pixie Hill is deeply grateful to the church community for welcoming the school and supporting its continued presence on the Island. Pixie Hill will continue to operate as a secular, nonprofit preschool grounded in play-based learning — a philosophy that has supported Mercer Island children for nearly 70 years.
All current teachers and enrolled families are making the transition together, preserving the sense of community that has defined Pixie Hill for generations.
The new campus will have:
Newly refinished classrooms
Exciting opportunities for outdoor learning
Expanded play areas will give children more room to explore
An outdoor amphitheater will provide a unique setting for storytelling, music, and group activities in nature
All of these experiences align beautifully with Pixie Hill’s hands-on approach to early education.
The doors will open with summer camp this year, with the first opportunity to view the new space at Pixie Hill’s Spring Fundraiser on May 28th.

Indoor Space
The indoor space will be professionally refinished before we move in this June. We'll bring our current materials and supplement with new furniture where needed. The new space also features a cozy circle time room, our main classroom, and a large room for gross motor and center-based free play. The images shown are AI-generated renderings — the finished space, filled with our materials and the warmth of our community, will be even better.

We are proud to share our current community of enrolled families and teachers will be making this move together to ensure the future success of Pixie Hill for many decades to come.
The people create the magic.
