Hot day? We've got you. ☀️
We're Praise and Promise Preschool, and all summer long we'll be sharing our favorite things to do with little ones in our corner of the PNW. First up: free splash pads.
☀️ Comeford Spray Park, Marysville — open 11am–7pm. Spray cannons, water jets, and rotating streams. Bonus: the park opens an hour early on Tuesdays for families of children with special recreational needs.
☀️ Haller Park Splash Pad, Arlington — open 11am–7pm. Pond-themed features, animal water sprayers, and a snack shack right there when someone inevitably gets hungry.
☀️ Willis Tucker Spray Pad, Snohomish — open 10am–7pm. Power volcano, splash palace, water cannons. Worth the drive. Bring sand toys for the sandbox next door.
Keep an eye out this summer as we share more favorites for preschool families in our area, from beach days and county fairs to library programs and beyond. Follow along so you don't miss anything!

🎪 What a show! Our Pre-K class brought down the house at this year's Circus Graduation! From clowns to acrobats to lion tamers, these incredible kids reminded us why we love what we do every single day. We are SO proud of each and every one of them.
Thinking about preschool for your little one? Come see what we're all about. 🌟

Bundled up and fully into it.
We’re definitely looking forward to spring… but we don’t wait for warm weather to get outside. Coats on, hoods up, and straight to work building, digging, and figuring things out together.
Fresh air is part of our rhythm in every season, even in winter. ❄️
