WELCOME TO CECE'S PLAYHOUSE!
We are a bilingual preschool and daycare located in Shoreline, Washington that opened its doors in 1993. We strive to create an environment that is creative, nurturing, healthy and safe. I further hope to provide a loving, caring home program where the children will grow in their understanding and respect for each other and learn to make positive choices towards independent growth and development.
ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
My goal as a child care provider is to combine the best of what I have learned and offer it to your child in an environment that is: creative, nurturing, healthy and safe. Although I have lived in the U.S. now for many years, I am originally from Spain and I will incorporate my cultural heritage into a bilingual child care program. I further hope to provide a loving, caring home program where the children will grow in their understanding and respect for each other and learn to make positive choices towards independent growth and development. No program can be completely successful or beneficial to a child without parental involvement. We encourage parents to get involved as much as their schedule allow.
PRESCHOOL
Our preschool program is geared towards children age 3-5 years old. Our activities include literacy, math, science, art, social and plenty of outdoor time to create well rounded experience.
ART
Our art program is thoughtfully put together by the very talented children's story illustrator, Karin Aldersen. Art with Karin is once on a week on Thursdays.

OUR TEAM

MARIA CONSUELO LOPEZ
Owner / Director
I am originally from Spain and came to the States in 1970. I have one son and five grandchildren and one great-grandson.
After several years of working in my family's restaurant business, I decided to change my destiny and went to work at a Montessori Childcare Center, where I got my initial training. After 3 years I opened my own home Childcare in the Maple Leaf area where I served many families for 14 years, moving to Shoreline in September of 2007. I'm fluent in Spanish, English, and Galician.
