About Harbour Pointe Christian Preschool

For more than 25 years, Harbour Pointe Christian Preschool has been a trusted part of the Mukilteo community. Our preschool was founded with a simple goal: to create a joyful place where young children can grow, explore, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

At HPCP, we believe children learn best through purposeful play, meaningful relationships, and hands-on discovery. Our classrooms are designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence while providing a safe and nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported. We are fully committed to building a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning for your little ones!

Our dedicated teachers guide children as they build important early skills - socially, emotionally, academically, and spiritually. Through play-based learning, exploration, and connection with others, students develop independence, kindness, and pride in their accomplishments.

We are honored to partner with families during these important early years and to help lay the foundation for each child’s future learning journey.

What others have to say.
Two Kids, One Incredible Journey!

Choosing a preschool is such a big decision, but from the moment we joined this community, we knew our children were in the best hands. Having seen both of my kids grow up within these walls, I am struck by the genuine love the teachers have for every student. It’s a rare thing to find a place that feels like a second home, where 'lifelong friends' isn't just a phrase, but a reality for both the kids and the parents. We are moving on to the next chapter with bittersweet hearts, but so much gratitude for the foundation built here. - Ayano N. 

đź’› Why Our Family Loves HPCP

As a parent, Harbour Pointe Christian Preschool has meant so much to our family. Both of my kids were lucky enough to spend their early years here, and it truly feels like the teachers helped raise them alongside us. The love, patience, and encouragement they pour into these kids every day is something really special.

My children learned so much during their time here, not just letters and numbers, but kindness, confidence, and how to be a good friend. They made lifelong friends, and honestly… so did I.

Watching them move on from this wonderful little community is bittersweet. We’re so grateful for the incredible teachers and the joyful, nurturing environment they created for our family. - Anna B. 

The Best Start for My Kids

Both of our kids have grown up here, and saying goodbye is truly bittersweet. From the incredible teachers to the wonderful community, everything about this school is top-tier. Our oldest was perfectly prepared for kindergarten, and we couldn't be more thankful for the foundation they built here. It’s a special place that creates lifelong friendships and confident learners. - Jeff N.
