Petah Villages Eco Learning Academy
Where Children Learn With the Land
Whole-Child, Nature-Based Early Learning
At Petah Villages, learning is child-led, academic-based, and grounded in nature. Through daily routines, outdoor exploration, and hands-on Eco-STEAM learning, children develop language, early math skills, movement, creativity, and confidence.
Our approach supports the whole child—emotionally, socially, physically, and cognitively—while honoring each child’s unique pace and interests.
Serving families in Skyway, Renton, Rainier Beach, South Seattle, Tukwila, and greater Seattle.
Infants (0–12 months)

Petah Villages Eco-Learning Academy offers outdoor, nature-rich learning on 2.4 acres, including over one acre of protected wetlands in Skyway, Seattle.
