Since Time Immemorial, our Samish Longhouses have been the cornerstones of our communities.
They are a place for families to gather and take care of each other, from the youngest to the oldest. It is in that spirit that our modern Longhouse facility operates today. The Samish Longhouse currently houses our Early Learning Center and Head Start Preschools. We serve both Tribal and Local Community members. Explore our program offerings here and contact us to learn more.
All of our Samish Indian Nation Preschool Programs include:
- Child-centered, individualized curriculum focused on children's natural love of exploration and creativity
- Meals and snacks provided by our USDA school meal program
- Activities with our Samish Elder's program
