Info

We are open during the school year from 6:30 to 9:00 AM before school and 3:15 to 6:00 PM after school. We are open all school days (except May 1st), all early dismissal days and only certain vacation days. (See the B.T. Yearly Schedule for more information.) We offer a drop-in option as space is available. Blazing Trails accepts DSHS, City and U.W. subsidies and has limited scholarships or work-trade at the Director's discretion. Our goal is to inspire positive self-esteem, respect for self and others and a sense of responsibility for one's own behavior. Parents/Guardians are always welcome to drop by to share their experiences or to just "hang out" and play with us! Blazing Trails is a non-profit organization with its own governing council and is run through Pathfinder's PTSA. Blazing Trails maintains an 11 to 1 student/adult ratio. This ratio may vary due to the needs of individual activities (ie. outdoor games may have up to a 15:1 ratio whereas an art project could require a 6:1 ratio). We have use of Pathfinder's playground, lower field, kitchen and gym facilities. We provide healthy snacks. Our curriculum is child-centered, culturally relevant and developmentally appropriate.
