Program Description
Thank you for considering our Early Childhood Learning Centers for your child’s education! We understand that the first five years of a child’s life are incredibly important and we strive to provide a safe, nurturing environment that encourages learning and exploration. Our friendly staff are dedicated to making sure your child’s time with us is enjoyable and meaningful, and that each and every child feels supported and at home in our center. We look forward to having you and your family join us on this educational journey!
Both of our Early Childhood Learning Centers are licensed by the State of Washington’s Department of Early Learning. This ensures that our centers provide top-notch care and educational activities for our children. Our staff works hard to ensure that all state standards are met and that our centers are up to date on the latest early learning techniques and practices. We are proud to offer a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow.

Curriculum
Our program is based on the Y’s Creative Curriculum© and the Y’s core values. It is designed to be engaging and challenging, while still being tailored to the individual needs of each child. We foster a positive and secure environment where children can practice social skills and learn to work through conflicts constructively. We are confident your child will benefit greatly from the learning opportunities available in our program.
