We operate year-round, with our program commencing on July 1st.
While the majority of new students start in July, we offer rolling enrollment if you’re newly transitioning to the area or as needed.
The covered outdoor play areas are a perennial favorite, where rain or shine, students enjoy active play and fresh air. Thoughtfully designed space also includes our classrooms that encourage open-air, and child-friendly amenities like age-appropriate sinks. This environment, coupled with our dedicated staff, creates a learning space where students can thrive.
Our location is easy access to/from I-90 and I-405.
Experience our environment firsthand by scheduling a tour, and you’ll see why our facility stands out.
We welcome students aged one year and above.
Our program supports students up to fifth grade. To discuss the best program for your child, please contact our team.
Yes, with nutritious foods that kids love! Full-day students receive lunch and three snacks, while part-time students are provided with lunch and one snack.

Our teacher to child ratio for our one year olds is 1:6. For our two year olds the ratio is 1:7. Preschool ratio is 1:10, while Kindergarten has a 1:15 ratio. We provide excellent care with friendly teachers, quality supplies, a first-rate facility, and professional support and supervision. Discover for yourself our classroom settings by arranging a visit.
Our school’s most important assets are the teachers who work with your children. We work very hard to keep them happy. Our wages, benefits and work environment are at the top of the education industry. We treat our teachers as professionals and our turnover is low. We have teachers and administrators who have worked with us for decades. You are encouraged to meet our long-tenured team during your school tour and see the difference their experience makes.
Before/After provides a snack, and gives children a chance to play and receive help with homework if needed. It's fun and relaxing. Our program can provide a supportive and engaging extension to your child's school day.
The schools change every year depending on demand.
Schools we serve with after-school care are Somerset Elementary, Hazelwood Elementary and Newport Heights Elementary (after school only). To inquire about travel arrangements for your child, please reach out to our program coordinator at (425)641-0824.
Our school observes an open door policy. We ask that you schedule an appointment with our directors to tour our school.
We close on New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, the Friday after Thanksgiving, and Christmas. We also have 1-2 teacher training days per year, and typically give at least a months notice for these dates.
Our positive guidance approach enhances each child’s emotional development while helping children gain the skills to solve conflicts in a positive manner. Teachers recognize and encourage pro-social behaviors among children, such as cooperation, using words to solve problems, and demonstrating empathy for others. We believe in intrinsic motivation, which refers to behavior that is driven by internal rewards. In other words, the motivation to engage in a behavior arises from within the individual because it is naturally satisfying to you. This contrasts with extrinsic motivation, which involves engaging in a behavior in order to earn external rewards or avoid punishment. We try to anticipate and eliminate potential problems by providing clear, consistent guidelines. The day's schedule is well-planned and organized, creating less opportunity for conflicts. We use our best professional judgment when conflicts do arise by either intervening or redirecting the child to a new activity to change the focus of the child’s behavior, or by providing individualized attention to help the child deal with the particular behavior. We empower the children to make good choices. Natural or logical consequences of the child’s behavior are utilized as another means of promoting positive behavior.
We work hard to stay open, but also keep everyone safe. However, if we should have to close, we notify King 5 News as soon as possible and will text and email all parents individually. In the case of an emergency during the school day (i.e. power outages, etc…) we will text parents directly. Please keep all contact information current and up to date.
