A licensed home daycare in Bellevue 98007 that opens at 5 AM, so you can get to work.

Leaving a baby with someone new is one of the hardest parts of going back to work. In a home daycare your infant is not one of a long row of cribs. Feeding, napping and diaper changes follow the schedule you already use at home, and we write down what happened during the day so pickup is easy.

Babies spend their awake time being held, talked to, read to and given safe floor time to roll, reach and crawl. Our caregivers are CPR and First Aid certified, and the home is set up and inspected under Washington State licensing rules for child care homes.

Because we open at 5 AM, parents who start early shifts can drop off without asking a relative for help before sunrise.

Toddlers learn by doing. Our day includes blocks, puzzles, pretend play, music, picture books and outdoor time, all chosen to build language, coordination and confidence.

In a mixed age home, toddlers watch older children share, take turns and clean up, and they copy it. That is one of the quiet advantages of family child care. Toddlers also get help with routines that matter to parents, like washing hands, eating at the table, and getting ready for potty training when you are.

Home cooked meals and snacks are served, and we work with you on allergies and dietary needs.

Three to five year olds get a curriculum that supports thinking, social and emotional growth. Children practice early reading with books and letter games, count and sort with real objects, draw and build, and work on the skills teachers notice most in kindergarten: listening, following a routine, and getting along with others.

Children also learn to take turns, use kind words and help each other, so they start school confident in a group.

For school age children up to age 7, afternoons include a snack, homework time, enrichment projects and supervised play. Children get a chance to unwind after class in a home where they already feel comfortable.

With hours from 5 AM to 11 PM on weekdays, families who work early, late or split shifts have coverage on both ends of the school day. Ask us about school day schedules for your child's school.
