Future Beginnings Child Care Center

7628 HENDERSON BLVD SE TUMWATER, WA

Future Beginnings Childcare Center operates under a philosophy that children need to be treated with warmth and respect. Personal attention to each child is important to providing quality experiences for all children while in our care, including children with special needs. We strongly believe that early learning is about the whole child. During their first years they are developmentally like sponges learning to develop their fine/ gross motor skills, social and emotional skills, language, and their cognitive abilities. What they learn and experience in their first few years helps lay the foundation to how they learn in the years to come.

Caleb P. says "They have been fantastic. We had our older daughter there for 4 years. Our son goes there now. All the teachers have been amazing. I can’t say enough...

Sprouting Smarties Child Care

5479 57th Loop SE Lacey, WA

What sets Sprouting Smarties apart: As an In-Home Preschool, we are able to balance the individualized attention your child deserves with the Pre-K curriculum to have them prepared and ready for Kindergarten. We will focus on developing your child's self-worth and confidence. Lots of hugs! We have the ability to develop a strong relationship in teaming together to successfully raise your precious child. Issues such as food choices, potty training, behaviors (good and bad), socialization, and early education can be resolved through mutually beneficial communications. A small, (and manageable), number of children in my care means that we can often take "family" outings to the park or story hour, or even nature hikes or sidewalk strolls. I am an educator at heart and love to watch all children learn and grow; I believe every child is beautiful, smart, and full of potential. We started out as a small in-home Nursery, but have continued to grow year-to-year. Sprouting Smarties is now a fully functioning Preschool with a new classroom and playground. Though our business has evolved, we still maintain our ideal teacher to child ratio to ensure the best learning and growing experience for your children.

Jamie says "Michelle is great! My daughter loved going there she teaches them so much and they have so much fun doing it. Best childcare/preschool."

8410 Spurgeon Creek Road Olympia, WA

I have been a licensed provider for many years, but the truth is, I am a provider and a mother. My whole life is your children and mine. I believe children should have a simple and healthy child hood. I choose to teach through example. I do have my CDA and I do fallow the DEL guide lines to the letter. I try to fallow a basic schedule, so the kids know what to expect from their day, and add fun activities, or add things to centers to bring new flair to already loved games. What makes me different from other day cares. Nothing. Or at least I would like to think nothing. I am a good daycare doing the best for my kids and I would hope other day cares are exactly the same.

Emily S. says "My son and I love Ms Mariette! You can tell she cares deeply for the children she looks after. As for meeting the child first before caring for them it...
