Shortlist replaces people’s names in the state’s text with initials. This is done by rule, not by hand, so it can miss a name or shorten a word that isn’t one. The state’s report, linked on each row, has the original.

Openings, Working Connections subsidy, cost, hours and late pickup, teaching approach, a typical day, and sick and biting policies aren’t on this page.

Who cares for your child

State record

From Washington DCYF’s published reports, last checked October 10, 2026.

Details

Small means the smallest quarter of Seattle-area’s 859 licensed centers by state-licensed capacity: 6 to 40 children. Medium is 41 to 114; large is 115 to 323.

The ages on the license are what the state licenses it to care for, which can be wider than the ages it takes.
