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, ratios and staff, a typical day, and sick and biting policies aren’t on this page.

State record

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

Details

Mid-size means licensed for 7 to 11 children, among Seattle-area’s 1,532 licensed family homes by state-licensed capacity. Small is 3 to 6; full-size is 12, the most any Seattle-area family home holds.

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