Details

Medium means the middle half of Seattle-area’s 859 licensed centers by state-licensed capacity: 41 to 114 children. Small is 6 to 40; 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.

The other centers’ visit lines are from Washington DCYF’s published reports as Shortlist read them on October 9, 2026.
