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

How they teach

State record

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

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.
