A relaxed, safe, and joyful setting promotes learning. Cradle to Crayons provides an atmosphere that nurtures each child's self and family. The center is small and strives to create a home-like atmosphere where children feel secure and are valued as individuals.

Teacher-to-child ratios are better in every classroom than Washington requirements. Classrooms are learning centers where children from six weeks to six years choose from diverse learning activities in an environment rich with meaningful play and developmentally stimulating activities.

Parent participation is encouraged and appreciated. Parents can volunteer in the classroom and on field trips, or just come in and join their child for a meal or a story. The staff at Cradle to Crayons knows that parent-teacher communication is essential, and they look forward to learning about your child from you.
