Full Day Childcare - Northwest Center

“Roya started at the Child Development Program when she was 5½ months old. We looked at many centers in our quest for a place and people that would become part of our child’s family. We walked in and immediately felt welcomed and at home. I drop Roya off in the morning and am able to walk away knowing she will be loved, valued, respected and taught the value of being herself in her own right.”
—Tammie, Roya’s mother

We believe play, independent thinking, problem solving and self-initiated learning experiences are keys to healthy development. Our program utilizes the Creative Curriculum to assist us in setting goals for each child and evaluating their progress.

Northwest Center’s Child Development Program is an inclusive model where children with and without developmental disabilities learn and play side by side. We believe that in this environment children are given opportunities to reach their highest potential while developing positive attitudes toward all people.

To make this model successful, our classrooms are staffed with highly trained teachers. In each room at least one teacher holds a college degree in Early Childhood Education. Our support staff includes program coordinators, program supervisors and our early intervention team. Teacher-to-child ratios are adjusted to the specific classroom enrollment and individual goals are established for every child. We work closely with Seattle Public Schools to support the Individual Education Program goals that have been laid out for children in our program.
