HELLO!

 

We believe every child is full of strengths, inquisitiveness, and endless possibilities for growth. Our team is passionate about helping each young learner expand their knowledge of the world around them through play, discovery, and connection. We’re proud to hold Washington’s highest quality rating for early learning programs—but what matters most is the joy sparkling in a child’s eyes when they learn something new. From music and stories to exploring nature and asking big questions, we create a safe, caring space where all children belong, families feel supported, and a love of learning takes root.

Since Valley Early Learning Center’s modest beginning in 2010 offering childcare services for district staff, our program has flourished into a multi-faceted early learning school for our community and surrounding areas. Our continuous improvement efforts center around providing high quality learning environments, staff knowledge and professionalism, and conscientious student care.

And now, construction is underway on a new school building, allowing our dedicated staff to serve up to 130 children, ages 12 months-12 years, with heart, creativity and excellence.

Thank you for letting us be a part of your child’s educational journey!
