    What We Are About

    We use the Creative Curriculum while encouraging your child’s natural curiosity and building on what he or she already knows. We align with Washington State Early Learning Guidelines and believe in authentic, ongoing, observation-based assessment strategies that focus on strengths. We respond to the individual needs of each child and encourage a love of learning every step of the way.

    We are about paint and glue and color and imagination. We celebrate creativity and good manners, respect for yourself and others and hand washing. We share stories and music and ideas and togetherness. We notice our surroundings and explore and ask questions. We know when it’s your birthday and when life is tough, and we care. We want good things for each child, now and forever. We are here to make that happen in the best way we can and know how. We are the Valley Early Learning Center, here for you and your family.
