Many parents are interested in day care for their children before and after the elementary school day in the Lake Washington School District. Some elementary schools in the district offer day care for students at the school, known as the extended day program. The District is responsible for that program and both hires and supervises the staff involved.
Nonprofit organizations also rent school facilities to offer private day care. Those programs are not run by the district. The staff is hired and supervised by the organization listed.
This list includes both options for your convenience and provides contact information for them. Please confirm times, costs and space availability with each program.
