Bellevue, WA Child Daycare Center

"Educare" is educational childcare which is provided in a home away from home atmosphere that provides a well-rounded educational and developmental program for your child. While your child is in our care, their activities are planned to provide comprehensive learning, positive experiences, self esteem building, socialization, and preschool instruction for children of appropriate age and development. We also do our very best to provide these important elements through planning their activities to include the mandatory element for a young child which is just plain fun.

* I get many requests from parents for the lunch recipes. Now you can tell your child, Miss Kelly told you how to make it right. Each lunch has a source of protein, fruit, vegetable, bread and served with milk. If you have a special recipe request you would like me to post, let me know.
