Bainbridge Island Child Care Centers



Bainbridge Island Child Care Centers has three locations serving approximately 170 children each, with 300 families participating yearly. As a non-profit organization, we are committed to providing a quality education and child care program for ALL children.

Mission
Our mission is to serve the community and its families by providing affordable, accessible programs for preschool and school age children where fun and learning are promoted in a creative, nurturing and safe environment.

Philosophy
The program strives to provide an atmosphere and environment conducive to every child's continued growth and development with respect for each child's "specialness" in development, culture, family and self. A child learns best when respected and appreciated as an important and capable individual.

Each program is licensed by Washington State. Tuition assistance is available in cooperation with the Department of Social and Health Services, City of Bainbridge Island Service Grant, Bainbridge Foundation, Helpline House and through other occasional scholarship grants.
