Are you looking for a play-based
child care center in Seattle?
If this describes you, then you have come to the right school! We are much more than a daycare. Seattle Learning Center is a licensed child care and preschool provider. We have a highly educated teaching staff and your child will be in a safe and nurturing environment that encourages them to:
- Experience a variety of physical and stimulating play activities
- Acquire academic skills through natural curiosity and play
- Develop their cognitive, physical, and social/emotional skills
- Interact and socialize with other kids their own age
- Gain a love for learning, be independent learners, and have fun!
Whatever your desire for your child may be...to attend Harvard, to be an artist... sending them to SLC will help lay a strong foundation to achieve their goals and dreams.
To lay this strong foundation, we place an emphasis on the benefits of learning through play and the importance of developing social-emotional skills. By teaching students skills in self-awareness, self-management, getting along with others, and decision-making, we are giving them the foundation to be successful lifelong learners in society. In the report published in the peer-reviewed journal Child Development, researchers led by Joseph A. Durlak, a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Chicago, found that students who took part in social and emotional learning programs have better grades than those who did not participate.
Social and emotional school readiness is critical for young children’s early school success-and may even set the stage for success later in life. Those children who enter school without these basic social and emotional competencies are not ready to learn, are less likely to be successful in the early years of school and may face a cascade of behavioral, emotional and academic problems throughout their young lives.
