Who are we?
About Us

Families deserve to know that their children are in quality childcare settings that foster a love of learning, promote each child's unique skills and cultures, and support the development of the entire child. In 2014, we joined the Early Achievers Washington Quality Rating Program, created for this purpose. We are getting the best results in all of Washington state.

What We Do and What We Believe
My Little Planet Learning and Childcare Center LLC divides the groups according to the children's stage and skills by age. This way, we can provide better supervision and care and offer children more opportunities to develop social skills by constantly allowing them to interact with a smaller group of children and staff.
To make sure that all the kids in our center get the nutrients that they need, we cook for them every day. All meals are cooked home style and follow a nutrition program.
Philosophy of the Curriculum:
The curriculum that we use is the one written by Teaching Strategies Gold is used from September to June, which is practically based on creating a community in the classroom, taking a positive guide in the behavior of the children, teaching intentionally and responsibly, always evaluating the learning of the children. Offering it in English and Spanish language.
We are dedicated to helping all children succeed! We understand that the most critical moment in a child's life is from birth to age five. We want to make sure we support every child both academically and emotionally. To achieve this, we are using the creative curriculum that helps teachers individualize instruction. Our teachers follow the child's example and track their progress to ensure they meet developmental milestones. Creative Curriculum also helps teachers ensure that children are exposed to all areas of development by encouraging the use of hands-on learning opportunities in the following areas: Social/Emotional, physical, linguistic, and cognitive. By using the same curriculum for all age groups in our programs (toddlers and preschoolers), information about a child can be transmitted as the child moves from our child's room through the preschool classroom. Our highly qualified teachers facilitate the learning in our supportive, intellectually stimulating environment, where children can explore and learn from our different areas of interest, such as dramatic play, science center, writing center, block center and art. Teachers set up these learning centers based on the children's needs and interests (for example, the teacher uses the assessment data to plan activities). Every day we have structured and unstructured learning activities, for example, on a typical day, we could have a small group activity where children learn about butterflies in the reading center and draw butterflies in the art area.
We are one of the first day care centers to be accredited by the Washington Early Achievers, having a quality rating of Level 3. Our experienced staff is the key to the quality of our services and education that we provide. We also see to it that we give our undivided attention with regard to the supervision of your children.
