School Notes
- Welcome to KinderCare Salmon Creek conveniently located on 134th
Street with access to both Interstate 5 and 205. Our center has
provided quality care to children from 6 weeks to 12 years of age
for over 10 years. We take great pride in offering an outstanding
early learning experience to the families we serve.
We have 11 classrooms and 3 large fenced playgrounds designed to encourage large motor development and allow our teachers to continue the learning experience outside the classroom. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed by experts in our Education department to focus on helping your child learn through play and jump-start their educational journey.
No need to worry about packing lunches or breakfast before school -- we provide well balanced nutritional meals including breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks.
We welcome you to come see for yourself, and hope to see you soon! - Our center focuses on safety each and everyday. We have a keypad entry to both the infant classrooms along with the main doorway into the building. We require our families to provide written permission for those authorized to pick up their children and require a photo identification from anyone unknown to the staff or management before a child is released to an adult. We are a nut-free center and take all necessary precautions to accommodate food allergies. Our menu has been carefully planned to allow us to order foods that not only do not contain nuts but are also not manufactured where nuts are processed as well. All staff members in our building have completed CPR and First Aid training for infants, children and adults along with a Bloodborne Pathogens/HIV and AIDS training as well. Criminal background checks have also been completed on all employees at our center.
- Hours Of Operation: 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM, M-F
