Seattle Infant Development Center

"My daughter joined SIDC in 2021 and has absolutely thrived. We were only looking for a daycare, but were lucky enough to find this educational center. SIDC uses the HighScope curriculum to encourage curiosity through active learning. Our child's social and emotional development is extraordinary. Wonderful teachers and staff, highly recommend."

"My son has been going to SIDC (Seattle Infant Development Center) for almost 3 years and we have been very happy about it. SIDC has great teachers and their average teacher turn out time is over 10 years. They have excellent teacher to student ratios; they keep it lower than what the state dictates. This was true before Covid-19 and it is even lower now, because of Covid-19. They also managed the Covid-19 situation really well and they take all the precautions that is possible. I am really happy about how my son has been learning, while he is having a lot of fun too."

"Our family joined SIDC in the small toddlers classroom in the Fall of 2020. After touring many childcare centers we were drawn to SIDC because of the location, legacy of center, small class sizes, and consistency of care given by the teachers. SIDC is a non-profit with a long history in Seattle (30+ years) run by a parent-led board and a wonderful admin team. The average tenure for teachers is 10 years which is a testament to how much they love what they do. Our son has grown so much in the past few months and seems to be thriving in the classroom—in fact, one of his first 25 words was his head teachers name. We love getting updates on the Brightwheel App throughout the day and are very happy we joined the SIDC community."

"We joined the SIDC community (the infant room) in the fall of 2020. After touring other preschools/daycares in the area, our family was was drawn to SIDCs experienced faculty and mindful admin. Many of the teachers have been on staff for over 10 years (typical turnover at daycares is 30%)! The school communicates on a daily and weekly basis via email and an app; all the staff are warm and positive and are true partners in helping to raise our son. We feel so grateful to be at SIDC."

"Our daughter has attended SIDC since she was an infant. There are a lot of things that make SIDC great (small classes, location is really convenient for anyone working downtown, etc.) but the staff and sense of community are what we love most. The teachers are some of the kindest and most loving people we've ever met, and our daughter has thrived under their care."
