About Us

Ages in Stages Early Childhood Education has been caring for South King County families since 2005. We are a locally owned, licensed childcare organization with six sites across Des Moines, Kent, and West Seattle, serving children from 4 weeks old through school age.

Our play-based programs follow children through every stage of early development: infant, toddler, preschool, Pre-K, and before- and after-school care. Our teachers receive ongoing training in developmentally appropriate practice, and our classrooms are designed to build curiosity, social skills, independence, and kindergarten readiness.

Childcare is about the whole family, not just the child. We offer full-day, full-year care, bilingual staff at select sites, and we accept Working Connections childcare subsidy, City of Seattle Subsidy, and BSK subsidy.

We’re proud to be part of the Southside community and always welcome connections with local businesses, schools, and community partners. Contact us to schedule a tour or ask about current openings.
