“The staff truly care about the kids. I love that my daughter works on her homework there and also loves the after-school activities PLUS getting outside and getting more exercise. I mostly work with the teachers. They are just outstanding!”
–Launch Parent
ON-SITE STAFF, TWELVE SEATTLE-AREA LOCATIONS
Each of our locations is overseen by an on-site program manager who supports the teachers and ensures every child and family has the best possible experience. All staff members participate in continuing professional development to ensure they are current on industry best practices as well as state and federal licensing requirements. Our teachers and program site managers are passionate about their work and the diverse populations they serve. Our locations are supported by administrative and support staff in our Georgetown office.
