An SIDC kid is

 
 

“The solid foundation and love my son was shown at SIDC grew into a love of learning.

“We really like that it’s a nonprofit and that our tuition goes to fund the education of our daughter, not to enrich shareholders.”

 Located in downtown Seattle,
SIDC Kids has been a premier childcare resource for more than 45 years.

A non-profit corporation caring for children from 1 month to 6 years, SIDC is not simply a childcare center, but a downtown Seattle mini-community. We are proud not only of our educational program but the collaboration and involvement of the long-time SIDC family of parents, teachers and staff behind it.

Learn More about our community and what makes us unique

The Seattle Infant Development Center is a non-profit corporation that has served downtown Seattle since we opened our doors in 1979. Created as Seattle’s first infant childcare center, we have grown to include 5 classrooms that serve children up to 6 years old. Even as children transition to kindergarten and beyond, families remain part of the greater SIDC Community long after they have graduated. These relationships are born out of the tenets established more than 45 years ago: Warmth, Nurturing, Caring & Commitment.
