What Our Before and After Care Customers Say

My daughter has been going to The Preschool at Forest Park for about 8 months now and I couldn't be happier with our choice. The before/after care hours (6:30am-6pm) are perfect for my work schedule. Miss Sarah in the Butterfly room is amazing - she always sends me little updates and photos during the day. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that pickup can get a bit chaotic around 5pm when everyone arrives at once. But overall, great experience and my daughter loves it here!

– Jennifer R., Marysville

Best decision we made for our son! Been here since September 2022. The summer camp program is fantastic - they do these weekly themes (my kid loved the science week where they made volcanoes). The staff actually remembers parents' names and takes time to tell you about your kid's day. Ms. Kelly is super patient with my picky eater. The facility is clean but not sterile - feels homey. Worth every penny.

– Miguel Santos, Marysville

tbh was nervous about putting my twins in preschool but Forest Park has been great. they're really good about keeping siblings together when possible but also giving them chances to be independent. my girls have been going for 3 months and their vocabulary has exploded! they do actual learning activities not just babysitting. parking lot is kinda small tho and gets packed at dropoff. also wish they had more outdoor time when it rains (which is like... always in WA lol) but teachers are wonderful

Frequently Asked Questions About Before and After Care

What are your hours of operation and do you offer before/after care?

Our preschool operates Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Our core preschool program runs from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with before-care available starting at 6:30 AM and after-care until 6:00 PM at no additional cost. We understand many Marysville families commute to Boeing, Seattle, or Everett, so our extended hours are designed to accommodate working parents.

What are your current tuition rates and what's included?

Full-time preschool tuition (M-F) is $1,275 per month, which includes before/after care, all meals (breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack), and our full educational curriculum. Part-time options are available at $875/month for 3 days per week. Summer camp programs run June through August and are $325 per week. We offer a 10% sibling discount and accept DSHS subsidies for qualifying families.

What age groups do you accept and what are your teacher-to-student ratios?

We accept children ages 2.5 to 5 years for our preschool program, and ages 5-12 for our summer camp. Our teacher-to-student ratios exceed state requirements: 1:7 for our younger preschoolers (ages 2.5-3), 1:10 for pre-K (ages 4-5), and 1:12 for summer camp. All lead teachers have Early Childhood Education degrees or equivalent certification, as required by Washington state licensing.

How do I enroll my child and is there a waiting list?

To enroll, first schedule a tour of our facility by calling us or using our online booking system. After the tour, you can complete our online registration form and pay a $150 non-refundable registration fee to secure your spot. Currently, we have limited openings in our pre-K program, but our 2.5-3 year old class has a 3-4 month waiting list. We recommend getting on our waiting list early, as spots fill quickly, especially for fall enrollment.

What safety protocols and licensing does your facility maintain?

We are fully licensed by the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) and maintain all required safety certifications. Our facility features secure entry with keypad access, all staff are background-checked and First Aid/CPR certified, and we conduct monthly emergency drills. We're located in a purpose-built facility in Forest Park with fenced outdoor play areas, and we follow strict health protocols including daily sanitization and illness policies. Our license is prominently displayed in our lobby, and our last inspection report is available upon request.
