Welcome to Bellevue College Early Learning Center

Fully Enrolled-23-24 school year

We are fully enrolled until September 2024. Currently, we only have Headstart spaces available in our Preschool/Pre-K classrooms. If you are on a subsidy and have a child between 3-5 we have space for you. If anything else opens up, we go to the waitlist and contact families from that. Please get on the waitlist now and we’ll be in touch.

New Playground!

Thanks to our partnership with Costco, we have renovated both our playgrounds (Preschool and Toddlers).

Our kids get two outside times during the day to enjoy our new space.

Getting to know us?

BC’s Early Learning Center (ELC) offers child care in a nurturing environment that encourages discovery, learning and development for children and their families. The program is designed for children ranging in ages three months to six years. Read about our program philosophy, our daily activities, and the qualifications of our staff.

We are continuing to follow CDC and state licensing guidelines, we take daily temperature readings and of course, encourage/require masks! (Children over two years old are encouraged to wear masks, adults are required.)
