Bellevue College Early Learning Center provides care for children of BC students, staff and faculty, Costco employees and Community members.
As a department of Bellevue College, our mission is to provide high quality, family centered, developmentally appropriate care & early education for young children and their families. In addition, we strive to provide a creative, safe, learning environment that nurtures, respects, and supports each individual’s unique qualities and potential.
Are you interested in working with young children? Our center is hiring lead teachers for the new school year as well as hourly substitutes!
We are government workers with competitive benefits including paid time off and sick leave. Check out our job postings at Bellevue College Job Site
Thanks to our partnership with Costco, we have renovated both our playgrounds (Preschool and Toddlers).
The children get two outside times during the day to enjoy our new space.
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.
