MISSION STATEMENT
"In partnership with the community, the Bellingham Childcare & Learning Center, a non-profit corporation, provides high quality, affordable childcare to families of all income levels, assisting low-income families to become self-sufficient. Our well qualified, nurturing staff offers a developmentally appropriate and safe learning environment for young children."
"Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning. They have to play with what they know to be true in order to find out more, and then they can use what they learn in new forms of play."
~Mr. Rogers
The Bellingham Childcare & Learning Center (BCLC) is a licensed, NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) accredited childcare and early learning center. Operating on a sliding fee scale, BCLC serves 72 children daily, ages 1 month to 5 years. Developmentally appropriate practices guide our curriculum, with an emphasis on creativity, choice, growing independence, cooperation, and friendship. In addition, building relationships between adults (staff, parents, community) for the benefit of families is a critical component.
We are open year-round, from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
