Curiosity Corner School provides quality Child care to children 4 weeks to 9 years. We provide help to the families of these children. We partner with Head Start
to bring services to 16 low income 3-5 year olds. Our population is usually 60-70% DSHS child care subsidized. Our families are mid-low income working people of the White Center/Burien area.

Description:
Our center is licensed for 70 children.We usually run at about 63 total. We have been in the White Center and Burien areas for 21 years. We employ 15 teachers and staff. Our staff is dedicated, most have been with us many years. We encourage our teachers to continue their education and become better educators.
One of our goals is to work with families to help them through the trials of raising children and give them skills to work with their children in a positive way. We Have family dinners, classes and a family advocate on staff to help them find the services they need.
