About Me

My photo
Annie's Alphabet
Bellevue, WA
I have been in the childcare business for over 22 years. I love what I do and I am thankful each day I get to have such a great career. Everyday we have hands on creative learning experiences and our painting, playdough, and sensory bin are always accessible. We have daily circle time activities which include music, stories, storytelling, sharing, calendar and weather. Our weeks are broken down into thematic units that encourage curiosity, self-direction, and confidence while developing social skills. We access our large outside natural play space everyday where kids can explore, run, ride bikes, climb, slide, and more. I know your child will love it here!...give us a call!
