Tell us your child’s age, preferred days, and desired start date. Our team will follow up about availability.
Language, culture, and community
Our Seattle program offers Tagalog immersion, Filipino cultural learning, and intergenerational activities in partnership with the Filipino Community of Seattle. Songs, stories, routines, and play give children meaningful ways to explore language and culture.
For outdoor play, Seattle uses the fully fenced Interagency Academy playground. Columbia Park open-space areas are a backup when the primary area is unavailable or unsafe and the backup is appropriate. Families provide walking permission at enrollment.

Questions before you join us
How do I tour Seattle?
Use our tour scheduling page and choose Seattle. We add appointments as staff availability allows. If no times are listed, email admin@cherubsnurseryschool.com.
Which attendance schedules are available?
Full-time care is four or five days per week; part-time care is two or three days. Options depend on available space and staffing. Share your preferred days in the inquiry form, and our team will confirm the options and tuition for your child. Seattle extended-care hours require advance approval and an additional fee.
What should I know about meals and allergies?
Cherubs is nut-free. Administration must approve all food from home before it comes to school, including meals, snacks, and celebration food. Tell us about allergies and dietary needs so we can review the required care and food plans with you.
Where can I find the handbook and enrollment steps?
Visit Family Resources for the all-sites handbook, practical guidance, and Procare help. Site-specific documents can be requested from our team. Our enrollment guide explains the forms and records needed before the first day.
Where can I learn about help paying for childcare?
