January 10, 2021 Update - Many school districts are planning to return to school in the coming weeks. We are working closely with each to identify space and program needs. We expect to share more details and a registration timeline with currently enrolled families on January 21, 2021. If you are a Snoqualmie Valley School District Kindergarten family, we are contacting you individually to discuss program options. If you attend Y LEAP Academy at the Coal Creek Family YMCA and attend Bellevue Schools, we will individually contact you as well.

Fall Programs Update - Our teams are currently focused on working with school districts to support families as kids transition from distance to in-person models. Please sign up on our interest list to stay up to date as we transition to fall planning.
