School-age programs in Seattle, WA
71 licensed providers · official WA DCYF data
Seattle has 71 state-licensed before- and after-school programs for kids 5 and up — 5,538 licensed seats between them (total capacity across all ages each program serves, not seats for this age alone). 8 are independent rather than part of a chain or multi-site organization. Sorted A–Z; open any provider for ages served, capacity, typical costs and contact details.
Choosing before- and after-school care in Seattle
These 71 programs hold Washington's specific school-age license (ages five through twelve, enrolled in school), staffed at one adult to fifteen children with groups up to thirty. Many operate inside Seattle elementary schools and community centers, which is why names like "Kids Co at…" and "…Community Center" dominate this list.
Cost runs on a different scale from daycare: the 2024 King County median for part-time before/after-school care was about $500/month (school-day mornings and afternoons, not full-day care) — see the cost guide.
The questions that matter most here are logistical:
- Which schools they serve — on-site at your school, walking pickup, or van transport? Confirm your exact school, not the neighborhood.
- School-break coverage — early dismissals, snow days, winter/mid-winter/spring break and summer: covered, extra-cost, or closed?
- Homework balance — is there quiet homework time, and is it supported or just supervised?
- Late-pickup reality — the fee, and what actually happens at 6:01pm.
- What kids do with the hours — free play, gym time, clubs, or screens.
