One Year to Kindergarten
Not just cared for. Known.
Global Early Learning is an in-home childcare and preschool in Bellevue, WA offering full-day, year-round care with meals for toddlers, preschoolers, and pre-K children. From the moment they walk in, your kids are loved, protected, and right at home. That means warm meals, big hugs, and the kind of attention only family can give.
Your child is known here
Not managed. Not supervised. Known. We learn how each child thinks, what they're curious about, what they need to feel safe. That doesn't happen by accident, it happens because we're small enough and intentional enough to pay attention.
Home, not facility
We're a licensed home child care. That's a value, not a limitation. It means small group sizes, consistent faces, and a warm environment where your child walks in and feels like they belong. No institutional hallways. No rotating cast of strangers.
Hands-on learning
Children here spend their days with real things — soil, water, wood, leaves, paint, clay. Our curriculum is rooted in hands-on exploration and the natural world, because that's how young minds are wired to learn.
Know what's happening
We believe families deserve real communication and not a generic daily report. You'll know what your child explored, what made them laugh, what they're working through. We're partners in this, not a service behind a closed door.
Two meals. Snacks.
Zero worries
Say goodbye to morning meal prep. We handle hot breakfast, lunch, and snacks every single day. Freshly made, nutritionally balanced, and always respectful of your child's dietary needs.
Every family is welcome
as they are
Different cultures. Different languages. Different family structures. We value diversity and make it a point for every child sees themselves reflected here, and every family is met where they are.

“One of the things we appreciate most is how thoughtful and nurturing the environment feels. The communication has been wonderful, the routines feel intentional, and there is such a strong balance of learning, play, and genuine care. We have seen our child become more curious, social, and independent since being here.”

Don’t take our word,
hear from our families.
“As a family of immigrants this place has felt truly magical to us. They opened their arms to both of my children and treated them like family from the very beginning. I cannot fully express the gratitude and appreciation I have for every single staff member. My kids have truly thrived in this environment. They are cared for, supported, and loved in a way that means more to us than words can capture. Abra and Maggie, thank you. You will always hold the softest and fondest place in my heart.”
— Mia, Children Ages 2 & 5
“Global Early Learning is truly the absolute best preschool and pre-K. My child has flourished in every area, from speech and physical skills to showing us what he has learned and so much more.
The staff goes above and beyond to connect with each child and prepare them for grade school. They really take the time to understand how each child learns and support them in a way that feels personal, thoughtful, and effective.
As someone who works in the early childhood education field I can confidently say that Global Early Learning is top-tier early childhood education. If you want a school that genuinely connects with your family and helps your child thrive, this is the place. I truly would not want my child anywhere else.”
— Heather, Child Age 4
“Global Early Learning is such a special in-home childcare center. It works closely with several other in-home centers on the same street, and the setup is honestly genius. Rainbow supports the babies, Global Early Learning Toddlers seems to focus on children around 18 months to 3 years old, and Global Early Learning Pre-K on the north side of the street seems to support the older 4- to 5-year-olds. It creates a really thoughtful little early learning community.
I was nervous to put my child in childcare because they have some learning differences, but Global Early Learning came highly recommended by a friend as an inclusive learning environment, and we could not be happier. We started in May of last year and have been continually impressed by the quality of the program.
We only wish we had found Global Early Learning sooner.”
— Bianca, Child Age 3
