Kent ISD Child Care Supports

We help families find the best early learning settings for their children, help educators improve the care they provide, and refer parents to additional community resources.

Finding child care for your infant to five-year-old has never been easier! Let our Child Care Navigators take the time and guesswork out of finding the perfect fit for your little one.

How it works:

  • Talk with our Child Care Navigators to discuss your child care needs and preferences.
  • Our navigators search for quality, licensed providers that match your criteria and have space for your child.
  • We provide you with a list of great options.
  • You decide which is right for your family!
