Young Child Academy of Greenwood

Young Child Academy, an early childhood development program, moved to the Greenwood neighborhood in 2023. After operating for over 20 years on lower Queen Anne, the school relocated to a newly renovated space on Greenwood Ave N. Young Child Academy enrolls students ranging in ages from Infant (5 months+) to Pre-Kindergarten (5 years). At the beginning of 2025 Young Child Academy opened a second location in the South Lake Union Neighborhood.

At Young Child Academy, we aim to promote learning by providing a developmentally appropriate program that balances play with structured learning opportunities. Emergent literacy is nurtured through a language-rich curriculum that uses quality literature to engage learners and encourage phonological awareness. We understand that involving students in dance, drama, music, and art has a positive impact on brain development. Therefore, we incorporate daily arts-based activities to cultivate student creativity, while developing an awareness and appreciation for the visual and performing arts. Daily foreign language and culture classes expose our students to new opportunities and skills at a time when they are most receptive.

At Young Child Academy we acknowledge the artistic and cultural wealth in our community, and we believe that parents are ideal resources to help tap that wealth. Therefore, we welcome opportunities to develop relationships within our community and we encourage family and neighborhood participation.

Hours of operation are from 7:00 am to 5:45 pm and the address is 9218 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle WA 98103. We provide virtual tours as well as in-person tours of our facility.
