“Big Changes Start with Small People”

Welcome to Interlake Child Care and Learning Center. Interlake provides full and part-time care for Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers. Founded in 1982, Interlake is a NAEYC accredited, 501(c)3 non-profit center, governed by a Board of Directors comprised of current and former parents. Every dime we raise and receive is applied toward our mission of helping you raise your children to be responsible, creative, compassionate human beings.

Interlake provides a warm and caring environment that celebrates diversity and allows children maximum freedom of choice while ensuring their physical and psychological safety. Our website provides some background information on Interlake as well as details on programs offered, rates and hours of operation. You can also request a tour or view our waiting list policy by completing one of these forms.

Updated Snow/Adverse Weather Policy as of December 8, 2010

The board of directors of Interlake has determined that Interlake will return to our previous policy of following the Seattle Public Schools’ (SPS) Ice & Snow Emergency Schedule. If SPS close, start late, or close early so will Interlake. To stay informed of SPS snow closures, check www.seattleschools.org or www.schoolreport.org.

If Seattle Public Schools are on break, the Executive Director (Carol) will make the decision regarding closures or late openings related to adverse weather conditions. Should Interlake be closed, open late, or close early, the information will be posted on the doors and the website, and the outgoing message will be changed to reflect that day’s schedule. Interlake staff may call you to apprise you of weather-related closures.  For this reason, please ensure that Interlake has current contact information for you and promptly notify the school if your contact information changes.

FLOOD:

During the school day, if the building is being flooded (ground water, sewage, debris, etc.) we will close the center. Parents will be called to pick up their children for the day. If the affected areas can be safely cleaned and sanitized in time, the center will open the following day. If a flood occurs overnight, parents will be notified as soon as possible of the closure for the following day. Information regarding the closure due to flooding, will be posted on the doors, website, and an email via our private website. The outgoing phone message will be changed to reflect the affected day’s schedule by 6:00 am.

POWER OUTAGE:

During the school day, if a power outage lasts more than 30 minutes, we will close the center. Parents will be called to pick up their children for the day. If the power outage happens overnight and the center is still experiencing an outage at 6:00 am, we will post the closure on the outside doors of the building and note the closure on the outgoing voicemail and the website. If possible, we will send out an email via our private website.
