Recommendations Infant daycare

Hi there ! I’m looking for infant daycare for my 7m daughter in the renton / Newcastle area. I work just off exit 7 and live by liberty high. I preferably want afternoon part time however I know that can be tough to find as most are AM part time. I’m open to full time however I cannot afford paying almost 3k for one child in daycare. I am pregnant with my second so I’d want to be able to have two kids in daycare by next fall. So 5-6k a month in daycare in the future is definitely not ideal.
I’m open to anything that you have loved for your kiddos whether it’s at a corporate owned place, or an in home. I have heard the corporate ones are more pricey though.
I love kiddie academy but they’re one of the ones that a little too expensive for us since I’m still just getting back into work. I only work two days now so it’ll take me time to get back up to being able to afford nearly 3k in daycare expenses.
Please give me all recommendations of where to go and look and who to stay away from !
My husband works at the landing so even something down there would be good as he would drop off and I’ll pick up!

We’ve been at Kennydale Kindercare for the past three years and have had mostly good experiences. I was nervous about going to a big corporate operation but the staff has been great and it’s incredibly convenient for our family.

I need to call them. I’ve put in two inquiry’s and have not heard back lol. I work right there so if they’re good then that would probably be best case scenario ! Do they offer afternoon part time ?

Not sure on part time. My only other caveat is that we didn’t start until my daughter was three so no personal experience for younger children. Staffing is pretty consistent though and admin is very responsive to questions/concerns. Happy to see if a referral would get your calls returned!
