Who We Are

Colton Childcare, operated by the Colton School District, is dedicated to providing high-quality early learning experiences for children from six weeks through elementary school. Our mission is to nurture a love of learning while supporting each child’s growth and development in a safe, caring, and engaging environment.

With caring staff, hands-on learning opportunities, and strong partnerships with families, we strive to create a consistent and loving atmosphere where children can thrive. We offer full-day childcare, preschool learning, and before/after-school programs, with flexible schedules designed to meet family needs.

Our center emphasizes discovery, exploration, and healthy living—helping children build independence, confidence, and curiosity. Parents are encouraged to stay involved through our open-door policy, daily communication, and family events.

Hours: Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m. For more information, please contact Taylor Mahan, Childcare Director, at childcare@colton.k12.wa.usor 509-229-3401
