Programs & Pricing

A program for every age — and a price that doesn't hide.

We're an Early Achievers Level 3 program, and our daily rates are the state-set Early Achievers Level 3, Region 4 rate for each age band — the same rate the state pays under the Working Connections Child Care (WCCC) subsidy. Families pay the same whether care is paid through WCCC or privately. If you qualify for WCCC, you pay only your state-assigned copay (usually $0–$215/mo).

Care is billed by the day, not by the week. Full day is five or more hours of care in a day. Half day is fewer than five hours of care in a day. Registration fee is $50/yr, due at signing and at contract renewal. Transport pickup and drop-off is a separate $150–$300/mo add-on by distance. Overtime past your contracted hours is $15/hr. Late pickup is $1/minute. Renton Sunny is open 24/7, so contracted hours can be daytime, overnight, or weekend — whatever fits your shift. We close on holidays.
