Programs & Pricing
Our monthly base tuition is set to the DCYF Region 4 Licensed Family Home base rate for each age band — the same rate the state pays providers under the Working Connections Child Care (WCCC) subsidy. If you qualify for WCCC, you pay only your state-assigned copay (usually $0–$215/mo). If you're private-pay, you pay the rate below.
Rates shown reflect the Region 4 base rate × 22 weekdays. One-time registration fee is $50/yr. 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. Sunny is open 24/7, so contracted hours can be daytime, overnight, weekend, or holiday — whatever fits your shift.
6 weeks – 11 months
Small, calm space for babies. Feeding and nap schedules follow yours, not ours. State ratios for infants in a Licensed Family Home are stricter than any chain offers.
12 – 17 months
The walking-but-not-quite-talking age. Bridging from infant to toddler activities with extra one-on-one support.
18 – 29 months
Independence, language, and learning to share. Toddlers learn fastest by watching older kids — mixed-age groupings give them that exposure.
30 months – 5 years (not yet in kindergarten)
Kindergarten-readiness without the institutional feel. Lots of reading, counting, drawing, and the kind of unstructured play that builds executive function.
Kindergarten – 12 years
Before-school care, after-school pickup from your child's Renton elementary, summer days, and snow days. The most operationally complex age — and the one parents need the most help with.
We're an in-network Licensed Family Home for WCCC. If you qualify, the state pays our base rate directly and your monthly cost is your assigned copay. Transport remains parent-paid as a separate add-on. We'll help you walk through the application during your tour if you haven't started yet.
