Details

Kid's Country says it is part of Early Learning Academies, which lists it among its brands, with nine centers in the Greater Seattle area, and names Pansophic Learning as its parent company. earlylearningacademies.com

Large means the biggest quarter of Seattle-area’s 855 licensed centers by state-licensed capacity: 116 to 323 children. Small is 6 to 40; medium is 41 to 115.

The ages on the license are what the state licenses it to care for, which can be wider than the ages it takes.
