Home-Based Care

Kid N Around Child Care and Preschool was founded on a simple belief: young children thrive best in environments that feel like home. Located at 197 Sussex Ave E in Tenino, Washington, our program offers an intimate, family-style setting where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.

We blend structured early-learning activities with plenty of unstructured playtime — because research shows that both are essential for building the social, emotional, and cognitive foundations that last a lifetime. Our experienced caregivers bring warmth, patience, and genuine passion to everything they do.

What Makes Kid N Around
Different
Parents in Tenino choose us because we offer something many larger centers can't — a genuinely personal, family-centered approach to early childhood care.

Home-Based Intimacy

Small groups in a residential setting mean your child gets individualized attention that large centers simply can't match. No crowded halls — just a warm, familiar environment where every child belongs.

Developmentally Grounded

Our activities are informed by early childhood development best practices — not just busy work. Every game, story, and craft is designed to support real milestones in cognition, language, and social-emotional growth.

Transparent Family Partnership

We keep parents in the loop with regular updates about your child's day, milestones, and any questions that come up. Your insights matter, and we welcome your partnership in your child's growth.

Rooted in Tenino

We're not a chain or a franchise. We're your neighbors — committed to serving the Tenino community with the same care we'd want for our own families. Local, trustworthy, and here for the long haul.

Start They Deserve
