What Every Lil' Patriots Program Includes

No matter which program your child joins, the foundation is the same: trained teachers, a research-backed curriculum, and daily communication with your family. Here is what is included across all three programs and every campus.

HighScope Curriculum

Children learn by doing. The HighScope approach uses a plan-do-review routine, small-group activities, and child-led exploration so learning feels like play while building real academic and social skills.

Meals Included

Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided at no additional cost. Mealtimes double as social learning, with children practicing table manners, conversation, and trying new foods together.

Qualified, Caring Teachers

Our staff hold the certifications required by the Washington Department of Children, Youth, and Families and complete ongoing early childhood education coursework, CPR, first aid, and background checks.

Safe, Secure Classrooms

Every campus uses locked entry with family door codes and perimeter cameras. Classrooms are organized by age so materials, furniture, and routines match your child's stage of development.

Full-Day Weekday Hours

All programs run Monday through Friday, 6:30am to 6:00pm, with drop-off and pick-up times that work for commuting parents. Families can also take one week off per month for added flexibility.

Flexible Payment Options

We accept private pay, Washington state child care subsidies, and Child Care Aware fee assistance for military families. See our child care subsidies page to learn how we help with the paperwork.

Every Program at Three Convenient Campuses

All three programs are offered at each Lil' Patriots Academy location, so you can choose the campus closest to home or work. Explore the Puyallup 56th Ave campus, the Puyallup 176th Street campus, or the Spanaway campus to see classroom photos and campus-specific program pages. Families who need part-time preschool can also visit our sister school, Buttons and Bows Preschool in Puyallup.

Not Sure Which Program Fits? Start With a Tour

A tour is the easiest way to decide. You will see the classroom your child would join, meet the teachers, and get straight answers about openings, schedules, and tuition. Many families tour two campuses before choosing.
