Play-Based Child Care in Granite Falls & Marysville, WA

Guided by research. Grounded in play. Rooted in care.

At Billie’s Busy Kids, we provide age-specific early learning programs for children from 3 weeks to 5 years old. Our classrooms are calm, engaging, and filled with opportunities to explore, create, and connect. Each program is led by qualified early childhood educators and supported by evidence-based curriculum that adapts to the needs of each age group.

What Makes Our Programs Different

Better-Than-State Ratios

We keep our class sizes small and our teacher-to-child ratios lower than required—because children thrive in environments where they feel safe, supported, and truly seen.

A Home-Like Environment

Each of our centers offers a warm, personal atmosphere that feels more like home than a commercial daycare. Children benefit from calm classrooms, consistent caregivers, and nurturing routines.

Educated Early Learning Professionals

All of our teachers are either certified in early childhood education or actively working toward their credentials. We invest in ongoing professional development and value reflective, responsive teaching.

Infant Room (3 weeks – 12 months)

Our infant program uses the Frog Street Infant Curriculum, a responsive, relationship-based approach that supports early brain development through intentional activities, music, and sensory play.

What we focus on:

  • Consistent routines and secure attachments

  • Gentle sensory exploration and tummy time

  • Individualized care based on your baby’s needs

Toddler Room (12 – 30 months)

Toddlers are full of curiosity—and our classroom keeps up. We use the FunShine Express Curriculum to guide play-based activities that build language, motor skills, and emerging independence.

Program highlights:

  • Hands-on discovery through art, music, and sensory play

  • Language-rich environment to support communication

  • Early social-emotional skills through guided interaction

Preschool Room (2.5 – 4 years)

Preschoolers are ready to build on what they’ve learned—and we’re here to help them grow. Using FunShine Express and Second Step, we support emerging academics, creativity, and strong peer relationships.

What we include:

  • Literacy, early math, and STEM through purposeful play

  • Group learning and social skill development

  • Daily emotional skill-building with Second Step

Pre-Kindergarten Room (4 – 5 years)

Our Pre-K program bridges the gap between early childhood and kindergarten. We continue to use FunShine Express and Second Step, with an added focus on kindergarten readiness.

Kindergarten readiness focus:

  • Writing, pre-reading, and early math foundations

  • Emotional regulation and group participation

  • Confidence-building in a supportive, small-group setting

Whole Child Support

We believe in seeing and supporting the whole child. That means:

  • Play-based learning, guided by assessments and observation

  • ASQ® and ASQ-3® developmental screenings

  • Support for children with individual needs or IEPs through collaboration with early intervention professionals
