About Us

Enchanted Little Forest Childcare has 3 locations to widely serve our communities. We have one in North Everett, South Everett and one in Snohomish. We believe in teaching and nurturing the whole child, not just in academics but also emotionally and physically. We provide exciting and nurturing environments which allow children to feel safe and explore. We teach based on the concept of learning through play, which allows teachers to form a connection with the child on an emotional level in order to build on a child's knowledge in a fun and creative way. We strive to capture the imagination of our children and instill a sense of awe as they learn through experimentation, and trial and error. Our curriculum and hands-on approach to learning fosters creativity, self-expression and positive self-image. We feel all subjects such as, art, science, music, language development, pre-math skills, sensory, and dramatic play are all equally important to enrich the development of teaching the whole child.
