Associated Recreation Council is one of the largest providers of licensed childcare in Washington State. We offer fun, engaging opportunities that support continued learning and personal growth outside of school. The focus of our program is to provide children with opportunities to develop socially, emotionally, and physically. The atmosphere at our program is one that emphasizes community relationships, but also recognizes individual achievement, creativity, and original thinking. We make it our mission to promote self-awareness, self-control, conflict resolutions skills, and positive decision-making abilities. We like to work in partnership with our local schools to make sure your child's educational experience is constantly being enriched. Our trained staff works daily to offer activities in areas such as arts and culture, environmental stewardship, health and fitness, academic support, and more.
The Associated Recreation Council (ARC), in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation, serves Seattle by offering a variety of recreational and lifelong learning programs, classes, and activities.
ARC, incorporated in 1975 as an independent nonprofit organization, supports this work through the ARC Board of Directors and a system of 36 advisory councils. Citizen volunteers on the board and advisory councils help to enhance the mission and vision of Parks by providing a connection to the community and advocating for the success of citywide recreation services.
Our mission is to inspire engagement and participation in equitable, dynamic, culturally relevant, and responsive recreation and lifelong learning programs.
