Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

We have taken our son to this facility since April of 2019 and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The teachers there do a fantastic job of socializing the children and are extremely engaged with them all day. They update the app throughout the day, which sends us updates on how he is doing, if he napped, what he had for lunch, etc. Our son’s vocabulary improved substantially after a few months at the school and they also assisted with his potty training. Overall, the experience has been fantastic and we would recommend Cottesmore to anyone moving to the Gig Harbor area.
