About Us

A Small, Loving Home
for Your Child

Nika Daycare is a family-run childcare home in the heart of Kirkland. We believe that the best early learning happens in an environment that feels like home — where children are free to explore, make mistakes, and discover the world at their own pace.

Our small group sizes mean your child receives individual attention, builds meaningful relationships with caregivers, and develops the social and emotional foundations that last a lifetime. Located at 9228 NE 136th Pl, we're conveniently situated near parks, libraries, and the vibrant community of North Kirkland.

Our Approach

Learning Through
Play & Wonder

At Nika Daycare, we follow a play-based curriculum rooted in the belief that children learn best when they're engaged, curious, and emotionally secure. Every day is an opportunity for discovery — whether we're reading together, exploring nature, creating art, or simply building blocks.

We honor each child's unique temperament and pace, offering a balanced routine that includes free play, guided activities, outdoor time, and quiet moments. Our caregivers are trained in early childhood development and bring warmth, patience, and creativity to everything they do.
