Our story and our village
Welcome to Pawpaw Cares 4U Childcare, proudly serving families across Sea-Tac, Washington. Grounded in the belief that "it takes a village to raise a child," we provide safe, attentive, and flexible care for newborns up to children nine years old.
Continuing a legacy of heartfelt care
Originally established in 2003 as Granny Cares Childcare, our center reopened as Pawpaw Cares 4U to carry forward the lifelong mission my late wife and I started together. Over the years we have cared for over 2 hundred children. We have had invitations to Graduation Parties by several of our former students. We love what we do
Inspiring young minds through active learning
We introduce your child to early learning starting with everyday fundamentals. From curious infants to bright nine-year-olds, we challenge our kids to learn and discover through guided play and hands-on activities, ensuring they are thoroughly prepared and excited for grade school.
Reliable care tailored to working families
Conveniently located near Sea-Tac Airport and Southcenter Mall, our licensed daycare supports parents with extended operating hours from 5:30 AM to 9:00 PM, alongside dependable after-hours care. We are committed to making quality childcare accessible when working parents need it most.
"Finding Pawpaw Cares has been a true blessing for our family. The flexible hours fit my airport shift work, and knowing my kids are safe, challenged, and loved every day brings absolute peace of mind."
A grateful Sea-Tac parent
