Spokane Falls Community College’s School-Aged Childcare Center

Spokane Falls Community College is seeking a qualified vendor to operate a licensed, year‑round school‑aged childcare center on its campus, serving approximately 40 children with before‑school, after‑school, and full‑day care during school breaks. The contractor must hold a valid Washington State childcare license, comply with all state regulations, accept state‑subsidized payments, provide qualified staff, and manage the lease of ~3,212 sq ft of classroom/indoor recreation space. An additional requirement (Addendum 001) calls for a detailed transportation plan for moving children between the center and local schools, which can earn up to five evaluation points. The contract term runs from January 1 2027 through December 31 2031, with options to renew. • Provide licensed childcare services for ~40 school‑aged children, adhering to Washington childcare statutes (WAC 110‑301, etc.). • Deliver before‑/after‑school hours plus full‑day care during school breaks; include a robust transportation plan for morning drop‑off and afternoon pick‑up. • Operate within a 3,212 sq ft leased space (Building 17, Room 134) on the SFCC campus, maintaining required insurance, staffing ratios, and safety standards. • Submit a comprehensive proposal (budget, staffing, curriculum, insurance, references) by October 14 2026; award expected October 30 2026.
