GLOW Children Early Learning Center

Glow Children Early Learning Center was founded alongside Lumen High School in 2020 (what a time) to support student/parents as they worked toward completing their high school diplomas. Our founder quickly recognized that the need for high-quality, supportive childcare extended far beyond the school’s walls.

Today, Glow has expanded to serve not only students at Lumen but families throughout Spokane County—accessible with just one bus ride away.

We proudly support a diverse community of families, including teen parents and families navigating challenges such as special needs, CPS involvement, language barriers, and complex parenting plans. About 90% of the families we serve receive Working Connections Child Care, which means we must raise funds to cover the remaining 30% of our operating budget in order to continue providing high-quality care.

At Glow, we remove barriers so families can focus on stability and growth. While children are in our care, all essentials are provided, including diapers, wipes, formula, and nutritious meals families don’t need to bring anything.

We also provide wraparound support for both families and educators, including:

• Teacher mentoring and professional development
• Family navigation services
• Onsite monthly Nurse
• Tiny Teeth express
• Ot/pt/speech services available to be on site
• Community outreach and connection to resources

Our goal is simple but powerful: to create a place where children and families feel supported, valued, and able to thrive.
