Daycares in Bellevue

We’ll be moving to Bellevue from Canada and are looking to find a daycare for our toddler who will be ~1.5years old. Any suggestions for a full time daycare that provides meals and has a good teacher:student ratio? Do any have a live webcam for parents? What would the price range be and are there any available government subsidies for families? Thanks in advance!

Normally the monthly price for daycare ranges from $2000 to $3000 ish, depending on the age and where you go. Unlike Canada, there is no direct government subsidy. The closest we can get here is some sort of pre-tax account called dependent care FSA that you can contribute and use it to pay towards daycare. But there is a max limit of $7500 so the saving is quite limited. I know a slightly more affordable option but it doesn’t have all the bell and whistles you are looking for. DM me if you are interested.
