CDSA is pleased to be able to offer you childcare on site at Montlake Elementary School. The before and after school program is housed in a portable outside of the main building. It is designated childcare space located in portable number one on the school playground across from the cafeteria. We are also fortunate to have use of the school gym, library and cafeteria and often visit the Arboretum near the school.
