Tri-Cities Daycare

In the interest of full disclosure, I have to break ranks with mothers everywhere and confess that the first time I dropped my son off at daycare when he was 13- weeks-old, I did not cry or worry or wring my hands.  I had only been a mom for three months, and the women taking care of my boy had been moms/grandmothers for YEARS.  Surely they knew what they were doing, I thought.  I knew that I barely had a clue.

Time went on, I had another child, and both wound up at Kid’s World Childcare in West Richland.  And now I must also admit that I thought the daycare should pay me for the honor of watching my children for the day.  Surprisingly, this didn’t catch on with the owner.

Fast forward a few years and my kids are in school, so daycare is not an issue for us.  BUT, it is for clients moving to the area.  An agent wrote all of us in the office the following e-mail a few weeks ago –

Good Morning~
I have a couple with a young child moving here from out of state.  Having no small children, I am seeking quality daycare providers in Richland for their child. Does anyone have a recommendation they would like to pass along?
Please email or call me with the name of such. Thank you. Have a great week.

I immediately responded –

Kid’s World Childcare is where I sent both of the amazing and talented and intelligent McGee children.They have a Richland location…but I sent mine to the West Richland location, plus they’re in Pasco, too.

A few day later the agent stopped me to tell me that her clients loved Kid’s World and their offspring is on the waiting list.  They had apparently visited five different places, and walked in and immediately out of three of them.  Kid’s World was their #1 pick.

It’s good to know that where I sent my kids is still a favorite option for others.

My husband and I came to the Tri-Cities in 1994, and we thought it would be a temporary stop on our way to larger cities. He was a television sports anchor at the time, and we planned to go wherever the "next step up" took us. Twenty-plus years later, we're still here and we've loved every minute of it! We have two children now, and we've found the Tri-Cities area is a wonderful place to raise a family. It's a great place to do outdoorsy things -- I like to hike Badger Mountain or run along the river path. I also love reading ... by a cozy fire in the winter or a beautiful picture window in the summer (with the A/C on!). I've been a licensed Realtor since 2004. I earned my managing broker's license in 2016, which means I can run my own brokerage, or create a team of real estate agents and supervise them, which is exactly what I did when I formed the Cari McGee Real Estate Team in 2018! We have administrative and marketing personnel, as well as additional agents to serve you. I became a director of the Tri-Cities Association of Realtors Board of Directors in 2016, became Secretary/Treasurer of the organization, and was elected to Vice President in 2019.
