About

I wanted to have my own in-home since 2006. It finally came to life in 2020.  KNP is licensed through DCYF for 10 children with two spaces permanently taken by my own children. KNP is a participant of Early Achievers, not yet rated. KNP accepts DSHS and Cowlitz Tribe subsidies.  
KNP is located in NE Vancouver off 4th Plain between Ward and 162nd.

Due to privacy concerns, the actual address is not provided online.

-Owner-

I am Helen Dashiell and I am the owner and operator of KNP.  After my high school years of babysitting, I started as a preschool assistant in 2004. Since then I worked my way up to being a Director in childcare.  Center life was no longer for me! My husband, Dave, and I have two amazing children, a school-ager and a preschooler, and a dog.  I remain current in all licensing requirements--a passed background check, CPR, First Aid, Mandated Reporting, annual STARS training, Blood Borne Pathogens & Food Handlers permit.  Dave has his cleared background check as well. 
 

I have a BA in Human Services from Western Washington University.
