About Abida's Home Child Care
Your Child Is in Great Hands
Welcome to Our Family
Abida's Home Child Care was established in 2008 by Mohammad Arif and Abida Arif with a heartfelt mission: to support the growing Lynnwood community by offering a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment for children.
Known affectionately as "Kaka," Arif and his wife Abida quickly earned a reputation for their warm, gentle demeanor and deep commitment to the families they serve. Their child care became known not only for its affordability and safety, but also for its community-centered values and genuine care—reflecting their passion for creating a home-like setting where every child can thrive.
Our Mission
At Abida's Home Child Care, our mission is to nurture each child in a safe, supportive, and culturally rich environment where they feel seen, valued, and inspired. Rooted in more than a decade of service to the Lynnwood community, we celebrate diversity through language, relationships, and personalized care.
We strive to ignite a lifelong love of learning, foster emotional growth, and empower every child to discover their unique potential.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every child—regardless of background or ability—has access to nurturing care that celebrates who they are. At Abida's, we aim to lead by example in home-based early education by fostering kindness, resilience, and curiosity.
Through compassion and commitment, we hope to raise a generation of thoughtful, confident, and culturally aware young leaders who are ready to contribute meaningfully to the world.
