Many people came to the Seattle area during World War II to work in the shipyards and other war industries. Some of these men and women lived at the High Point housing project in West Seattle. Child care was a problem for working mothers. Many of High Point's young children were looked after at the community's child care center.

This April 1944 photo shows Mrs. Elice Wamser and a group of children on the playground at the High Point child care center in West Seattle.
