I highly recommend this place as a mother of 2. My daughter has received excellent care & she has learned a lot. They have a lot of educational curriculum, activities to keep kids engaged. I have seen a lot of difference & progress in my daughter. All the teachers are great. Would like to recognize Miss Amye, Miss Vicky, Miss Shailaja & thank them from bottom of my heart. My daughter loves her school. Kiddie Academy of Bothell was our best decision ever. I can’t wait to send my son soon.

My daughter started at here when she was 3 months old, and we had such an amazing experience! She learned and gained so much independence, and so much social skills as well! We had such an amazing time I was so sad to leave! But I would recommend them to anyone!

School uses cameras for monitoring, provides healthy food, and offers fast follow-up and support. However,It's important for the school to work on creating a more welcoming atmosphere for all children.I give them 4 of 5 stars just because of this.

My daughter goes to preschool at Kiddie Academy. It’s been amazing as a parent watching her fall in love with going to school in a country that she has only been in for a year . All the teachers are amazing - Miss Becca , Miss Kya , Miss Sarah . Special shout out to Miss Shailaja who my daughter absolutely adores . It feels so nice when your kid comes home and tells you that she feels safe with Miss Shailaja , Miss Shailaja loves her , Miss Shailaja is her favourite teacher . Thank you Miss Shailaja for giving my daughter such wonderful childhood memories . Forever grateful .

We're thrilled with our time at Kiddie Academy Bothell! Our daughter Aria has been there for four months, and it's been amazing to see her thrive.The teachers are incredible! They're friendly, welcoming, and full of enthusiasm every day. Aria has grown so much under their care.The meals are well taken care of, with a great menu and record-keeping. Aria eats well, and we appreciate the attention to her nutrition.Aria loves the outdoor playground, both in the morning and afternoon. The teachers ensure a safe and fun experience.She's also learning fundamental knowledge and early STEM education, which has sparked her curiosity and love for learning.Not only Aria's teachers but also all stuff in Kiddie, are always helpful and responsive.We highly recommend Kiddie Academy Bothell for exceptional early education. We're looking forward to enrolling our son soon!Thank you, Kiddie Academy Bothell, for creating such a fantastic environment for our daughter's growth and learning.

I joined the waitlist for a class in June 2022 and at that time they mentioned that a spot for September 2022 might be available and I got on the waitlist. Im still on the waitlist as of May 2023, I’ve called so many times to check if there has been any movement, but I’ve gotten only vague answers. I understand it’s hard to predict waitlist movements, but that’s not what is happening here. All they do here is to get the non refundable amount from you by promising a spot and just never getting back to you.

I love kiddie academy Bothell. Both my kids went there (my 3 yr old is still there). Rebecca is a great administrator and Miss Shanny is the best. The whole team there is great really. Fun activities for kids. Lots of pics. Educational and patient. Clean, open/ spacious, organized, and well maintained. Awesome kitchen and very good food and snacks compared to other day cares. My kids grandma and grandpa are on the WatchMeGrow app all the time chuckling at my boys and what they are doing. It’s very nice of kiddie academy to have this rare feature (others just do photos, if that!)Managing expectation: kids bite in all day cares… my kid has gotten reports of others bitting them in the past 3 day-cares from Texas to Washington… I used to get really upset but then realized that’s what kids do and learn not to at that age. I glad the teacher was there to report it. Also, kids cry and throw fits and you can’t expect the teacher to pick them up all the time. Sometimes they just need to cry it out and will eventually calm down. But I will say all my two kiddie academy boys love their teachers because they are caring and my boys love hugging them. There’s teacher turnover like there is anywhere but they do good managing staffing and ratios. We’ve spent a fortune over 3 years on 2 boys at kiddie academy but it was worth it. You should check it out in person :)

I don’t recommend Kiddie Academy Bothell. We toured the Bothell campus online during the pandemic and waited for 1.5 years before enrolling in their toddler program. After two weeks of enrollment, we were so disappointed and decided to withdraw.On day 2, the teacher put the blankets on the kids during the nap time. The blanket covered my child’s head completely when he was asleep. The teacher didn’t even check them after throwing out the blankets. His head was fully covered for more than 15 minutes before a teacher uncovered him to take aphoto. The director insisted on saying that the teacher covered my child’s head intentionally due to the bright light.On day 4, the teacher put on him two winter coats (one left at the classroom, one he wore when he went to the school) before they played outside for an hour. Child got sick afterwards. I told them one coat was enough. The next day it was raining and the teacher only put on him a thin raincoat simplybecause I told them one coat is enough one day earlier. I was wondering why it was hard for them even to understand this tiny requirement. Afterwards, I had to call them and tell them to put on him 1 winter coat + 1 raincoat (not 2 winter coats, not 0 winter coat) during the outside playtime.On day 5, when playing outside he fell on the ground and had bruises on lips and chin. There was no incident report. The teacher didn’t mention it at all.On day 6, after going home my child felt uncomfortable with his eyes for several days and got pink eye.For several days, a teacher knelt down and prayed to worship her God in the classroom during nap time while some kids were awake. (I believe it’s not a religious school?) We have no problem with any religious beliefs but I would prefer to be told in advance that this would happen in the classroom.During the several days my child was at Kiddie Bothell, I had to spend lots of time watching the video to make sure all things went well. One time I saw a boy (not my child) crying miserably while walking back and forth. The teacher ignored him totally and let others kids play clapping hands game. Another time a little girl (not my child) was pulled to sit beside the garbage bin while having lunch. She sat there for a while and went to eat alone at another table.Our communication with the teacher was not helpful. I told her to give my child a book/toy when he woke up early during the nap time, but the next day he was still sitting on the bed for more than 1 hour, not knowing whether he was permitted to do anything else.They had curriculum but teachers spent limited time organizing activities. Most kids didn’t even play with each other. When my child waved at them or tried to interact with them, they just walked away.Then we decided to withdraw and not send him back to Kiddie Bothell anymore. They have good facilities, good food, lots of snacks, long hours, but still didn’t meet my standards. I would say tour the school IN PERSON and talk to the teachers before signing the contract, or otherwise you’ll probablywaste $3,000 like me.

So far so good .. one star deducted due to stupid app tadpoles they use which don’t send any real time notifications and just the summary at the eod, and academy expect parents to call every now and then to get information about their kid ..

DEPOSIT FRAUD : GET READY TO WAIT 2 YEAR +You have to pay deposit first, so they will give a unreachable estimation. I understand situations can be better or worse. But 3 month waiting list VS 2 year waiting list is unrealistic.I registered almost one year ago March 2021, their director Amber told me it should around 2021 Dec. And i called them at that time, she gave excuse and expect to this March. Now they told me maybe after September. I don't expect it will happen anymore. Amber also stopped reply my emails / calls.Infinity waiting loop, disgusting .

We feel so fortunate each and every day to have this amazing group of patient, kind, and loving educators helping to raise our baby. Ms. Jolyn is hands down the best educator I’ve ever had the honor of meeting. Not only do I feel safe leaving my child with her, I know my child feels the same. She has taught my special needs child how to write her name and feel confident navigating the classroom social norms. My daughter is fully prepared for Kindergarten. I wish she could be our daughters teacher forever. Ms. Jolyn looks at the classroom from the child’s eyes and takes every opportunity to celebrate every moment. She makes learning fun and exciting. Her energy is contagious and she puts a smile on my face every time I see her. She truly and deeply cares for every family in her classroom. She is an advocate for me and my child. Hopefully, we can stay in touch and keep her as a part of our lives. Ms. Becca is the first face I see at Kiddie Academy each day. She puts a smile on my face and is warm and inviting. She truly takes the time to listen and provides helpful feedback. She’s knowledgable, caring and helpful. Ms. Amber does an amazing job juggling all the fun events and making all the employees and families happy. She is excellent at her job and understands what it's like to be a parent. There are so many other friendly faces and educators and not enough time to address them all! Thank you Kiddie Academy Bothell! We love you!!

Kiddie Academy in Bothell has been great for my kid. It is a warm and welcoming environment and my kid is always happy when I pick him up at the end of the day. His teacher is absolutely wonderful too!
