“I learned so much at the barista academy! Paulo and Bob are so insightful and have years of knowledge! They hold back nothing when it comes to the coffee game. If your interested in coffee/business, this is the place you need to be learning.”

“My son enjoyed learning piano in a group class (5-6 children) at DoReMi this last year. We were not on the waitlist long before a new class started. He had skilled and kind teachers who communicated any suggestions to me regarding his technique and study habits. Also, the owner is lovely. DoReMi genuinely loves teaching children about music, and it shows. We’ll be back!”

“My daughter feels happy to go to school. As a mom, that’s my biggest motivation and measure of accomplishment. Goddard, the staff and the teachers are doing a great job in helping the students feel comfortable, confident and safe.”

“I’ve been involved with this school for almost 2 years and it’s such a great choice. Each teacher is kind, welcoming, and works so hard to make sure each child is cared after. They are flexible and work with schedules very well. The whole staff is easy to talk to and overall, it is an organized environment. They use positive reinforcement and balance that with praise for your kids. Everyone communicates so well with parents/guardians and in a timely manner! Each classroom has lots of fun toys and the playground offers plenty of space to play with friends and roam around riding bikes! They invest in your family and they offer your kid a fantastic service of childcare and education. Sundance is one of the best schools around for these age groups!”

“I am so glad we booked the Dizzybus to come to my daughters birthday! She bus arrived promptly at the scheduled time and the kids all screamed, "THE BUS IS HERE!!!!". There were kids ranging from 2-10 years old at our party and there was plenty for all the kids to do. It was adorable to see the kids show off their gold medals at the end. I'll definitely recommend the Dizzybus to all of my friends. I hope to have the opportunity to book it again!”

“We use Bright Horizons at Belltown for back-up daycare when we are in town for work. Our baby boy thrives there and has no trouble adjusting. The administration and the teachers are incredibly passionate, knowledgable, and kind. I recommend BH Belltown to everyone I know in Seattle.”

“I’ve been a ukulele student with Seattle Drum School for several years. It’s awesome to have a coach that meets me where I’m at. The SDS is a welcoming community for all.”

“My two children had been well taken care of at this facility for over 5 years until we had to move away. The staff truly cared about the children and they took great photos throughout the day to update the parents. This is something I took for granted until I'm now at a different daycare where standards are just not the same.”

“We moved to Washington from Hawaii in 2022 while I was 20 weeks pregnant with my third child. The first preschool that we chose for our then 3 year old was not a pleasant experience. I learned that I had to do more of my own due diligence before choosing the next school.Let me just say that I really felt like we struck gold with Pixie Hill. I am VERY grateful for the wonderful teachers (Ms Ashley, Ms Rebecca and Ms Bailey) at Pixie. It is because of them that my son has had such an enjoyable experience this last year. He asks us every day at pick up if he can stay at school longer, and even on the weekends - he looks forward to Mondays (cant say I feel the same haha).One thing that really sold me before we ever got to visit the school was the large back yard/play area, and knowing that the kiddos would be spending time outside everyday (rain or shine). The extra bonus is the location--not only is it accessible to Mercer Island families, but also convenient for families in Seattle and Bellevue.Wish we had more time at Pixie, but looking forward to when my youngest will be able to attend.”

“I'm a parent that has come from a daycare in tender years in Auburn, where I did not have a good experience for my son being in his first daycare, but kinder years his experience here just starting has been magnificent. All the teachers are great and my son has been doing so much better since he started at this daycare and the one thing I really love about this daycare center is that they have a app to keep you updated on your children at all times when they get changed when they eat if any incident happens, you get notified on your phone on the app all in all I'm having a great experience with this daycare center and my son is too. Along with having past experience with KinderCare, my other child did great in KinderCare system as well.Thank you everyone at KinderCare for making our experience way better than our first and a special shout out to all the teachers at the Auburn kinder!”

“As a family who received quality early head start 25+ years ago, it is an honor for me to return as a part of the Denise Louie Education Center (DLEC) team where the same passion and commitment continues in promoting school and life readiness through multicultural early learning services to families like mines across king county.I was once shared that when you find passion in your work, you don't work another day in your life. I enjoy coming in everyday where it's not just what you do that matters, but also who you are and how you aspire grow is important too.”

“We have loved KidsCentre and the infant room, where my son has gone since he was 4 months old. All of the teachers are so wonderful and really caring, and they helped me feel comfortable sending my baby to daycare while I'm at work. We're relocating so he won't be joining the Waddler room when he turns 1, but I couldn't have asked for a better childcare center for my son's first year. They really set a high bar for future care!”

“We needed back-up care for 2 days for my 6 month old and this Childtime was amazing. They were incredibly flexible with my schedule, and even though we were only going to be there for two days they treated me and my baby like we were regulars. I am so grateful for them and the fabulous care they provided to both me and my little one.”

“Both of our kids have been in Petrovitsky KinderCare since they turned 1 year old. We have been with them for about 4 years now and we couldn’t rely in another place to care for our precious sons. They are really reliable, helped us go through COVID years like champs! The teachers are professional and caring. There are full time teachers and then the wonderful assistants. There is an environment of support among staff. We communicate via text or email, I see pictures everyday of what is happening in the classroom and curriculum updates every month. They also have summer camps and run fun activities for kids. Good learning and fun for the kids. Kudos to: Director Tammy Johnson for a great staff, Tara who is always helping parents and staff. Ms. Rainjiel, Ms. Marissa, Ms. Katie, Ms. Monica, and all the staff. Thank you for all you do!”

“One of the best public schools I have been to in a very long time.Meadowcrest has done wo ders with our non biological kiddos who are dealing with alot due to their circumstances. The teachers all seem to care and really are invested in seeing the kids improve, learn and grow. The headscarf program is invaluable and the supportive services team has been great.Covid protocol was a bit extra, but understandable at that time.The pick up situation is kind of crazy because of all the different start times. Outside of that this place is great.”

“As a new first time mom, I was so nervous about having to send my then-5 month old baby to start daycare. But I have been so happy with his teachers, who are both so kind, patient and attentive to him. They give him all the love he needs while I'm away at work and keeps him occupied with different toys and activities every day. I am so appreciative that Ms. Jan especially works with me on his ever-changing needs all the time and sends me updates of everything he's doing throughout the day, putting my mind at ease. My son is always happy at drop off to go into Ms. Jan's arms and start his "school" day. It makes me feel very good about having to leave him when I know he will be learning new skills, trying new foods, and be well loved and taken care of during the day.”

“My toddler goes to SELC Admiral 1 and we LOVE it. Mirna and Paloma in the toddler room are the most wonderful teachers we could hope for. They care for our toddler like he is one of their own. It is such a relief to know that he enjoys going there every day and that he is well cared for. The teachers are also great at communicating what he did each day and how he is doing. Finding the right daycare is stressful and I am so glad we chose SELC Early Learning Center Admiral 1.”

“My son has been with them for a month and it has been great. He doesnt adjust well to new people but here it took less then a week which is incredible since the last place took 9 months. The rates are fair and even discounted for emergency time away. The staff are friendly and take time to really learn the kids. Always a smile and hello to the kids and parents. If you are looking for a great daycare this is the place for youa”

“My family has been apart of this center since my oldest was a toddler. I absolutely love this center and the staff here. The director and assistant director are very communicative and helpful with every interaction I have had with them. The staff members from infant to their school aged staff have been absolutely wonderful. They supported my oldest while she had a difficult time with drop offs in the morning, encouraged her to explore, and make new friends. They are current partners when it comes to problem solving my youngest refusing a bottle through out the day.I am very grateful for everyone at this center. I am sad to see my oldest leaving this center as she and my family have had a wonderful time with her time here. In the meantime, I love that I still have a few more years here.”

“We have had a wonderful experience at Factoria KinderCare! The teachers are all so kind, loving, and attentive. They all seem like they genuinely like and care about all of the children. They have a monthly curriculum (even for the infant room!) And post regular pictures of all of their adventures which is so fun. The director and assistant director are FABULOUS! You know they actually care when you go pick up your little one and the director is sitting on the floor playing with 3 of the babies. It has been an amazing experience so far and we highly recommend this team and location.”

“Our family has been with the school for 3 years. The Head of the School is a loving, sophisticated, and passionate leader, and you will know from the first time meeting her that she loves educating young minds. We love this school because it has a strong academic, leadership, and character development focus. I have found the parent community to be warm and supportive. Diversity is truly celebrated, and we love being a part of this community.”

“Definitely ?! Amazing teachers with so much caring mindset. The management is reasonable and flexible to accommodate special requests. It is really committed to providing a fun and loving environment for our kids and we are very thankful. Tuition is reasonable and the program is great. The building is clean and spacious. The meal plan is well thought out and nutritious. It is such a relief for busy parents like us because most of the other daycare facilities' meals are not included. The program offers Spanish classes which my son enjoys very much. He sings Spanish songs all the time and we cannot be happier about his Spanish language skills. I highly recommend this place!”

“My daughter started attending this school at just 7 months old, and now, as she approaches 3.5 years old, she has grown to love this place and her teachers deeply. I am consistently amazed by my daughter's growth at primrose. She comes home with new stories, songs, and improved writing and drawing skills. She can even recognize most of the teachers, staff, and leadership team from the staff website, even those who don't directly teach her. Everyone at this school is incredibly kind and warmly welcomes each child whenever they see them.We are deeply grateful for the dedication and care provided by the school's leadership, teachers, and staff over the years.”

“5 stars! This daycare isn't just a place to drop off your little one, it's a second home filled with love, learning, and joy. Where do I even begin?We were nervous first-time parents new to town and they welcomed us with open arms, explained everything clearly, and made us feel like our daughter was joining a family.The teachers are incredible. They're not just caregivers, they're nurturers, educators, and friends. They shower each child with attention, take the time to understand their individual needs, and make them feel seen and valued. I trust them completely with my daughter's well-being, and that's saying something!My daughter comes home every day with stories about new friends, exciting activities, and a smile that lights up the room. It's amazing to see her confidence and happiness blossom.The heart of it all? Ms. Abby, the director. She's a nurturing leader who radiates warmth and care, both for the children and her staff. Her passion for early childhood development is contagious, and it shows in every aspect of the daycare.If you're looking for a daycare that's more than just a place to park your kids, this is it. It's a true gem.”

“We love Lil' People's World! Teachers are so kind , professional and always willing to help. For example, they did a really good job helping us to potty train our child (we are forever grateful for that!). Kids do a lot of crafts daily and it is very good for fine motor skills (and it’s cute).Having prepared meals there is also a big advantage , that saves parents time and our kid started eating things he usually refused at home.We are so happy to be a part of this warm community of people, the most important- we trust them.”

“Our child has attended for 2+ years and loves the teachers and their classmates. The directors and teachers are professional, communicate well and address any concerns proactively. Love seeing all the kids art in the walls and getting updates on the app throughout the day, too!”

“We transferred our 1 and 4 year old to Kre8tive Kidz and I am so happy we did! The quality of care and communication we receive is wonderful. Our kids love it, and the teachers are warm and caring. They go out of their way and host parent/teacher conferences and the level of detail we received at our first conference I was blown away by. They tracked what my daughter was learning, how she was learning, where she was advancing, and where they were helping her. It is scary finding the right care for your kids, but we are so thankful we found this place. Oh yeah, and they have an after-school program!”
