    We just love this school. can't say enough good things about it. Storm and Kelsey are phenomenal…read moreeducators. Our 2 sons currently attend and they both love going to school. Why we love it: 1. We are big believers of the montessori method and Storm is the real deal when it comes to Montessori. It's clear when you walk into the classroom but also in how she communicates with the kids. 2. Small class size - we really wanted a calm environment and find that our boys thrive in it. 3. Outside time - we love that they are in a yard surrounded by flowers/trees/nature. They get to participate in planting (which they love!). Storm has a very sweet/calm dog and we were nervous about it at first because both boys weren't comfortable with dogs. Now, they love to greet any dog that passes them! The exposure got them not only comfortable but actually interested in dogs. We also love that the arrangement of the backyard really inspires imaginative play (as opposed to purely physical activities). 4. We love getting all of their "work" on a weekly basis. We get folders of art/craft projects, writing projects, etc every single week. 5. Academically, our 4 yr old is starting to read and write (and most importantly, is genuinely interested in learning). 6. I love that they have responsibilities at school (helper jobs). They get super excited about them and are learning basic life skills (like folding towels). We HIGHLY recommend it and are so very thankful to have found them!!!

Storm, who has 25 plus experience, knows and cares about each and every student. She promotes politeness and friendliness within the classroom, as well as curiosity. Many students leave the preschool reading as well as having an understanding of math. It truly is a gem. My daughter loves school.

Why would we hide anything that would affect my child. I am attaching here the message I sent to Shantha on February 8th 2022, explaining about Nursemaid elbow, Neel started this facility from February 7th 2022. We have verbally mentioned it as well. Our fees check was en cashed on 7th June and told us to not send him to the daycare on June 10th at 3:07 PM, you can do the math. I have records to prove each of my statements I wrote in the review, so if anybody's statements are defamatory, those are Shantha's.

    My daughter started at Orion when she was 3 years old.

Also impressive was the effort she puts in for all the kids there. I could see the advancement in my daughter pretty quickly, she started putting together words and soon was reading smaller books. The curriculum is not limited to reading and writing but covers diverse topics on science, math, geography, Spanish and so on and is taught in a way that's easily grasped by these young tots. Even during the pandemic, Shantha took every effort to keep the teaching moving along via online classes with a similar curriculum. I highly recommend this school.

    We are incredibly grateful for the care and education our daughter received from Claudia…read more One of the biggest improvements we saw was in her English. When she first started, she faced a language barrier, but with Claudia's patience, encouragement, and support, she gained confidence and made remarkable progress. She also learned advanced math concepts that gave her a strong foundation and boosted her confidence when she entered school. Claudia is a very caring, patient, and dedicated caregiver. Not only is she wonderful with children, but she is also excellent at communicating with parents. Claudia always kept us informed, and we felt completely comfortable in her care every day. Another thing we appreciated was the variety of activities Claudia organized. I can see her students were always engaged, happy, and excited to participate. The daycare also created a wonderful sense of community--we made lasting friendships with other parents, which has been an amazing bonus for our family. We highly recommend Claudia to any family looking for a nurturing, educational, and supportive daycare environment.

    Are you looking to give your child the best start in life?…read more I highly recommend Play Academy. Teacher Claudia understands that when it comes to your child's education, only the best will do. That is why she provides a holistic approach that brings together rigorous academics and engaging activities for children. My son is attending Play Academy and he is learning a lot. He is doing an excellent job learning social-emotional skills, English, expressing herself, motor skills, kindergarten readiness, and self-help skills. He is very happy going to school and he exceeded state standards. Please contact Play Academy today by scheduling a tour.

    We had really high hopes for the school as Ms. Hansen, the school director, is clearly invested in…read morethe Montessori method and has been practicing for decades. The school is set in a lovely natural settings and the class sizes are small. Unfortunately, we experienced several major challenges this school year and have opted to transfer our daughter to a new school year because of them. Communication is poor. The Kirkland campus does not have a dedicated administrative assistant. All communication goes through the admin assistant at the Bellevue campus and then to the teachers at Kirkland. While there is a dedicated email address for each classroom, teachers do not check or reply to messages. And since there is no communication at pick up and drop off, there is no way to communicate with the teachers other than the two conferences throughout the school year. If an emergency arises, you will need to call the Bellevue campus and hope that someone answers the phone and is able to relay the message to the Kirkland campus. The school does not enforce its own sick policy. Students who showed up with snot streaming down their faces and persistent, barking coughs were allowed to remain in class. Our daughter missed more than six weeks of school because of this negligence. We had multiple conversations with the school director, and things would get better for a week and then return to their norm. In contrast, during our daughter's first year of preschool (at another school) she was sick once the entire year. We were not happy with some of the language our daughter picked up from the teachers. She began using the work "guys" frequently shortly after the beginning of the school year. She also learned a song with the lyrics "the little one stops to pray to heaven." Bullying on the playground was not address. There were two older boys in class who frequently put children 'in jail" and would not allow them to play on the playground (as reported by our child and several other parents). They also would not let the children play with certain toys on the playground. Bullying should never be tolerated and needs to be shut down asap. This year's class was incredibly young (many kids in diapers that could not talk, toddlers with snot streaming down their faces, etc.) and it made the school feel like a daycare. Our experience did not align with the price of tuition nor the experience we were sold. Bottom line, there are better Montessori options in the greater Kirkland area.

Since then, he's been at Primrose, now 7 months old, and he's been so happy and healthy. I can't begin to explain the night and day difference and our appreciation. His teachers are all wonderful and kind, they listen to my concerns, they keep him engaged and happy during the day, and even though he only attends 4 days a week, we can tell how content he is when we drop him off every Monday. Shout out to Ms. Light and Ms. Ghafari! During pick up, he always has so many things to babble, which is his sign of a good mood. In his past daycare, he would be returned to us with a puffy face, completely silent, and rashes all over his face. I think if you're looking for an infant care facility that goes above and beyond, actually understands infant development, and knows how to listen to baby's cues...this is definitely the place for your child's care. If you have the privilege to consider the tuition, which we found to be very fair, we highly recommend PSWB.
