She is exceptional at…read morewhat she does and if you're looking for a seamless nanny search process to find a well-qualified "best in class" nanny, A Nanny for U is really the only option in town. Her process to interview and find qualified nannies that are the right fit for you family shows in the quality of candidates she puts forward. I'm honestly so shocked to read a couple of the other reviews that seem almost planted by competitors or something - she's so good! She just sourced another nanny for us after our first nanny is moving on to start her own family and a real estate career. The bond she formed with our son has been truly special - and we would have never found her if it were not for Rebecca. We've also used A Nanny for U for temp nannies when our permanent nanny is out sick or on vacation. She has sent us incredible care professionals - most that are students going to nursing school or have child care or early education backgrounds. INCREDIBLE. Her process is very direct which i appreciate - she asks our family a bunch of questions about our lives, what are dealbreakers, what are musts -- all professionally and i think that process helps her find the right fit for our family. Her team helps with reference and background checks and all the leg work that honestly as a full-time professional i don't have time to do myself. I've had friends that have tried to cut corners and go through Facebook Nanny pages or Care.com (ew) and have had truly awful experiences and have gone through multiple nannies and daycare situations. Additionally, Rebecca and her team have always been available to me over the past 2 years to answer questions on raises and bonuses, benefits, and contracts. They were prompt and always professional -- i never felt that as soon as they got their placement fee they weren't there for me as a client. They truly care about the families they serve. Yes - it is expensive. It's worth every penny - this is a company that is sourcing someone to care for your CHILD. Make the investment and hire A Nanny For U - as a mother, it was one of the best choices I've made for our family.

Unprofessional and Inappropriate Customer Service - Avoid This Company…read more I recently moved to the area and was looking for reliable childcare, so I called this company to learn more about their services. Since I had never heard of them before, I asked basic questions--do they match families with nannies? Do they facilitate interviews? Do they have a database of caregivers? Instead of receiving helpful information, I was met with an unprofessional and downright inappropriate response. Rebecca, the person I spoke with, questioned whether I was soliciting--a completely absurd and offensive assumption. I was simply a parent seeking childcare, and her comment made me feel as though I was asking for something inappropriate. It was not only disrespectful but also incredibly unprofessional. If this is the level of communication they provide to potential clients, I would never trust them to handle something as important as finding care for my children. Rebecca is clearly in the wrong line of work if she lacks the basic customer service skills to handle simple inquiries. For any parents looking for a trustworthy, professional nanny service, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. A business that treats families this way is not one you want to rely on for childcare.

It was bittersweet moving to a big kid daycare closer to us, but we would recommend Kathy to anyone. She made a very positive impression on our little girl! Kathy's home is always so clean, tidy and organized. All of the kids have their own cubby, and there is an iPad for parents to check-in and check-out. There are always new/fresh toys and play sets available. The outside yard is so cute with lots of toys for outdoor play. Kathy is always coming up with weekly learning themes and art projects.

I can tell you, it's the best decision we made for our son. Not only does he love seeing Kathy, but the kids there are a great combination of ages - almost like Montessori!

He knows sounds of animals, cars, etc. He cleans up after himself, throws things in the trash, and so much more. I can tell that Kathy and Miranda work with him and the other kids teach him, too. We are so glad we found Kathy and Miranda. They've been such a huge blessing to our family.

My son has been with LPW-Bellevue since he was 4.5mo old and flash forward 5.5 years, he just had…read morehis last day this past week to start kindergarten! There are so many wonderful things to say about LPW-B but first and foremost will always be the dedication of the teachers and staff to the kiddos. Many teachers have been there for over 10 years and that certainly speaks to their love for the job and how they are treated by the administration (just ask anyone in childcare, esp. from a larger chain). They're also very accommodating to your child's needs -- my son has many food allergies and also requires the use of a feeding tube. The teachers & admin had zero qualms about providing him with his tubes feeds (twice daily at specific times). This was a huge relief as first time parents who really struggled getting the appropriate nutrition to their kiddo and then had to worry about food allergies and whether or not medical accommodations could be made. Finally, the monthly tuition is incredibly affordable. For both of my children, the monthly tuition is equivalent to my friend's one child at one of the nearby larger chains. The only "negative" I will mention is that if you really like the idea of having real-time updates via an app, LPW-B is more like your traditional elementary school where you'll get an update at the end of the day.

Every evening when we pick him up from the daycare, he always has this big smile on his face and we know he has a great day. The teachers are truly kind and caring. As first time parents, we have so many questions about his development (like starting solids, learning to use sippy cups etc.). The teachers are always so helpful and patient to address our concerns and provide recommendations. Special thanks to Director Ms. Lizette, Ms. Ana R and Ms. Ana S - they've provided us with great help for my boy's transition in different stages! I also want to special thank Shelley from LPW billing department! I encountered several payment setup and Dependent HSA claim issues in the past, and Shelley was such a great help. She's responsive and wonderful to work with, and all the issues got resolved in just a few days. LPW is like a part of our family whom we can count on getting the support we need when we need them. Thank you!

My daughter, now 3.5 yrs., has attended the Sammamish Kindercare since she was 9 months old and I…read morecould not say enough about the center director, assistant director, or teachers / staff. When she started in the infant classroom, Ms. Tammy immediately connected with my daughter. She's such a loving and calm teacher. She's still super close to my little one even though she's in the preschool class. When my daughter joined the toddler and discovery preschool classes, she also had great experiences. The teachers were loving, yet also firm when needed and helped reinforce many of the skills being taught at home. She especially loved Ms, Jennifer (now the center's Asst. Director). Every single day my daughter looked forward giving her a big hug upon arrival. Ms. Ella was equally as special to my little one. We are also very familiar with Ms.Charu, Ritu, and Artuneta. The teachers really work well together to provide the best care daily. The activities are also very engaging. Now my daughter is in the preschool classroom and is being prepared for pre-k nicely. She attends a wonderful phonics class 2x weekly with Ms. Tanzy. Hands down this class has enhanced her letter recognition and writing skills. She's even starting to read words. Ms. Antura, her preschool teacher, incorporates very interactive lessons they keep the kids' attention. I'm 100% certain my daughter will be more than ready for kindergarten when the time comes because of the love and care provided to our daughter and family. Last, Ms. Seema, is the absolute best center director I've ever met. She is very organized, kind, has always been willing to discuss questions or concerns, etc. She is truly a director that's immersed in the activities taking place at the center. I'm just so thankful for Sammamish KinderCare's and would recommend it to any parent looking for a place to care for their child.

How do I explain my love for Blossoms and Becky? Let's start at the beginning!! We heard about…read moreBlossoms through friends of ours who had their son and daughter there and so we enrolled our kids as well. We've been there for two years on and off. The "off" part because we moved and it became really far for us to come here. Blossoms, in my opinion, is everything you want in a childcare center for young children. I worry that children these days are being pushed to grow up too quickly, and academics are pushed too heavily on children. When looking for childcare for my children, I don't want someone teaching them how to do calculus when they're three years old I would much rather have someone focus on giving my son the love that I'm not able to when I'm working. I want him to have socialization and I want him to be able to do fun activities with other children. And Blossoms is all of that. These factors are far more important than academics! In addition, it's a family environment; the chef and some of the daycare workers are related and it shows me how valued a family environment is. Our son, more than a year ago, was in Colton's class and now Colton is headteacher and I don't have enough words to say how amazing that is. Colton is a kind, loving individual and deserves accolades for being such a good human being. Mariya, one of the other teachers, is also just a beautiful human being. My 3yo asked to be in her class even though she watched the younger kids mostly; he just gravitates to her kind nature. Becky, the director, isn't just invested in your child's schooling; she's invested in the big picture which is psychosocial and emotional growth. Do yourselves and your children a favor and send them here.

Update: several minutes after my review the owner of the daycare sent messages to parents pleading…read morewith them to save blossoms reputation by posting a review here. This is how Yelp works apparently. Use caution and investigate reviews, the good and the bad. It pains me to write a negative review because the first year our daughter was at Blossoms was great. But these last few months we've had a terrible experience and have recently heard some alarming stuff from other parents. I received a text from the owner Becky, informing us that our daughter is no longer welcome at her daycare because of a "threatening" message I sent to Joslyn and her staff. I have attached the message for all to see. What prompted such a message to her teachers and the owner? First, we received less than 24 hours' notice that our daughter's class was moving to a different building. We were told the space would be bigger and the kids would be happier. Awesome, we can roll with this. But two weeks later we discovered from Facebook photos that our daughter was moved to a different classroom without our knowledge. Prior to us realizing she had been moved, she would come home upset and we had no idea why. She said, "school was scary, there were too many new teachers and kids." We then messaged her school asking for clarity. They flippantly told us she had indeed been moved 2 months ago (which was also untrue) but she is still with the same teachers and students. After further investigation, we realized this was far from the truth. We had been telling our daughter for weeks, it's fine, you're just in a new building. They lied to us again and again. Her teacher refused to meet with us because we were "bullying" her. We are upset parents and asked very directly what was going on. We never received a clear explanation as to why she was moved. Becky the owner again and again said it was because of licensing. Here teacher Joslyn reassured us everything was fine after 2 inquiries about our daughters well-being after the move. It was only after I saw FB posts of our child in a diff class that she revealed that yes, our child was indeed moved to a diff class...2 months ago. Which was also false. After reaching out to other parents, we learned other disturbing facts. Communication completely stopped for weeks not only with us but other parents. We've been called bullies for demanding the truth. Becky repeatedly told us that she is not about academics and that her school is really in the business for drug prevention, whatever that means. Becky and Joslyn are all smiles but when it comes down to the true nature of their business, that's all it is. Profit and business. It's sad that we were treated like this. We know how hard the teachers work. Becky's unprofessional and unethical approach to her business harms not only the kids and families but also her staff.

We have been so blessed to experience this community. I can not say enough amazing things about…read morethis center and how much they have done and will continue to do in the lives of little ones and families they serve. I have four children who have attended their center, and one who is still currently there. Staff is consistent and they don't seem to have a turnover at all. Which has made transitions from classroom to classroom comfortable and easy for both my little ones and I. Amy keeps a clean center and genuinely cares about not only the kids but the families as well. She follows state guidelines and procedures to make sure that the best care is being given at all times. Her staff is full of joy and you can see she carefully picked them with care so that every child is getting their needs met and nurtured at her center. They communicate with families consistently so that any concerns, milestones, and exciting things are known to the families in the program. They have field trips during the summer for the older classes to help keep the summer exciting and engaging when us parents are still needing to work and might not be able to do all of these things outside of the weekend. My children go in excited to see not only their friends but the staff that cares for them. My older children that go during the summer for care miss them over the school year and are eager to go back and see Ms. Amy and her staff. I could go on and on about how much this center has blessed us and how it has surpassed any experience I have had with childcare in my ten years of parenting, but I know it will be seen and felt by anyone who enters the doors. If you are trying to decide on a center where you will have a piece of mind that your children are safe, loved, nurtured, and being prepared for kindergarten this is the place for you.
