Paperwork and registration was very professional and straight forward and they kept us updated with any issues through out the day as well as plenty of pictures showing what our son was enjoying that day. They truly show through their daily interactions with each child that they care about each one individually. The only reason we are leaving is being restationed out of state.

The location is not my favorite but it's cleaner inside than many others I have toured. Pulling back out onto Evergreen Way can be challenging, but you can drive through the back to get out too. I was able to find a daycare closer to home but will definitely return here in the future if things don't work out.

Liz always responded to all of my emails within one business day (Usually same day), and they use an app called Brightwheel that the staff use to communicate for all things school-related. I was so apprehensive since this was my first time sending my child off to spend some time without me, but everyone was so amazing and I loved all the updates on what my kid was up to throughout the day via the app. They made sure to send me extra pictures on his first day, which was so sweet. My son has a speech delay and he came home after 2 days singing the alphabet and counting to ten. It was amazing. Their prices were competitive and availability/flexibility was unmatched. Everyone was so kind and the kids have plenty of room to play outside while also being kept safe.

We have had our two boys at this daycare/preschool/pre-K for nearly 3 years. They have been great…read moreto work with over the years and I feel like the teachers and directors really care about the kids. Each age group has their own classroom and multiple teachers so the kids are with peers their own age. They are very engaging with many different activities throughout the day/week/month to keep the kids happy, busy, active and always learning or doing something new. They provide quality food with a lot of variety and a good, healthy balance. There is a nice outdoor play area (partially undercover) that also gets natural shade during the hottest part of the day. Recently they started using a cool app for faculty and parents only which allows them to provide updates throughout the day - everything from what the kids are doing to what they are eating and (opt-in if you want) photos of your kids! It's nice to feel connected during the day even though we're away from our kiddos while working. They have an iPad at pickup and drop-off where you can use a QR code on your phone to check your child in or out "hands-free" which is very helpful these days. They do everything by the book from class size ratios to sunscreen authorization forms, you name it, they adhere to state and local policies. Tuition usually goes up once annually but that is typical with rising costs of everything, living wage increases and food costs in WA state. I'm so glad we found this awesome preschool when we did.

I'm deeply disappointed and honestly disgusted by the Everett YMCA's lack of compassion. This…read moreorganization loves to advertise itself as being about community, inclusion, and caring for others--but when given a real opportunity to live those values, you failed completely. My daughter's partner was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and given a prognosis of 6-12 months. He is currently on SSI disability since he can no longer work so his income is very limited, and asked about a free membership, and the answer was a flat no. Just policy over people. For an organization that claims to be community-focused, that response was shocking and unexpected. He is facing overwhelming physical, emotional, and financial stress. Something as simple as access to a supportive, healthy environment could make a meaningful difference--yet the Everett YMCA chose bureaucracy over basic human decency. If this is how you treat people at their most vulnerable, then all the talk about "healthy living," and "social responsibility" is just marketing fluff.

My son was 2.5 and my daughter was 6 months old. Since this was their first time in daycare, they inevitably got sick all the time! But this is to be expected anywhere. Discovery Childcare was clean, safe and well managed. Both kids loved attending. They were pretty good about updating the app and sending photos and activity reports. The staff was friendly, and went out of their way to make sure the kids were happy and healthy. When they were sick and had to stay home, they always asked me how the kids were doing. They have lots of toys and activities, and a fun outdoor area for recess. While they would benefit from a swing set / better play area, but my son loved going to preschool and would even ask to go on the weekends! My daughter felt safe there, and the staff treated her like their own. Often times I would walk in and the lobby would smell like fresh baked cookies. From the outside it may not look like much, but these are good people, and I highly recommend.
