St. Lukes came highly recommended from a coworker that has deep roots in Federal Way. She pretty much knows all the ins and outs of this town. I trust her opinion regarding children as she is a retired nurse with grown well rounded children herself. My child has had the best experience here! Teachers are amazing! They are patient, informative and fun for the kids! My child in the three years attended did not once ever have an issue with a teacher nor did I. Common goal of preparing these kids for elementary both academically and socially has been beyond my expectations. The buildings are secure and safe. Tuition is comparable to most private preschools in the area but I feel you get much more from St Lukes. Weekly Chapel is wonderful reminding the kids that they are loved by our Lord just for being them and encouraging them to seek Jesus is so encouraging to these kids! Sadly, St Lukes only goes to kindergarten. My child will leave here with so many great friends, relationships and memories. I am grateful for this school making his first school experience wonderful.

My daughter has been attending ECM for 2 years now and she has progressed so much compared to when…read moreshe fist started. ECM uses traditional Montessori methods where everything is hands-on and the students are given the freedom to choose which work that interest them with the teachers' guidance. They note down what the students work on each day and keep track on their progress throughout the year. My daughter is now reading at between 2nd and 3rd grade level while doing double digit additions/subtractions, and have started learning multiplication at 5 years old. Her maturity level has also blossomed since they have multiple ages in a classroom, I have observed her helping the younger students. I highly recommend Evergreen Christian Montessori if you are looking for a high quality montessori preschool for your child!

I highly recommend your kids NOT go here. Here's my story. Kinda long but worth it…read more I started off by putting my 3 y/o in this daycare center. Everything was going OK. No big concerns besides kids being bullies. Then I put my school age kids (2) in. Now I will admit my middle child has behavioral issues and that's where things took a turn. I started getting incident report after incident report after incident report. Mind you school age kids are mean. And I taught my kids to stick up for themselves. After months of explaining to the office staff (sylvia) and the director (Cynthia luna) the issues I was having hearing my school age kids tell me about abusive behavior the staff was portraying onto the kids. And my son telling me his teacher scares him and sqeezes his arms and legs, was the last straw with this place. After contacting the licensor, she had informed me to call cps and report the daycare facilty which i did. twice . In retaliation they terminated my daycare services. In the termination letter they mentioned i didnt provide the right milk for my son, which i have fought about before. If you are giving my son cheese and yogurt and in the meal plan it says milk then wheres the issue with milk. They mentioned my daughter and her poor behavior and if there was such a big issue than why didnt we exicute the behavioral plan they came up with and didn't even give her 8 days before terminating our care. Or even suggest i remove her and not all of my kids. termination is just easy to get rid of all istead of dealing with a parent who stands their ground. (Thats me) Lastly they mentioned since i reported them twice in less then 3 months they felt the need to terminate my care.now this one is not just cause for them to terminate anyones services. I have the right to report anything sispicious or wrong doing that my kids are telling me thats whats happening daily. The day they terminated me i recieved numerous pictures of my kids. From bruises to abrasions my kids caused themselves (besides what my son stated about his teachers) and another incident report. They then turned around and called cps on me in retaliation (according to the cps worker) which i agreed with. They made a report that my son had brusises all over his body including his ass. Cps has no findings and the case will be closed against me. So i repeat dont let your kids suffer in this place its not worth it. They dont like it when youre right. They dont like people to stick up for themselves. They dont like being reported which is every parents right to do so. dont waste your money. dont waste you time. Keep your kids safe and best interest at heart. Do not go here. FYI all college for kids are connected so the abuse extends to this facility as well.

This post is very late due to the open investigation I had against this day care facility…read more In the beginning of 2017 my child attended c4k and the very first week my child had been bitten twice. Once on the left arm and then on the right cheek. I brushed it off mostly because hey new kid in an already established day care I assumed this happens and upon given the incident report that ester r had explained this happens often with new kids. Being a first time mother I wanted to fish for advice amongst friends and even some of the other parents and they have also said sometimes it happens. However another 2 weeks go by and my 2 year old daughter has a scratch on her face. She 'fell' according to the incident report. Nothing else bad happened until about 6 months later there was an out break of foot, hands and mouth disease. The director ester r failed to comply with the CDC laws and post out side of each door to the facility a warning and also at risk to let us parents know about the outbreak. Not only did they not post or inform any of the parents via writing and or postings throughout the day care but my child had contracted hands mouth and feet disease. Not only did I have to pay out of pocket for her medical expenses but I also had to take off work due to the c4k failure to do their job. I reported to the CDC and to the child welfare of Washington this situation just so no other children or parents have to go thru what I did with my child being so sick she couldn't eat for 2 days! Fast forward to the open investigation 6 weeks later. I was called into ester r.'s office to tell me that they are terminating my child care due to me being hostile with their staff (complete bull by the way) I barely interacted with the staff unless it had to do with Kori being in trouble hurt and or sick. Not to mention the staff barely spoke english. That being said they discriminated against me because I had filed a report of their wrong doings and they just decided to terminate me as if I were in the wrong. I have never (they can prove) violated any of the rules for this day care facility) I would never recommend this place to any one and also they do not clean their toys or their rooms daily. Not sanitary! Also the day before they had terminated me and my daughter she had come home with a busted lip and not one staff person or ester could explain to me what happned to her lip not was there an incident report for the first time! Not ok!!! Please do your research and make sure you are choosing a place that cares about the well being of their children! And that had good and positive reviews! I did not look at yelp before choosing a day care and I will from here on out! Good luck all!

They are always super on top of diaper changes and feeding and naps, we get updates throughout the day and I never have to worry about my son while he's there. They are also great about doing lots of enriching activities with the kids, way more than I would be able to do or even think of myself, and they are really good about supervising the interactions between the kids so they get to experience positive social interactions with other babies. I believe the entire experience has been really good for my son's development and I'm incredibly happy with and grateful for the teachers, primarily Miss Emily and Miss Casey, although all the other teachers and helpers I've met have been awesome as well. It's definitely the most expensive childcare option in the area that I've seen but so far I've felt it's worth it, in large part thanks to the quality of teacher they are able to afford.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!…read more First, I want to say that the teachers in both the Preschool 1 and Toddlers 2 classrooms were incredibly kind. They were genuinely the only positive part of our experience at The Goddard School. Everything else was truly unacceptable. Before my children started, I had multiple conversations with the administration about my daughter's autism. I was transparent about her needs, discussed accommodations, and was repeatedly assured that she would be welcomed, supported, and that this was an inclusive environment equipped to work with children on the spectrum. Those promises were not kept. My daughter wasn't even given a full day before they decided to terminate her enrollment. She was not violent or aggressive--she was overstimulated and in a brand-new environment, and she needed support. Around 2:00 p.m., Fatima called me and asked to meet the following morning to create a support plan for my daughter. I immediately agreed because I believed we would be working together to help her succeed. Then, just two hours later, around 4:00 p.m., Kayla called and informed me that my daughter was being terminated instead. The complete reversal was shocking and deeply upsetting. As a parent of a child with disabilities, I cannot ignore how this situation felt. I believe the way my daughter was treated raises serious concerns, and I will be reporting what occurred. Another issue was the professionalism of the administration. During our tour, Fatima presented herself as warm, welcoming, and enthusiastic. Yet on our very first day, I observed her rolling her eyes while my children were simply excited and acting like children in a new environment. It was a completely different person than the one I met during enrollment. I also read Kayla's biography on the school's website, and unfortunately, the compassion and values described there were not reflected in how she treated my family. That evening, I sent an email seeking clarification about the decision to terminate my daughter and asking for an explanation of what had happened. I never received the courtesy of a response. When I returned to pick up my other two children, Fatima looked at me with a truly disgusting expression on her face instead of professionalism or empathy. I am sharing this experience so other families--especially those raising children with autism or other disabilities--can make informed decisions. If a school advertises itself as inclusive and capable of supporting children with special needs, those commitments should be genuine, not just part of the enrollment process. I was warned before I enrolled my kids here, don't make the mistake I did.
