This is an amazing and wonderful school. I wish I could put into words how amazing this school is. The teachers are all really great. They put so much time and effort into planning lessons, caring for the kids' social and intellectual growth. The director of the school is so caring and plans the funnest activities for the kids. We came here for two years and our kid had the best time. We were so glad to enroll our kid here. read more

During our sabbatical in Seattle, enrolling our daughter at Pikake was hands-down the best decision…read morewe made. From our very first tour, we were struck by the professionalism and warmth of the school director -- organized, thoughtful, and immediately welcoming. The teachers carried that same spirit throughout the year. Our daughter's teachers, Ms. Maple and Ms. Tristen, were truly exceptional. Our daughter learned so much and genuinely thrived -- by the end of the year she could out-quiz her elementary-school-aged brother on world geography! The curriculum let her choose her own projects and go deep into each subject, which made learning feel meaningful and self-directed. We also deeply appreciated how warmly the teachers and families welcomed us, despite having no personal connection to Japanese culture. We got to experience traditions like Hinamatsuri alongside families who made us feel like we belonged. The food deserves its own mention. Every morning we walked in to the smell of freshly made Japanese food -- homemade, seasonal, and genuinely delicious. Our daughter's palate grew so much that year. (Her current school's lunch, by contrast, has us packing her meals daily -- nothing compares!) If we had stayed in Seattle, we would have continued to send our daughter into kindergarten. We are so grateful for the year we had there. And in our daughter's own words: "I had an amazing time with you! I wish I could be there right now. Pikake is the best preschool " -- said everything.

My child has been going to Pikake School for a couple years now and we couldn't be more pleased…read more Our child has really enjoyed the teachers and environment and has blossomed since they started going to school here. The teachers and staff are knowledgeable and caring, they go above and beyond for all the children. The school and staff worked very hard through lockdown and the covid pandemic to offer a safe and nurturing environment for all the children. Pikake School has continuously added new features for children safety, like a new padded astro turf area on the playground. My child loves it and tells me about it every day! It brings my heart great joy to hear about all of the wonderful and positive things my child experiences throughout the year... things like the Reptile Man, meet and greets with Fire Fighters and Police Officers. They even had a visit from Santa during Christmas! We are so happy that we found Pikake School, the director, teachers and staff strive to provide the most loving and nurturing environment for all children. I have to say thank you for all that they have done and still do.

Lake Hills Montessori School

My son did two years of preschool plus kindergarten at Lake Hills Montessori School. I'm sending my…read moredaughter next year, so I guess you could say we love it. The small class sizes mean that the teachers can really give each child individual attention: most often, lessons are one-on-one. This school has a great balance between discipline and freedom. Kids are allowed to choose what works they do, within reason, but the environment never feels hectic. My son was very shy and worried when he first started preschool and he had really blossomed in this environment. I think having consistent familiar teachers for all three years made a difference. They were willing to be patient with him and work slowly at his level until he was ready to open up. Financially speaking, this school is a really good deal for what you get. 5 days a week, 2.5 hours a day. The price is higher than a church-run play school, but much cheaper than a day care school, and the educational quality is much better than either of them. I love that my son really learned things instead of played all day, but did it in an age-appropriate way (no worksheets, no sitting at a desk). He was always so excited about the new things he had learned and remembered them years later.

Lake Hills Montessori…read moretakes awesome care of children, teaching them responsibility and giving them a sense of belonging. Literacy, team work, leadership, communication, respect, patience, all aspects that are important for littles to work on are addressed through meaningful and well-articulated curriculum. As a Bellevue School District teacher, I appreciate the communication I receive about what she is learning in class. My wife and I are empowered to ask questions about what she is learning in class thanks to the weekly themes and regular progress updates. Students going through the Montessori method are regularly creating things they can bring home with them, so we get a piece of her learning back with us nearly every day. The kinds of soft skills that Lake Hills Montessori enforces is on display anytime you go to visit. Classroom procedures and expectations are clear and transparent, and you regularly can observe students working on and teachers giving feedback about those procedures. This enables a classroom environment that is remarkably calm and focused for students as young as three years old. Our daughter is full of energy 24/7, but this program has an excellent way of channeling and focusing students learning during their time there. As a music teacher, I also appreciate the use of song and the recognition of composers throughout the school year. The implementation of music is clear when we drive home and hear fragments of new songs and lyrics that we don't recognize. This provides one more way for us to interact with our daughter about her education, seeking out videos of the music she is learning and singing with her at home. The staff at this school are kind and nurturing while also being fierce professionals at what they do. The intentional preparation and attention to detail is evident from the first visit when we met the staff and continues with each visit afterwards. We are both so thankful for this excellent program!

Just in case Natalie will explain my review from below in a long and overwhelming format. But you…read morecan always give me a red heart after you enrolled you kid and really learned about what I said in a hard way. And, you are welcome. We enrolled our child here for a few months and experienced so many problems that we decided to withdraw. Honestly, it's hard to put everything into words. If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be chaotic. The management is extremely disorganized, and it shows in every aspect of the school. They promise everything during the tour, but nothing is actually realized. For example, my son's potty training regressed while he was here, yet on his very first day at his new school, he was completely successful again--clearly showing where the issue was. Staffing is a major problem. The school feels understaffed, and instead of hiring enough people, they move teachers around constantly. Teachers are pulled from classrooms to cover the front desk, which leaves children without consistent caregivers and disrupts their sense of safety and stability. Sometimes multiple teachers sit at the front while classrooms and playgrounds remain short-staffed. When teachers are missing, children may be moved into other classrooms without parental consent or proper camera access. The facilities and environment are also concerning. The classrooms and floors are often dirty, even in the morning when children are first dropped off. The food quality is very poor, meals look like leftovers, often just cereal porridge with tiny bits of vegetables or meat, and not the organic quality that was promised. Supervision is lacking both indoors and outdoors. There are no cameras outside, and playgrounds are regularly understaffed. Our child was seriously injured outside and no report was provided. During one unannounced visit, I even witnessed children crying hysterically with no teacher comforting them, while other teachers raised their voices harshly at kids in full view of parents. Another disturbing concern is the culture: the school head's own child is in the school and acts as a bully in the classroom without intervention. Other staff members' children also receive special treatment. If teachers dislike your child, they may even allow or encourage other children to mistreat them. To make matters worse, they openly supports physical punishment, something every other preschool we toured explicitly prohibited. Unfortunately, our child experienced this firsthand. He was two years old, but punished in a harsh and rude way. The teacher had segregated and neglected him during nap time. We are contacting the agencies for the abuse. Hopefully they'll get punished soon. Communication with management is evasive and never provides reassuring answers. Overall, this school fails to provide the safe, nurturing, and trustworthy environment that children need. I cannot recommend it.

Our kids have been to Birch Tree (BTA) over the past 4 years. We've had an amazing experience, and…read morerecently realized how exceptional it is compared to other daycares. We took for granted the high quality care and high standards set by the management and staff. We took a short break and moved our youngest to another daycare for a month just to be closer to our house (national chain daycare in Kenmore), and it was literally night and day. The other daycare was subpar in quality and extremely short staffed, even though the tuition was comparable. We decided to move them back to Birch Tree, and drive the extra miles. What we love about Birch Tree is the management, warm and caring teachers who give lots of hugs, home cooked food, facilities, quality education, classroom camera and Bright Wheel App. Despite the locations expansion, BTA still feels locally owned and the owner Natalie and head of schools Jessica are very much involved in all of their schools. You will still see them in-person floating around the different locations. They generally know all student's names, and the local staff are always friendly and greating parents. They hold their staff to high standards and also expect the same of parents. Kids are well behaved, they wear inside vs outside shoes. Food is better than my home cooked meals, classrooms are modern with high ceilings and large windows, and all teachers have open communication with parents via the instant messaging feature. The admin staff is also on top of communication, and they have an abundance of teachers and admin staff. They also offer weekly PE, music, and Spanish classes which are all included in the price. They also offer parents night-out occasionally, and host events and weekly summer field trips for pre-k. You can do 3, 4, or 5 days a week. Speaking with staff, they enjoy working there and say that there's opportunity for them to grow and take on different roles within the school or office. Other parents we've met have moved from other daycares to go to BTA and seem very happy with BTA. They have well prepared our oldest for kindergarten and we are so thankful. None of these things we observed with the national chain daycare.

Worked formerly as a teacher here so this comes from my own personal views and opinions, although I…read morecan say that many former colleagues would agree with me... I can say with confidence this school is the worst school I have ever seen, been to, or worked at. To start, the tuition rate is outrageous, they have a turnover rate of almost 50% of staff every year, and they barely pay teachers with Masters and PHD's a living wage. In working at public schools before this, I can say the curriculum here is substantially worse and far less engaging. Parents get scammed into thinking this is some elite school for gifted kids. Your child will be far better off at any public school than here. Save your money for a good college or a real private school, not this horrendous place that calls itself a "school". PS after paying over $30,000 a year per child for tuition, that doesnt even cover school lunches, field trips, or any after school enrichment opportunities or activities. They just want your money, and if you pay enough I am sure they will give your kid amazing grades without them having to learn anything!

Each child seeks the spotlight, showcasing their ideas with confidence. 3) The peer groups are exceptional, with students excelling in various fields like ice hockey, chess, dance, art performance, etc. 4) The school culture fosters a sense of inclusivity and compassion, emphasizing that everyone is a winner. My son's desire to raise funds for street kids reflects the school's values of community contribution. Special thanks to Mrs. Wilson, our classroom teacher. Not only myself but I've heard from several other parents in this class mention how much the kids love her.

This is a very long overdue review. We started our daughter in ECA when she was just 4 months, and…read moreshe will be leaving ECA next summer/fall when she starts kindergarten. She has been to almost every classroom and has been taught by all the teachers and staff. You know the staff really cares about my daughter as they all know her by name. Although there was initially more turnover when she started, it seems to have become more steady and there is a longer-lasting relationship with the teachers. We didn't necessarily seek out the bilingual aspect of ECA when looking for a daycare, but I am thankful of the opportunity for my daughter to learn the Chinese language and culture even though we don't speak Mandarin at home. She surprises me with the amount she knows. Looking back, they were a bit more strict during the COVID years, but this is much appreciated as a parent. Although my daughter eventually did contract COVID, it was only at the peak of Omicron that it occurred. They had safety measures that straddled the line of being cautious but also fair to working families. The management has been communicative and transparent. When we have questions or concerns, they are always taken seriously and are open to feedback. We have been very happy with our experience here and don't hesitate to recommend other families to consider ECA.

He has been in ECA for over 2 yrs and we've loved how much he's grown at his time here. I have two kids, and older one was sent to a different Daycare as ECA was not available at his time, and I can truly say that ECA has exceeded our expectations on what a daycare can and should provide your little one during their prime years. My son at ECA has learned how to take care of himself, clean up after himself, manners, and properly greeting etiquette. We do not speak mandarin at home, so seeing him be able to pick up so much from school has been so heart warming and amazing. We feel that ECA has done much more, along the lines of controlled learning. Not does he only have free play, but they really do believe that learning about the outside world is just as important. He's learned about continents, the 5 oceans, the solar system. And not only does he learn them in English, he's learned them in Mandarin as well. He has been given the ability to practice his cutting, pasting, writing letters, and number... but he's also been given the experience to learn how to make dumplings, and moon cake with his peers. The art that they do is also tied in to the subjects they are learning... which is how it should be done. They get to see, hear, and do.. which is essential in active learning. We don't speak mandarin at home. And being able to watch my child read mandarin words, sing mandarin songs, and reply to his teachers in mandarin... has been amazing. I can truly say that he speaks better mandarin than I can now. I've added a video to my review as a small sample of how much my son has learned reading Chinese at ECA. Also, once they are in pre-k, there are some days, where your kid gets to bring home, homework (not mandatory). Haha if that's your thing. My child loved it. And was proud to do the work "all by himself". I truly believe my little one has been able to grow a lot from ECA. And we're really happy about the staff, and the head school, Jenny. They have less turn over rates than our prior daycare, and the staff really seem to enjoy their time with the kids. The cameras are also always a nice touch to ease any parent's anxiety. Thank you ECA!

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.

As parents of three children who have attended Highland Christian Preschool, we cannot express enough how exceptional and distinguished this school truly is. From the moment we first visited, we were impressed by the warm, nurturing environment and the dedicated staff who genuinely care about each child's development. The curriculum at Highland Christian Preschool is outstanding, blending academic learning with play-based activities that keep our children engaged and excited to go to school every day. The teachers are highly qualified and passionate, providing individualized attention and fostering a love for learning in each child. One of the standout features of Highland Christian Preschool is the strong sense of community. The staff and teachers work hard to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where parents are encouraged to be involved in their child's education. The regular communication and updates from the school help us stay informed and connected. Additionally, the values and principles taught at Highland Christian Preschool align perfectly with our family's beliefs as christians. The emphasis on character building, kindness, and respect is evident in the way our children interact with others and approach challenges. Highland Christian Preschool has also done an exceptional job in creating a safe and supportive learning environment. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with resources that enhance the learning experience. The school's commitment to safety protocols, especially during these challenging times, has given us peace of mind. Overall, Highland Christian Preschool has exceeded our expectations in every way. Our children have thrived academically, socially, and emotionally, and we are grateful for the positive impact the school has had on our family. We highly recommend Highland Christian Preschool to any parent looking for a top-notch early education experience in the Bellevue area. read more

Our 4-year-old son recently relocated to the United States and began learning English with no prior exposure. Naturally, we were a bit anxious about how he would adapt--especially in a new environment and language. However, his experience in this kindergarten has exceeded all our expectations and brought us so much peace of mind. From the very beginning, the teachers have shown exceptional patience, warmth, and dedication. They are especially attentive to children who are just beginning to learn English, making a genuine effort to include every child, foster a sense of belonging, and build their confidence. Their thoughtful approach creates a safe, nurturing environment where learning happens naturally. What stands out most is how they blend education with joy. The activities are not only creative and fun but also carefully designed to support language development and social interaction. Despite the language barrier, our son comes home smiling every day--excited to return and eager to share what he's learned. We've already seen meaningful progress in both his English skills and overall confidence. The inclusive, encouraging atmosphere has helped him--and us--feel genuinely supported. We are deeply grateful for the compassion and dedication of the staff, and we wholeheartedly recommend this school to any family, especially those with children adjusting to a new language or environment. read more

From the very beginning, our journey with this preschool has been nothing short of amazing. Mrs. Andrea, is truly exceptional. She is not only incredibly caring and loving, but she has also created an environment where my son felt happy, healthy, safe, and most importantly, loved.

Great preschool for kids to learn, explore, have fun and feel safe. They have great teachers (Mrs. Andrea and Mrs. MJ for my kid's class) and staff (Mrs. Jeanine, Mrs. Michiko) who really care for the kids and are very passionate about what they do. They make learning fun for the kids and also help them become independent. There were multiple field trips like Salmon hatchery, pumpkin patch, Kid's museum, Fire station etc. which my kid enjoyed a lot. They provide daily updates and share pictures and videos of the activities through an app. And more... They keep the parents engaged too through various activities like pumpkin painting, acrylic painting, craft work, Mother's Day celebration, pickle ball, badminton, festival celebrations etc. throughout the year. So, both you and your kids will surely like this preschool. I strongly recommend Highland Christian Preschool! read more

When my child first joined Highland Christian School, he was quite hesitant to leave the comfort of home and the protective presence of a mother. However, over time, I witnessed a remarkable transformation--from a reluctant student to an eager learner. I'm truly grateful to Highland Christian School for this positive change. The teachers (Susan, Andrea and MJ) are very caring, and he loves them very much. Their warmth and dedication have played a big role in helping him settle in and enjoy school. As a parent, I deeply appreciate how the school seamlessly integrates learning with play, while also introducing the fundamentals of STEM education in a way that sparks curiosity. I wholeheartedly recommend Highland Christian School to other parents looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their children. Thank you once again, Highland Christian School! read more

As parents, finding the perfect preschool for our child was a top priority, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Highland Christian preschool truly stands out! We have been sending our kid to Highland starting May. Hope we could have found it earlier. We have been to a couple of day care's and Pre school in Redmond and spent ~3000 USD but were never this satidfied. What truly makes Highlands exceptional is its staff and teachers, they are genuinely caring, passionate, and dedicated individuals. They communicate wonderfully with parents, providing updates. The curriculum strikes a fantastic balance between structured learning and playful exploration. Our child has developed essential academic skills. The variety of activities, including art, and ample outdoor play, ensures a well-rounded and joyful experience. read more

My son attended highland Christian school and it helped to teach him to be a kind, gentle and loving human being. I believe that it takes a village to assist in raising the kind of people we want in this world. There are too many unkind, mean, killing, selfish people in this world. I truly believe we need the awesome help of the staff at Highland Christian school to help form the minds and action of our children. Our children our the future of this world and we as parents and guardians need to start their lives off in the best way as possible. I will shout it from the rooftop all that this school has given to my son. We owe our children a wonderful start to their future liFe and the life of everyone they come in contact with. Highland Christian school is the way to see that this happens for your children. read more

This is a review from my 4 year old child who has been attending for two years now: I will rate my experience 5/5. I like the homework, the prizes, the toys, and also the playground. I like my teachers. I like when my teachers give me homework. The teachers are kind. I like the activities we do like dinosaurs. Would you reccomend this school to other kids? Yes! What do you think kids will like about the school? The toys, the playground, the teachers, snack time, Sparkles (classroom pet fish), learning about dinosaurs. This school is amazing because of the teachers that they have! They do fun stuff every day and learn so much! My child is learning to read and write with them. They have different themes every week. They really go above and beyond. I would recommend this school to any kiddo and parent! read more

As first-time preschool parents, we were nervous! But Highland Christian Preschool blew our expectations away. The teachers are superstars - incredibly dedicated and passionate about creating a wonderful experience for each child. Our daughter thrives there - she adores her teachers, classmates, and all the fun activities. From the large gymnasium on rainy days to outdoor playground, there's something for every kid to love, and the variety of toys keeps them constantly engaged. And let's not forget the daily art projects! Our daughter comes home each day proudly showing off her latest creations. We toured numerous preschools, and Highland Christian was the clear favorite - this is certainly a hidden gem on the Eastside. We love it, and our daughter will be staying here as long as possible! read more

Highland Christian school, located in Bellevue, is great. Our child enjoyed the school year 2023-2024 very much. The teachers are so amazing and caring. They (Mrs.Sullivan) were addressing and very willing to work with parents if there are any concerns to address them in a positive way. The curriculum is very well thought off, and very well executed over the weeks. Our child learned very many things from how to be socially responsible to reading basic words to doing little art projects to basic mathematics. Another advantage Highland Christian School has is indoor gym. Seattle/Bellevue being a rainy city for most months, the indoor gym helped them play for sometime everyday. This a big plus to burnout the energy. read more

I work in the same building as the preschool and have a front row seat to what happens there. I see the teachers treating the students with love, kindness, and respect. I see joyful kids who are glad to be there (once they get through the normal adjustment of being separated from their parents). I get to watch and hear how they grow and learn through being around other kids. HCS has wise teachers and staff members who understand kids and know how to teach them both academic and social skills that prepare them well for kindergarten and beyond. read more

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.
