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.

While some churches aim to please with whomever is most charismatic being chosen to lead, St. Luke's stays true to Biblical teaching with pastors who have studied the Bible in seminary and preach God's word in every sermon. The Sunday School program is AMAZING and there are a lot of youth of all ages. Lastly, the music is INCREDIBLE with a full band of talented singers and musicians. There are two types of services so people can choose between contemporary music with the band or traditional (with hymns). Come check it out!

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.

They also have an app that allows you to communicate directly with your child's teacher and view some photos/videos throughout the day, though it depends on who's working that day.

Cons: My toddler always comes out at pick up in the afternoon with a dirty, sticky face and/or hands with maybe food from lunch or snack?
