As soon as she turned Kindergarten age my youngest son was ready to attend and of course we went with Future Beginnings.

West Olympia KinderCare has always had good communication with me too, they give me daily updates at pickup how his day went and how well he's doing with his potty training. I will truly be sad when he has to leave to start kindergarten. Thank you being a daycare I can trust and for all you do!

I am still amazed more people don't review child care centers. That would be helpful if they did…read more We have used three different child care centers in the Olympia area over a period of 5+ years. Two of those I consider excellent, and I would recommend them to anyone. Serendipity is one of the two excellent ones (message me if you want to know the other one). I believe that the quality and success of these places is determined by strong leadership - by good directors who know what they are doing. They are the ones who can hire the best teachers and retain them. Of course, we are obviously very happy with the teachers at Serendipity. Our child likes them too! Serendipity is relatively large, with about 3 classrooms per age group. It is well organized and professional, and all sorts of information is available to the parents on daily activities, meals, learning, special activities, etc. One unique aspect is that there are numerous classes that the kids can take during their day (for an extra charge) there at the facility. They have swimming lessons, ballet, various sports, and more. Imagine avoiding the hassle of taking your kid to these activities...instead, just letting the school do it for you! So yeah, we are happy with Serendipity.

Teachers alone should get five stars. The staff are great. My kids have had a great bond with…read moretheir teachers. The facility is really nice, but here also is the reason for my mediocre review. I think the rent/overhead must be really high, because it is far and away the most expensive daycare in the area. And the tuition is going up incredibly from one year to the next, mostly due to the administration's desire to offer a benefit to teachers, which is admirable. But given how expensive the tuition is, one would think there would be more perks to being located at such a nice fitness center. The kids do get to use the pool 1x a week in the summer, and they go to the gym occasionally, but classes are expensive and I don't think they use the outdoor space enough in the rainier months. Bottom line: Given the tuition hike, we'll be looking for another place, weighing pros and cons. There is no money better spent to me than making sure my kid is well-cared-for. Just not sure it has to be so inflated compared to the cost of living here.

We were very nervous about having to leave her anywhere as we had to return to work. The owner and her staff quickly put our anxieties to rest as they welcomed our daughter, and us as nervous parents, with open arms. Their facility is very clean, organized, and well kept. They keep a daily event log for our daughter that is given to us each day when we pick her up. They have a great variety of interactive toys that our daughter loves too. The staff are always interacting with our daughter when we drop her off and pick her up which reassures us that she's always being cared for in every way. We have nothing but praise for this very family focused childcare facility. If you're looking for a childcare provider in Thurston county we encourage you to look them up and pay them a visit.

Sparkeberrys had been an awesome experience for all of my girls and in every way. The teachers are kind, attentive, helpful, understanding and well loved by their students.

Highly recommend Sparkleberrys, and we look forward to spending the next two years there with our youngest.

Children are successful with clear guidance after testing. Children who come from difficult backgrounds find success at our learning environment. When children move from out of state sometimes they are missing pertinent information and this curriculum after testing will help us spot where the gaps are. Every child should have this opportunity. Education is about continuously learning. When they do not have the building blocks how can they achieve? Sylvan fills the gap and many children come to us because they love the environment. I highly recommend.
