    My oldest child entered the Attic for her 4th grade year in 2020. Our youngest child is now…read moreentering the middle school program for the 25/26 school year. The time we have spent at the Attic has been incredible for both our kids' academic and social emotional development. I could write a book about the things I love about this school, but some of the most important are: 1) That each child is seen and valued by every adult in the building; 2) A multi-age environment where a presentation by a 5 year-old on cupcake baking receives exactly the same respect and engagement as a well researched presentation on nuclear energy by a high school junior (a real life example); 3) Extensive time spend outdoors including longer than typical lunch and recess for all ages; 4) Measuring academic progress by the extent to which each learner grows through discomfort and disequilibrium into new skills and deep understanding; 5) Kids learn at the Attic because it is safe to make mistakes; 6) Community, community, community. Learners at the Attic do not produce large quantities of "work product." Parents that want to see a lot of worksheets completed and graded on a weekly basis may feel anxious about what their child is learning. The Attic is a "right-fit" school for parents who trust their kids to grow into curious life-long learners over long periods of time, know that progress is not always even, and value process over product.

    One of the most incredible aspects of The Attic is how deeply connected learners become to their…read moreenvironment. The students regularly explore the fields, forests, and streams surrounding the school, fostering a sense of curiosity and a profound appreciation for nature. Teachers know every student well--from the youngest kindergartners to the high school seniors. This personalized approach means that teachers can quickly identify areas of strength and growth, offering targeted support and challenge in equal measure. Community is at the heart of The Attic. Students of all ages not only know each other--they play, write, and share their projects with one another. This multi-age interaction fosters friendships and mentorships that feel entirely natural. The annual events where learners showcase their writing, math, and research skills are a testament to the school's dedication to celebrating student growth and passion. I love it here.

    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.

    Wonderful place for kids to learn and thrive! Truly appreciate the work they put in and my child is…read moregrowing and learning a great deal as he prepares for kindergarten and elementary school!

    Just absolutely superb!…read more My 16 mo old son just started attending UCiC and I just wanted to share about the exceptional experience I have had so far as a parent here. I toured about 8 daycares before choosing this place. This was actually the very first time that my son had been away from family. After months of prayer and research I felt like God led me to the right daycare and I'm so thankful He did. There were a few small bumps the first week of school and I feel the need to express what an amazing director Miss Abrams is. She really stepped into an issue and took ownership to reach out to me and cater to my son's needs. She did not wait even one day and right away took proactive measures to see how she could improve the situation. She made the issue her own and made me such a happy parent at the end of the day. I'm grateful for her acute leadership and her loving care. I could really sense her genuine love and heart for her students and I'm thankful that we have crossed paths. The outcome came out better than I could have expected. I manage a few businesses and I'm a fierce advocate for solid customer service. She is tremendous and if you are a parent like us, look no further.

We love the ample enrichment opportunities throughout the school day and after school, and we know that the school aims to differentiate and personalize instruction for students, while maintaining high and rigorous standards for all. They truly believe that all students are capable of achieving and demonstrate this in their wide range of supports for students.

    Absolutely the worst childcare experience we've ever had ! The center admins are retaliating…read moreagainst us for refusing to split up our twins !!! Update: Another retaliation from the center - they called to mention that what they said last Friday that it cannot have incident report, can now do, and they started sending incident reports today (Monday 4/29) after seeing my review. Extremely disappointed, I genuinely thoug6Bright Horizons was better than this... Our 19 months old twins go to the center since they were 15 months. When they first joined the center, they were getting sick more often than not, and they were also being bitten at least once a day (where they'd send an acual official incident report - photos attached for one of the times the kid was bit). We got frustrated because of what happened, but by the time we raised a flag on the issue, things got better (we think the problem child with the biting moved to the twos class). However, not long after, the center started preparing to split up our twins without even telling us, so we raised the issue with them since we wanted our twins to have some bonding time yet, and they backed our of their plans. However, after this, they started saying that our toddlers make problems in the classroom by 'fighting over toys' between themselves and other children, 'pulling hair', as well as 'running off' on the hallways, and they put the kids on a 'behavior improvement plan' where we'd need to be ready to pick up the child any day where they make a problem in the classroom, and where the enrollment could be paused in two weeks if no improvement is noticed (we're not expecting them to report an improvement). Please note that: * In the center admin's eyes, (running off) and (fighting over toys) are not typical toddler behavior, but (biting) is. * There are no official incident reports for 'pulling hair', 'running off' or 'fighting over toys' if not child got hurt, so they're officially make it up here.

They are so warm and welcoming. Our daughter loves her teachers and loves going to daycare each day. Sometimes it's hard to get her to come home in the evenings. BH does so much for kids' learning. They have even suggested things that we can try at home to further the learning. They also care about every child. I have seen many teachers cuddling with children that need some extra attention at times (my kid included). I cannot recommend this facility enough. It is worth the money, no question about it!

My…read morefirst was not "helped with his HS classes but Now my other 2 have very much been helped I think due to me saying in IEP meetings what classes they should be getting as My 1st kid was not granted the privilege of Taking any Foreign language or classes they desired for electives and he got stuck having 3 library helper classes his Senior year as they must of not cared to challenge him in any way. however the other two are being challenged and the teachers are keeping me informed weekly on their progress. I make my voice heard at their IEP meetings and feel the boys themselves are being listened to. #2 child has an interest in Computer Science so as a request he was put into AP computer science. He also got put into a foreign language his Sophomore year as I told them his brother was denied a foreign language so #2 better get into one as He wants to go to a 4 year collage and he needs 2 years of one. The district has gotten better in the last few years.

    This review is for the district- as a whole- and my overall experience in 20+ years of dealings…read morewith the District. This address is HQ of the Admin Offices. More specifically, for my dealings with the District for IEP (individualized education plan) and other service needs for my oldest son (who has a learning disability). The Northshore School District is hands down far superior to the Everett School District in the regard of implementing an IEP for an elementary school student. That is, unfortunately, where their 'win' ends and their "FAIL" begins. Getting the recommendations of both outside UW Dr.'s and the Districts own staff actually implemented into reality is the most difficult experience you may ever face. You know the saying, "but it looks so good on paper"? That seems to be their motto. As long as, on paper, they appear to be following state regulations, district policy and doing everything possible to meet the child's needs--they don't care beyond that. I don't mean to be harsh in that regard, but I mean, they REALLY don't care. In the 8+ years of dealing with the District, various schools, and various staff on behalf of my son, I believe it to be a systemic leadership, policy and education of staff issue with the District that we had such problems. Paperwork was routinely lost. Annual meetings were always late. Recommendations were never followed through on. Accommodations were faked or not given. Calls, emails, letters would go unreturned for weeks. When we could talk to people, it was always "I'll look into it and call you back". I have been waiting, even now, for a response from the District at the Administrative/Director level since early October. I've gotten a lot of apologies when I follow up, but never answers or assistance. What turned me 'against' the District- if you wish to put it that way- my son's IEP was written, and utilized, more like a "behavioral plan" and a disciplinary tool than anything else. Even when doing so violated District disciplinary policy or the state regulations. (A 'normal' child would get a warning first time, my son would get immediately suspended without notice. He once spent over 3 hours alone on the sidewalk down the street from school because they wouldn't let him use the phone and didn't call to alert us he'd been suspended "on the spot") The older he got, the worse it did as well. Little changed. Pages and pages of "He will not, He can not" for a child with almost zero behavior issues, and most of which were directly tied to his learning disability and have corrected themselves as he's aged and matured, yet they remain in his IEP. (and also could have with the most basic cognitive therapy and such in his IEP) The most frustrating part about that, is that he began to give up and just not care about school. My son's needs, the actual accommodations he required, are not difficult, expensive or altogether outside the normal classroom experience. I offered to purchase them or provide them myself, as well, and was repeatedly not allowed to do so. I shudder to think what a more severely disabled child and their parents must have to go through or 'put up with' to see to their child's education. There are many fantastic schools, and many fantastic teachers within this school District. Through the years, between me, my brother and my kids (even my oldest with all our struggles) have had some amazing experiences with truly caring and talented individuals. My other children are now outside this District, and my oldest has chosen to finish High School in this District without an adequate IEP since it is his last year of HS, but I cannot recommend the Northshore School District, overall, for anyone considering a move here *IF* your child needs an IEP. Should you (a) not know whether your child might need or benefit from an IEP, or (b) have advocates and lawyers already working with your family in this regard for your child--then I believe you may have a chance at a good experience with this District.
