A staff member strapped my child to a chair by force, with no proper training or certification, and is still employed. Leadership has taken no real accountability, even with written documentation. I would not trust this place with any child's safety or emotional well-being. What does it say about management when they choose to keep someone like this around? It makes me wonder what else they allow behind closed doors.

We appreciate how much they communicate with us about our daughter's day-to-day learning, triumphs, and challenges. She has made tremendous academic and social progress under their tutelage and is beginning to read before her 4th birthday! Even more important, she feels loved, and she loves all her friends and teachers in return. We are especially grateful that she has teachers, administrators, and Board members of color to look up to, as well as many classmates of color. This is such a gift for a mighty, young Black girl growing up in this area. Thank you, Greater Trinity Academy!

=== This review is specific to the Mukilteo EACAP program located at Lake Stickney Elementary ===…read more This program is, in a single word, fantastic. My 3.5 yo child began a class here last fall and we've had nothing short of a terrific experience since day 1. School sessions are held in 4 different, fully-functional classrooms, each with a color-name, and supplied with a head teacher and at least two assistant teachers as well as parental volunteers, and each offers the choice between morning or afternoon classes lasting just shy of 4 hours, 4 days a week (no school on Fridays). Even before the school year begins, your child's assigned teacher will visit your home, explain the program and meet your child to make the first day(s) experience as comfortable as possible. Once school begins, classes are structured with daily schedules that include circle/group time, lunch provided by the school in the cafeteria (for PM class, not sure of AM), reading, crafts, fun lessons that usually correspond with a weekly theme, sufficient time for hygiene maintenance ala required hand-washing blocks, teeth brushing and consistent bathroom breaks, and TONS of sensory and free-play. In 5 months, my child is a pro at ABC's and color recognition and is far ahead of where I would expect in letter writing and fine-motor skills such as cutting, coloring within the lines and gluing. My child's classroom (The Red Room with Mary as lead teacher) in particular is a pure joy. My child began the school year very shy and apprehensive in nature. We weren't sure s/he was ready to be in such a bustling setting but it was BECAUSE of this extreme shyness that we wanted to try it out and we are just absolutely thrilled that we did. S/he has made friends quickly, is having a blast learning and playing in a safe, educational setting and the shyness has almost completely dissipated - after only 5 months! Each class is also assigned a family resource counselor who readily offers support both in and out of the classroom via regular check-ins and home visits, and after-school family activities such as Bubble Night, Literary Night and Parent Cafe - as well as open invitations to volunteer in or visit the classroom ANY time you want - ensures that you are welcomed and encouraged to participate in your child's early education experience. There is absolutely nothing I can possibly say that is negative about this school/program. It could use some posted direction and improvements in the parking lots (people parking in front of handicap walkways and in obviously restricted areas) but that's menial in the overall perspective. All in all, love, love, LOVE this place and couldn't be happier.

My first child child went to a daycare most of her preschool years. It was cheap, for a reason.... As much as we tried to get her ready, she struggled. Our second child started when she was 2 and is now at the top of her Kindergarten class. I honestly believe is it because of the TEAM Lisa and Erin have made. My daughter still talks about her teachers from this school and how much she misses them. I give all the credit to this school. I'm excited to see my 3rd child complete this great program. I recommend this Goddard school to anyone that want their kids to excel. Thank you Lisa and Erin for all you do!
