One of my children has sensory needs and the structure and amazing teachers really helped her work through a lot of hurdles. She graduated with confidence personally and educationally for the next steps ahead. My other child loves being a part of the group and his favorite time of day is "circle time" where the children explore topics such as the sound of the week building on reading skills and socially sharing about different items from their homes. It's a pretty special place and we would highly recommend. For an extended morning, lunch bunch is a great way to make the session 1 hour longer and the kids get to eat together and play inside/outside after school.

Our daughter has started sounding out words before starting kindergarten thanks to Miss Ella and Hana's work with her and finished the year much more confident than when she walked in. Our children participated in summer session together and thrived with Christi and her staff. We came from a Montessori school in a different city that had outside play before and after and spending the whole session in the classroom is not an issue at all. There's a park outside where people often meet after class and lunch bunch available for and extended hour. Plenty of social emotional learning happens in the classroom through shared activities. If you're looking for a real preschool experience for your child we would recommend Edmonds Montessori in a heartbeat.

Brighton School is wonderful and we love it!!!!!…read more I've had my kids at Brighton for at least eleven years? I've lose count. My son attended Brighton from first through eighth grade and my daughter started in preschool and is now in sixth grade. My kids are completely different and they have both absolutely thrived at Brighton. Brighton does an awesome job of providing an excellent well-rounded education for many different types of learners and kids. Brighton offers an excellent academic program, but also offers an amazing drama program with Mr. DC, some great sports programs, after school extracurriculars, yearly overnight field trips that get longer with each grade level and culminate in a 10 day East Coast trip for the 8th graders, etc. The greatest asset to Brighton is its staff. Brighton attracts some truly talented, caring and highly invested staff and teachers. There are teachers at Brighton who have truly changed the course of my childrens' lives. Ms. (formerly Gabriel) Savage is my daughter's idol. Ms. Savage is the perfect role model for my child, as she is strong, confident, smart, kind and encouraging. My daughter is a gymnast and she has talked to my daughter about mental blocks. She is a great teacher but she clearly cares about her students in a way that goes beyond what her job requires. Her assistant Ms. Carrie is also so caring, patient and kind. Ms. Durbin is another teacher that made a real difference in my daughter's life. Ms. Durbin was like a second mother to my daughter, or my daughter's stand-in mother at school. My daughter has always had a ton of anxiety about overnight field trips, but knowing that Ms. Durbin would be on the field trip always made her feel better. Ms. Durbin knew when to be serious and get the class under control but could also be so silly and have fun with the class. Mr. DiLorenzo is another incredible asset to the Brighton community. Mr. D. was my child's third grade teacher, and he was an incredibly gifted educator then, and now he is the head of the middle school. Mr. D. can be so fun and silly with the kids, but he also knows when to be serious and address serious issues. My son had an awesome middle school experience at Brighton and during his years there built up a community of friends who carried over into the same high school. Ms. Livingston has been serving the Brighton middle school for years in various capacities and she is AMAZING!!!! She is currently teaching math and she is an awesome math teacher, but she also handles a lot of the administrative stuff for the middle school. She's very friendly, great with the kids, great with the parents, and easy to get along with. Ms. Bodnar, according to my 17 year old son, is "the GOAT" (greatest of all time). Ms. Bodnar teachers study skills and math (I think) but she connects with the kids in a way that few others do. My son emphatically thinks that she is the best teacher at Brighton. Ms. Thaler is also a great language arts teacher. She definitely knows what she is doing and I appreciate that she actually challenges the kids. This is Ms. Parks Lobbs' first year as Head of School, but she has been involved with other parts of the school for years and she appears to be 100% in charge of what is happening and in control of things. As a very long-time parent of Brighton who has observed three separate Heads of School, I think Ms. Parks Lobb is doing a great job. There are a lot of other amazing staff members at Brighton who I am going to forget to mention. We love Coach Matt, who is the kindest, funniest guy to have around. He always greets my daughter in the morning with the biggest smile and it makes me feel so good about dropping her off. He also love Coach Brandon, who has been there for years and is super well loved by all the kids. He made the summer camp a blast for my daughter. We really loved Ms. Becca, who is a former aide who is no longer there. We wish the school brought her back. My son had Ms. Schippers for both hers and his first year at Brighton (first grade) and she made him feel super welcome and safe. I don't remember the full names of my daughter's pre-K teacher and aide (the aide was Sarah) but they were both so amazing! Oh yeah, the parents, kids and community at Brighton are also awesome. Both my kids have made amazing friends and we have done all the playdates, the sleepovers, the skate nights (thanks, PTO!), all of it. My son has friends he literally made in FIRST GRADE and now are JUNIORS in high school and they are part of the same friend group and in some of the same advanced classes. My daughter and her best friends met years ago, some as far back as preschool. I've known those parents just as long. The parents are great and the PTO is currently thriving. I've never been involved in the PTO, but I am very, very grateful for the amazing parents who run it and all that they do. Best money we ever spent!

We've been at Brighton for five years after coming from public school, and our experience has been…read morewonderful. With 3 kids who have spanned the range if preschool, elementary, and middle school, I can say the middle school especially has exceeded expectations. Initially, I was nervous because of its smaller size, but it's been fabulous, the teachers embrace the middle school years while preparing students for real-world situations. We've had the honor of having both Ms. Shippers and Ms. Savage twice. Ms. Shippers has years of experience yet brings fresh enthusiasm every day, and Ms. Savage's connection with the kids is remarkable. Brighton truly offers a nurturing, dynamic environment we're so grateful for!

I love the Crescendo School, as does my son. He always comes home so excited about what he did…read moreduring the day. They really seem to have a handle on how children learn best, and how to foster a child's creativity. Lessons are taught with the children's strengths in mind, which not only give the kids confidence, but also helps them excel in subjects they are interested in. Music is obviously a large part of the learning at Crescendo, but it is not that is simply a "Music School", it is a preschool, PreK, and elementary school that utilizes music to teach kids. We looked at many different preschools, and they all looked the same. 1 to 3 little rooms with the same furniture, same bins labeled "blocks" and "trucks", same "dress up corner". The only things that seemed different between them were the names and the teachers. Crescendo has an entirely different feel to it. I love the multi-age classrooms, and the elementary kids all seem to learn a lot from each other. If you are looking for a fantastic Preschool or Elementary School program, definitely check this school out! Additionally, I do NOT work at this school; I am simply a very pleased parent!

This school started out really good, we were there for over 2 years. the second year they decided…read moreto expand and things went down from there. they got rid of one of their best teachers and replaced her with a babysitter (no qualifications, just watches the kids play). Now that they have grown the kids do not get as much one-on-one attention and it is no longer as individiualized like it was when we started. Its not bad if you want a place to put your kid for little money but really, there are way better programs out there for learning. Its one of those places that tried to expand faster than they could handle and the quality of the program has gone down. It's because of this that I would recommend to look at other schools for a quality preschoo/kindergarten (they really don't have an elementary program yet, just a few kids).

We love this school. Teacher Jessica and Teacher Leslie are superb. Immensely dedicated to school, children and family. There are amazingly creative activities that foster learning in an immersive play-based manner. Inside the school there are so many things that probably would take 2-3 years for a child to go through. There is a nice outdoor play area. School organizes field trips, celebrates holidays and birthdays together as a family. Since its operations are mostly self-funded, parents help put up an event with the school that supports for all supplies and expenses. Parents also take up roles/rotating responsibilities to support education and development. Our daughter loves her school and we could not have been more pleased. My wife also found a loving and intellectual circle of friends.

Shorenorth Co-op is so much more than just a preschool, it's an extension of our family…read more We just finished our third year at Shorenorth Co-op, starting with the Baby 'n Me Class. My daughter loves both Teacher Jessica and Teacher Jan. Her face lights up when we talk about preschool days and she cheers "There's my school!" the moment we pull into the parking lot. From a grown up point of view, I have found invaluable support on parenting challenges from teachers and other parents. The teacher led discussion topics are educational and relevant. It's been wonderful to meet other parents. From the first time I walked in the school I felt it was a magical place - it truly has been for my family. Check out an open house, play date or check with our register about visiting a class one day if you are considering schools.

I graduated from Shorewood High School in June 2010 at 17 years of age with my commencement one…read moreweek after my commencement from Shoreline Community College for an Associate of Arts and Sciences degree. Attending the school on-campus from the autumn of 2006 to the spring of 2008, I enjoyed the classes and variety of electives offered. My teachers were good to excellent and I enjoyed the campus design. It has since been remodeled into a multi-story structure. I took part on the swim team all four years, track and field one spring, and water polo two springs. Some of the dynamics between students in my classes and in sports came to be a bit tiring, so I decided to take part in the Washington State Running Start program full-time from the autumn of 2008 to the spring of 2010. This meant I took 100% of my classes at Shoreline Community College instead of the high school. It was a great was to transition to college coursework and attain my first college degree in conjunction with my high school diploma as the credits I earned counted for both.
