They were excited to go to class every single day, which says so much about the school and the staff. When our kids started Kindergarten they were very well prepared, academically and socially. We were also somewhat new to the area when our kids started attending, and since it's not a huge school, it also created a really nice sense of community for us. We were able to connect with other families, and we're still close friends with several of the parents we met there. So, for us it was a huge win-win for the kids and for us.

Our family has been with Global Early Learning South for the past 2 years, since our younger…read moredaughter was 1.5 years old. We have been incredibly happy with our experience and feel very fortunate to have found this wonderful daycare. Our daughter has been truly loved and well cared for here. She adores all of her teachers, and it is clear that they know and care about her as an individual. The teachers are exceptional. They are not only kind, loving, and full of positive energy, but they are also deeply passionate about what they do. We are constantly amazed by the variety and quality of activities offered. It is obvious that the teachers invest a tremendous amount of thought, time, and effort into developing the curriculum and preparing engaging learning experiences for the children. Their dedication goes far beyond our expectations. The school also does an amazing job of building a strong sense of community. Throughout the year, they organize events such as summer movie nights, family picnics, family field trips, Halloween celebrations, and the annual Nutcracker performance. These events create wonderful memories for both children and parents. We highly recommend Global Early Learning to any family looking for a nurturing, engaging, and high-quality childcare program.

Our family was looking for a daycare after having a negative experience at another one. We tried to…read moremake it work at the other daycare, especially since it was right next to my work, but in less than a week, we knew it was not the right fit for him. He was unhappy and did not want to go back. So we found ourselves touring other daycares and felt the most at ease with Global Early Learning South. Our son immediately felt comfortable with Maggie, the teachers, and his peers there. Even in his first few days, we saw in his videos that he fit right in as he was jumping around with his shaker during dance class and roaring like a lion in his yoga class. In addition to the photos and videos in Procare, Maggie texted us extra photos and videos during the first week to give us peace of mind that he was in good hands. The school provides breakfast, snack, lunch, then another snack in the afternoon. These are all healthy meals and most of the time the food is organic. As a home daycare, Maggie shared that she buys only what she would eat with her family. The kids enjoy a wide variety of engaging activities, including arts and crafts and seasonal experiences. One of our favorites was watching the children raise caterpillars and then release them as butterflies. They even host fun events like mini Olympics, where the kids get to stand on a podium to celebrate their accomplishments. In addition to their regular day, they have enrichment four times a week which is included in the tuition. A yoga instructor comes in on Mondays, a dance instructor on Tuesdays, Stretch & Grow on Wednesdays, and Tumble Bus on Thursdays (my son's favorite). The school has amazing community events, a family picnic day, a zoo day, summer movie night, and the highlight of the year is the Winter Nutcracker performance. On this night the students from South and Abra's school (Pre-K across the school, aka Global Early Learning - which we know from a family friend is also amazing. These schools are right across the street and partner with each other) all perform a series of songs and a play. It is very impressive! And food is provided as well. Our son is happy and thriving at this school. Maggie and the teachers truly care for each child and you can feel it. Each student gets a special birthday party with gifts. Communication is great since Maggie and the teachers know each kid well. The student to teacher ratio is low and the tuition is more than fair (low overhead as a home daycare). There's also a lot of little things too that just makes life easy for parents. Maggie provides muddy buddies for rainy days, sun hats for sunny days, and we even get to leave our water bottle at school which gets washed every day. We could not be happier with our experience at Global Early Learning South. If you're looking for a nurturing, engaging, and caring environment for your child, I highly recommend it. This is a special place. We love this school.

My son has been with LPW-Bellevue since he was 4.5mo old and flash forward 5.5 years, he just had…read morehis last day this past week to start kindergarten! There are so many wonderful things to say about LPW-B but first and foremost will always be the dedication of the teachers and staff to the kiddos. Many teachers have been there for over 10 years and that certainly speaks to their love for the job and how they are treated by the administration (just ask anyone in childcare, esp. from a larger chain). They're also very accommodating to your child's needs -- my son has many food allergies and also requires the use of a feeding tube. The teachers & admin had zero qualms about providing him with his tubes feeds (twice daily at specific times). This was a huge relief as first time parents who really struggled getting the appropriate nutrition to their kiddo and then had to worry about food allergies and whether or not medical accommodations could be made. Finally, the monthly tuition is incredibly affordable. For both of my children, the monthly tuition is equivalent to my friend's one child at one of the nearby larger chains. The only "negative" I will mention is that if you really like the idea of having real-time updates via an app, LPW-B is more like your traditional elementary school where you'll get an update at the end of the day.

Every evening when we pick him up from the daycare, he always has this big smile on his face and we know he has a great day. The teachers are truly kind and caring. As first time parents, we have so many questions about his development (like starting solids, learning to use sippy cups etc.). The teachers are always so helpful and patient to address our concerns and provide recommendations. Special thanks to Director Ms. Lizette, Ms. Ana R and Ms. Ana S - they've provided us with great help for my boy's transition in different stages! I also want to special thank Shelley from LPW billing department! I encountered several payment setup and Dependent HSA claim issues in the past, and Shelley was such a great help. She's responsive and wonderful to work with, and all the issues got resolved in just a few days. LPW is like a part of our family whom we can count on getting the support we need when we need them. Thank you!

I have the privilege to say that all three of my children have been a part of the Kiddie Academy…read moreBellevue family for multiple years now with the oldest having started in the middle of the pandemic in 2020. The years of interactions with every staff member at the school and three children being educated in almost every classroom and teacher combination at KA Bellevue is the basis for my review. The school is fantastic. I can not imagine entrusting my children's early education to any other school. Every person I have interacted with starting at the top with Ms. Olive and Ms. Alyssa through staff and rounding out with the cook is simply phenomenal. They are professionals who care deeply about the education every student receives and the staff very much understand the trust and responsibility families place in them when they drop off their little ones on a daily basis. The education goes beyond a day care with a full STEM curriculum and daily mental and physical wellness activities. I am consistently impressed at the well rounded education and knowledge base this school has managed to instill in my children. No easy task. I also want to acknowledge that not every day is perfect and like any school there have been a few discussions I have had with staff when I have a comment or concern. Their door is always open for comments, questions and feedback at KA. The staff are always willing to hear my perspective, committing to and following through with speaking to all other stakeholders, and then following up with me to communicate what steps would be taken to address an issue. I want to leave this review with a personal story that has stuck with me. My second child has had recurring respiratory issues his entire life. The same day we started understanding from doctors how to treat his breathing issues we wanted to make sure we had an action plan at the school if my son were to get sick. After briefing the administration they immediately looped in appropriate teachers. Going above and beyond what was expected to raise awareness about the issue Ms. Alyssa went so far as to - after asking if I was okay with it - brief the ENTIRE staff on the situation in their recurring internal staff meetings. Simply put the staff view the children as part of their family. The curriculum is world class. The administration, the teachers, the school is incredible. I can not think of a more amazing place to entrust my children to grow and learn in their early years. If you are looking for a day care in the Bellevue area you must look at Kiddie Academy Bellevue.

Our son joined KA Bellevue mid November 2023 in the "Twos" classroom and just like any other kid,…read morehe cried a lot. Unfortunately both the teachers were busy attending other kids but the assistant director was there to console him all day. On the second day, he continued to cry most of the day but there was no one to console him as both the teachers were busy (one teacher in the changing room and the other nothing). From the third day onwards I had to call the front desk at least two times because during nap time all he wanted was his pacifier but no one cared to give him and he would continue to cry and ask. So I had call every single day for 2 weeks and ask them to give his pacifier. Secondly because he wasn't getting any attention at all, he would go and play with water and wet his clothes. This was in November- December and very cold. Instead of changing wet clothes, the teacher was forcing him to sleep in his wet clothes. I had to call again and ask them to change his clothes. His water bottle would be on the floor and everyone including the teachers will be moving with the feet but not pick it. He would stay thirsty for hours. How difficult is it to do your job for which you are being paid? By end of second week we decided to talk to the Director Alyssa and after the meeting, she promised that he will be taken care of. From the third week onwards, it seemed fine and he was included during play time but the change of clothes remain the same. He would be on his wet clothes for hours until I called the front desk and asked them to change. We realized he wasn't getting the type of care he should be getting and hence we decided to pull him out. We finally send them the withdrawal notice. Ofcourse we were asked why we decided to pull our son out when the teachers are being nice to him. We never saw our son happy while drop offs and pick ups. In terms of the curriculum, other than basic coloring there is no curriculum. Everyone is playing on their own. My son was being pushed to the floor by two other kids from his class but the teachers didn't care to stop them. He would cry but the teachers didn't even bother. On his last day (which was also his 2nd birthday) we decided to send him so that he can celebrate his birthday with other kids and also it was his last day. I was told that they celebrate his birthday after the nap hours. So I turned on the video to see what he was doing around 3:30pm and see most of the kids sitting and waiting for the cake. In the meantime, another kid sitting next to him bites my son 3 times and the teacher didn't pay much attention. After 2/3minutes, they realized it was swollen, they gave him ice cream pack and made him sit with it. This was his Birthday present from the school. After which we immediately rushed to the center and the teachers didn't care to inform us. When asked what happened, one of the teacher casually said his friend accidentally bit him but they have applied ice it's fine. Then I asked about the incident report, she said she will send along with the daily report which I never received. If I am not wrong, the incident report is presented to both the family for signature but in this case there was nothing. There have been times when he tried to tell us about 'Time out' but didn't take it seriously but then one day he said because he plays with water, the teacher gave him time out in the dark. He kept saying "I am scared in dark" to us but we never thought this is what happened to him. We are glad to have pulled him out of there. . Is KA reliable? The answer is NO. Is it a good place for kids to learn anything? Of course NOT because there is no curriculum. This entire 1.5months was horrible.
