I really wanted to like Fairview. It was reasonably priced, directly on the way to my work, and I…read morewanted my daughters to get a Christian education there. We had a tour of the facility and were enamored of it before we were accepted. One of our daughters was in the Pre-K class, the other in preschool, and they went there nearly a full year. The teachers themselves were great. We loved them, they seemed very good at their jobs. The facilities were also good. The kids get a lot of opportunities to do some really cool stuff, and there are frequent field trips. The initial downside was that their communication skills were terrible. Emails from the administration wouldn't distinguish that the school part was closed (but not the childcare facility) for holidays. Our youngest wasn't potty trained (we tried!) before she started, and they refused to let her stay in pull-ups, so we ended up going through as many as four sets of clothes per day. The staff was terrible at telling us if we were running low on clothes and I ended up having to leave work mid-afternoon one day because my daughter was out of clean clothes. A fund-raiser we signed up for was pizza lunches every Wednesday. It was advertised as "skip making a lunch once a week", but when I stopped sending in lunches, I got an email from them telling me I wasn't meeting the state requirements on lunches and needed to supplement the pizza meals. We raised the discrepancy between the promises on the fundraiser promo-sheet and the reality with the childcare center's director, only to see the exact same flier used the next semester. The worst part of the experience was the early-morning drop-off. Before 8am, all of the children (regardless of age) were placed in the same room. Washington State laws require that in mixed groups, you use the age of the youngest child to determine required ratios. There were 2 year olds in with 5+ year olds, and the required ratio of 1 teacher for every 7 students was almost always violated during this time, or nearly violated. There was usually 2-3 teachers for 20+ children, and it was very chaotic. My girls ended up hating being left in the morning, and we ended up spending 5-15 minutes consoling them before feeling comfortable leaving them. The final straw that made us take the girls out was the morning we arrived and there was only 1 teacher for 16+ 2-4 year olds in the room. Older kids were taking toys from the younger, boys were rough-housing in the corner, the room was pure chaos. After waiting 5 minutes for another teacher to show up, I ended up having to go to the school principle to get more staff in the room before I felt comfortable leaving my daughters there. When I complained about the teacher ratios and having to track down extra staff, I was given a non-apology and told that if my daughters had difficult with the early-morning hour that I should bring them into school at a later time of the day. We took the girls out of Fairview shortly after that. It pains me to have to write up a review such as this one, but I don't think it's fair for any of the future parents considering this school to not have some insights into the problems that we had to deal with there.

This is my son's second year at Fairview, and first year in kindergarten. This school has an…read moreexcellent child care center with the most reasonable prices I've found in Seattle, and the teachers in the child care center genuinely care for the children under their watch. When my son was in the child care center part of the school, he was always excited to get to school in the morning, which is a great feeling if you are a parent, to know that your son loves where he spends the majority of his day. Mrs. Foster was his teacher in the Frog class, and I have nothing but good things to say about her. My review is about the kindergarten program. I chose Fairview partly because of their small class sizes, and when I met Mrs. McGuire, the kindergarten teacher, I was really excited for what was to come. She definitely does not disappoint! My son can be a handful, and Mrs. McGuire is firm but kind in her expectations of her class and doesn't let him get away with his antics. He has absolutely thrived in the environment she has created. She has helped him grow in his love for God, makes learning incredibly fun, and is a loving, invested teacher. Every one of her students loves her! The other great thing about this school is that they have both before and after care on site, due to the fact that they are a child care center as well. This is very helpful as I am not out of work at 3:15 every day. To anyone considering Fairview, I would highly recommend enrolling your child there!

I'll do my best to explain what University Lutheran is all about so that you can decide whether or not you might fit into our faith community. We are a progressive Christian church. And while that means different things to different people, it means to me that we are looking to create community that reflects God's desires for us. We look to address inequalities in society. We advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves. We look to care for God's creation. We are opening and affirming accepting of all God's children. We are a multi-generational church with established members who have been here for years, those attending the UW for graduate school, and families with children. Our worship service reflects our Lutheran traditions. We are liturgical which means that our service follows the same format week to week. But that doesn't mean that our worship service doesn't change. Of course, as Lutherans we appreciate traditional music with the service led by organ and choir. But we also have services that use music from Latin American and music from churches in Africa. During the year, we will hold more contemporary services led by drum kit, piano, guitar and bass guitar. The one thing that will be consistent though is the call for us as Christians to live out in the world the faith that we have. And we look to serve those in our community who need a bit of help. We host the Elizabeth Gregory Home day center for homeless women in our church. We are a place of shelter for eight homeless women each night with SHARE/WHEEL. We work with other churches in the University District to help out at risk youth. I hope that this gives you some idea of what University Lutheran is like.
