I attended LWTG with both my children and had a great experience. We're sad to have aged out of the program. We loved having Teacher Kris all the years we were there. The space is full of fun activities for the kids and they change out frequently so the kids have plenty to play with, learn with, and explore. The parent education part has been very helpful for us, especially with out first. We've also made lots of great connections with other families throughout the years there. I would highly recommend!

Both of my sons attended LWTG for a year and had a wonderful time. The rotation of activities and the breadth of things available in the classroom is great! The teachers were wonderful as well and the included times of parent education were appropriate topics and useful for my parenting journey. Lastly, it was nice to see my kids grow in their social ability and interaction with other kids thought the year.

We have loved being in Lake Washington Toddler Group. It's a wonderful program and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a parent/child activity for their little one. The program also offers lots of parenting education opportunities and family outings and events which I really enjoyed in addition to getting to play with my toddler in the classroom. LWTG is a fantastic place!

This was our second year in the outdoor class and we loved it! My daughter looked forward to exploring the outdoors with Teacher Kym and her classmates every week. It’s been a wonderful way to make us get outside in all weather. The play-based model was perfect for us and it has been a useful way for my kiddo to practice making new friends.

My family loves Lake Washington Toddler Group. It’s a fun place to come with your littles and younger siblings are welcome to attend as well. This past year I was in the Tuesday class with Teacher Kris with my two boys who are three and one. It was a great opportunity for my three year old to play and gain independence and confidence without being overshadowed by his older brother.The experience was not only a treat for my kids but also for me. There is a new parenting education topic each week with covers lots of good stuff and being able to talk about the good/bad/and ugly with parents going through it with you is an added bonus.Each week actives are swapped out so there is always something new and exciting for the kids to experience. Most of the class is open play and then there is a snack break before we end class with circle time, which consists of guided songs lead by Teacher Kris. The place wouldn’t be what it is without Teacher Kris. We like her so much we’ll be back in her class again next year with my youngest kid.Also, don’t be discouraged by the parent participation in cleaning. Many hands make light work.

We love being part of Lake Washington Toddler Group. My daughter looks forward to attending each week and there is always something different for her to explore. The creative art projects are seasonally themed and age appropriate! The family events outside of class are great and fun for kiddos and siblings (pumpkin patch, park hikes, and various online events). The teachers are wonderful and we especially enjoyed being in Teacher Kris's class. We are looking forward to another year in the program. Check out LWTG, you and your little(s) will love it!

LWTG has been such an awesome place to bring my two year old twins! We love Teacher Kris and look forward to our weekly class. It's a stimulating and safe environment--every week has fun new activities that are seasonally themed and age appropriate. We are already signed up again for next year!

LWTG has been a game-changer for us and has influenced every aspect of how we parent and connect with our kids. We have been part of LWTG for 4 years and plan to continue for the next few until our youngest enters Pre-K and ages-out of the program. It is so sweet to watch our kiddos interact with peers and try new, developmentally-appropriate activities each week. But, personally, my favorite part of toddler group continues to be the Parent Ed. While being a parent is always wild ride, the information, tips & tricks and useful parenting hacks we have learned each year have been invaluable to my husband and I. One tip if you live in the area - get into this program ASAP, even if you are waitlisted! You won't regret it, trust me.

My son has thrived at LWTG! We started in the youngest class when he had just turned one, and it has been so fun to watch him grow in this program. The classes are thoughtfully designed according to the developmental levels of the students (we're now doing more art projects than at the beginning of the year), and the teachers are so knowledgeable and friendly. We've really enjoyed the bonus experiences offered throughout the year as well (panel on nutrition, puppet show, exclusive Caspar Babypants concert, just to name a few!). We highly recommend LWTG.

I have been going to toddler group for 2 years and it is such a welcome time in my week! I get to spend two hours of uninterrupted time with my son and do activities that we would never do at home. He learns how to socialize, follow a routine and take commands from other adults, and it is all play based! They also include weekend activities for the kids and parents, educational lectures and discussions and family fun events. I am very happy I joined!

LWTG has a special place in my heart and I would recommend to all parents. My first two kids were a year a part and a lot of days were pretty overwhelming for me as a new SAHM. Mondays were not though because I knew I would get to go to LWTG that afternoon with my kids. That year we had Teacher Kim who is all kinds of spunky and fun. Fast forward a few years and I now attend with my third child who just turned two. Now we have Teacher Kris who is so sweet and easy to talk to. This class is a gift to the kids because they get to come do all age appropriate activities and they get to practice playing with other kids their age. This class is a gift to the parents because everything is set up (art tables, sensory table, water table, the list goes on, and they are constantly changing themes so it never gets boring), you just get to show up and let your kid has fun and wear themselves out for a great nap afterwards. Adults have the opportunity to talk and connect with other parents who are in the same stage as you in a casual environment.

We love LWTG. My 2-year-old looks forward to it every week and loves Teacher Kris! The activities are developmentally appropriate and engaging. I love the balance between free-play and more structured circle time and snack. The little ones pick up on the routine so quickly and have all become more independent throughout the year. There are events outside of class for the whole family that have made this a wonderful experience all around!

We attend this toddler group and it is a great fit for our family. Teacher Kris is the bomb! Their slide and songs are a big hit with my 1yo. In looking to begin a 2yo program/preschool I gave up on finding anything better and am excited to register for next year again! Another show of praise is that we commute 20-30 min from Seattle to attend here.

Loved this co-op preschool but sadly we have aged out of the program! We were enrolled for the 2018-19 school year. Teacher Amy is great and my son was so excited to see her and come to school each week. Would highly recommend.

This is such a great place for you and your kiddo. I’ve gone with both of my kids and it’s been amazing. The teachers are wonderful, there are opportunities to attend interesting speakers and events, and it’s a great place for you and your toddler to meet other local families. Going to class here is one of the highlights of our week!
