Schools in Kirkland, WA

“Our family has had an absolutely wonderful experience with Goddard. Our son started here when he was just 4.5 months old and is now 3, and our daughter began at 3 months and still attends as well. Having both of our children here for such an important stage of their lives has given us so much peace of mind.
The teachers and staff are truly exceptional - caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. They create a warm, nurturing environment where our kids feel safe, loved, and excited to learn each day. It’s clear how much thought and care goes into everything they do, from daily routines to developmental support.
We are incredibly grateful for the love and consistency they’ve provided our children over the years. We couldn’t recommend this daycare more highly and feel so lucky to be part of this community.”

“Must tour! Really great environments with lots of hands on learning activities. Structured schedules and curriculum. Lots of family activities so we can connect with the staff. Management is always available if we have questions. Love ACJ!”

“We love being a part of the LWTG community. The teachers are amazing and the kids love going to class!

We are coming up on our last quarter of LWTG with our last kid, it's bittersweet to age out from such an awesome program. It has been such an amazing part of becoming more confident in our parenting journey and while I will miss the teachers and events, we've created a great community and some lasting friendships. I would highly recommend the program to any young family.”

“We sent our daughter here since she was 4 months old and she is now almost three and half. Love the live camera in the classroom and the playground. They open for long hours all year around (except for holidays) which is very friendly for working parents. Love the open communication with their director, which is super helpful for me to learn what happened at school and how to help my kid grow. Their meals are freshly made in house and they offer organic milk. The teachers are nice and friendly, and they have great curriculums to help kids learn through play.”

“My son has been going here since 7 months of age, he is 14 months now and absolutely loves it. The teachers are amazing and truly care for the kids. We get often updates on what/when our baby eats/drinks, diaper change, and the most exciting photos! I love that my son is excited to go to daycare in the mornings and that I know he is always learning and having fun! Highly recommend this daycare to other parents and families!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Lil People’s World in Kirkland. My child absolutely loves going every day and has been going there since he was an infant, and he is almost 5 now. The staff are caring, patient, and truly invested in the kids’ happiness and development. On top of that, they were incredibly understanding and compassionate when I had a billing situation, which meant more to me than I can express. It’s rare to find a place that combines such genuine care with professionalism, and I’m so grateful to have found them.”

“My kids love their school! They have amazing teachers that always go above and beyond to ensure my babies are loved.
* Ihilani is a blessing for my little 'angel' <3 super patience and always smiling, is a joy talking with her.
* Spencer and Devika are just amazing teachers to my 'bossy' baby, they are always helping and ensuring she is cared and challenged with activities.
We are so lucky to have them as their teachers <3”

“Choosing a daycare for your first baby is such a daunting decision, but Bright Horizons Kirkland made the transition incredibly smooth and easy for our family. We have had such a wonderful experience here and would highly recommend to anyone.

The teachers in the infant room are truly amazing—a special shout-out to Olga and Krista, who are just spectacular and really helped us first time parents. Our son never once cried at drop-off; he genuinely loved his teachers, and seeing that bond made it so much easier for us to head to work. Even as he moved up, the Toddler teachers were just as incredible (yay Katheryne and Linda), making the one-year transition seamless. You can tell the entire staff deeply cares about the children.

We’ve seen our son grow and learn so much during his time here. Even our pediatrician was impressed with his progress! One of my biggest fears was the 'constant daycare sickness' everyone warns you about, but we’ve only dealt with a few minor illnesses. I really credit that to how clean and sanitized they keep the facility.

The food program is a total game-changer. They provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks, and the menu is impressive—he’s eaten things like chicken cordon bleu! It has turned him into a fantastic eater at home because he’s exposed to so many flavors.

The facility is very safe and secure, which is always a top priority. I also love the personal touch—the front desk staff knows everyone by name, and they are always happy to answer any and all questions we have.

If you are looking for a place where your child will be safe and truly loved, I cannot recommend this Bright Horizons enough!”

“I highly recommend Totem Lake KinderCare! My child attended Pre-K here and we had a wonderful experience. All the teachers are incredibly kind, caring, and great with kids. They create a warm and supportive environment that made my child excited to go to school every day. The food provided is also good :)
The leadership team is very responsive and communicative, which we truly appreciated as parents. A special shoutout to Andrea Madrigal.. she is one of the best center directors I have come across. Her dedication and care really stand out.”

“Ms. Kassie is a professional and organized manager who maintains a calm, welcoming environment for both staff and families. her dedication to the children and the quality of the curriculum is exceptional.”

“The staff here is great my boys really have fun attending here. My oldest really connects with Mr.Vander & Mr.Oscar same goes for my youngest son he seems to really connect with Mr.Oscar. Overall I'm very pleased with the school and I'm excited to see my babies grow with them.”
