“Our child loves it here. He runs to his classroom everyday and is excited to play with his classmates and be with his teachers. The staff are friendly, helpful, and communicative. The center is clean and the classrooms are cozy and bright. We've had a great experience over the last year here!”

“This KinderCare is absolutely amazing! Truly I love leaving my sweet angel baby girl here in such great care! The infant teacher Ms. Deepali is truly the best and made us feel comfortable bring our baby here from when she was 4 months and is now 10 months and thriving. She is so social and happy and is growing so well. Everyone loves her and treats her so well. I always get updates and pictures and anytime she’s ever been sick or not herself I’ve been notifies right away! Mr. Matt is a great center director and always has fun activities for the kids and sweet and kind events that help out families! Thank you for taking such good care of our sweet baby!”

“We had an amazing experience at Seattle Barista Academy during their 2-day professional barista training! This course was extremely helpful and provided so much valuable knowledge about espresso machines, crafting high-quality lattes and espresso based drinks, and even some creative and fun drinks.

A huge thank you to Paulo, our instructor, who was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient, encouraging, and engaging throughout the entire training. He made sure everyone in the class understood the techniques, answered all of our questions, and gave us hands-on experience that made a huge difference in our learning. His passion for coffee and teaching really showed!

If you’re looking to improve your barista skills, even if you are new to the coffee business, or an existing coffee business, or just to perfect your craft, I highly recommend Seattle Barista Academy. Their training is thorough, hands-on, and absolutely worth it. Thank you again to Paulo and the team for an unforgettable experience!”

“We’ve had a great experience at Kid’s Country. The staff is attentive and cares about the kids. Our son is always excited to go back and see his teachers and friends. We really appreciate the structure they provide, along with plenty of play and learning opportunities.

The facility is clean, safe, and organized, and we’ve seen real growth in our son’s social and emotional development since starting here. They also handle things such as meals and potty training support. The staff is open and friendly and works with parents with potty training and behavioral issues.

Highly recommend Kid’s country for any parent looking for a nurturing and dependable childcare.”

“My daughter is currently a student in the preschool program and I could not be happier! Who lives here from Maryland in the spring and they've been so welcoming all of the staff, the director and the children everybody was super happy the food is good it really is her second home ?”

“We moved to Washington from Hawaii in 2022 while I was 20 weeks pregnant with my third child. The first preschool that we chose for our then 3 year old was not a pleasant experience. I learned that I had to do more of my own due diligence before choosing the next school.Let me just say that I really felt like we struck gold with Pixie Hill. I am VERY grateful for the wonderful teachers (Ms Ashley, Ms Rebecca and Ms Bailey) at Pixie. It is because of them that my son has had such an enjoyable experience this last year. He asks us every day at pick up if he can stay at school longer, and even on the weekends - he looks forward to Mondays (cant say I feel the same haha).One thing that really sold me before we ever got to visit the school was the large back yard/play area, and knowing that the kiddos would be spending time outside everyday (rain or shine). The extra bonus is the location--not only is it accessible to Mercer Island families, but also convenient for families in Seattle and Bellevue.Wish we had more time at Pixie, but looking forward to when my youngest will be able to attend.”

“Was a little concerned when I first brought in my Son since he hadn't been in a facility daycare before and was wondering how he would cope but he loves it, am at peace knowing he is happy, thriving and well taken care of, we are so grateful to be part of this family, its clean, well organized, knowledgeable and friendly staff, variety of activities and healthy kid friendly meals, my only regret is I should have brought him much earlier.”

“The team here play a huge role in my child’s development just in the short time she’s been there. She’s taken care of, allowed to express her self and play with other kids her age. They offer dance and gym classes for my child which she loves and has inspired her personality so much here at home. I’m grateful to the teachers, staff and The director to know my child education and care is in good hands while getting as much socialization as she can??”

“I cannot say enough good things about Bright Horizons Mercer Island! Our experience has been amazing, thanks to the incredible team who go above and beyond daily. Their dedication to our son's growth and well-being has given us confidence we made the best choice.

Savannah and Sarah made us feel like part of the Bright Horizons family when we enrolled. Their professionalism and dedication to creating a safe, nurturing, and educational environment are evident every day.

Ms. Behnaz is uniquely impressive. Her warmth and kindness make every kid feel unique and loved. She has a magical way of making learning fun and engaging, and our son comes home excited to show what he did that day. Ms. Benhaz's calming nature has positively impacted our son's development.

Ms. Magdalena is another superstar at this daycare. His energy and enthusiasm are contagious! She creates engaging activities that keep kids active and entertained. She truly cares about each kid and ensures they feel included and valued.

Ms. Tammy rounds out this fantastic trio. Her patience and dedication are unparalleled. She has a unique talent for connecting with the kids and helping them navigate their emotions. Ms. Tammy has been critical in gently and effectively helping our son with his challenging moments.

We couldn't be happier with our choice, Bright Horizons Mercer Island, and are so grateful for the team's patience and dedication during our son's journey from three to five years old. I highly recommend Bright Horizons to parents looking for a place where they genuinely care about their kid's growth and happiness. Thank you, Behnaz, Magdalena, Tammy, Sarah, and Savannah!”

“I went to a local event here, and it was absolutely fabulous. I am so thankful there are still venues for small artists to gather and share the arts with others.”

“There are not enough words to describe how wonderful this place is! My son has been at East Hill Kindercare for almost 2 years and we have really enjoyed the experience. Ms. Abby (Director) is always there for parents and you can tell that she loves being in the class with kids too! She is just amazing!
All the teachers have also been a blessing in my son’s life. He comes home talking about them all the time. As a mom, the most important thing for me is to see my child happy and enjoying his time at school, and I can say for sure he gets that everyday! He has also learned so many life skills, communication and academics!

Our family loves this place and its AMAZING team!”

“Our child has attended for 2+ years and loves the teachers and their classmates. The directors and teachers are professional, communicate well and address any concerns proactively. Love seeing all the kids art in the walls and getting updates on the app throughout the day, too!”

“Our daughter has been attending this daycare since she was an infant. All the teachers are very kind and my daughter loves spending time at the daycare. Big shoutout to Ms Kayla in Tod A who is amazing!”

“The staff at Grace Children’s Center have been nothing short of loving, caring, kind, informative, communicative and warm from day one. They love our son and care for him in ways that leave me confident he is safe, nurtured, and learning. From outside time to water play, story time to nap time, socializing to individual engagement, we are grateful for their attention to each kid and their care for all.”

“Teachers are devoted, assuring kids are kept safe and in a learning environment. On a daily basis I see how the Teachers care so much for each little one, when they walk in the classroom, we are fortunate to have found Denise, and there is such a strong mixed culture.”

“I don’t have any kids that go here, but my partner lives in the apartments right above bright horizons and the teachers seem engaging and adorable. It makes me chuckle to hear the conversations that take place.”

“I’ve had 3 kids in this center and got to know the teachers and love them! My kids went to this center for about 4.5 years. I love the art work my kids would bring home and the pictures and videos I was able to see daily.the reports through out the day on the app are awesome and helpful too! The director and assistant are amazing also anytime I had an issue they were on top of fixing it or figuring it out!”

“1) I like the vending machine snacks. There are vampires here but they keep it low-key.

2) Kind of irritated that the light wizards here dont teach you thunderbolt in the first year but if you let impatience overcome you that's the easiest way to turn evil. At least that's what the wizards say. Anyway I went to school here and can tell you many of the staff here are kind and want to teach you the way of light. Do not listen to evil wizards that whisper into your mind from the bowels of the underground cave system. They're supposed to be there to temp you to stray from the light and if you listen you will be turned into a conduit for evil.”

“My child loves it here! I can tell she has fun and enjoys spending time with her teachers and other kids in her class. I also love how much the teachers and staff care about children. It is really apparent that they want what’s best for them.”

“Must be awesome! Last July, walked by and caught a glimpse of outdoor backside training gym they had set up. That day there was also a young Asian man who was about 6.5 and had 4ft wide pecs. Hunk! Reason alone to go and get slim!”

“I highly recommend Little Multilingual! The loving and caring staff create a supportive, multilingual environment where my child has thrived. It’s a fantastic place for growth and learning.”

“Love this BH center! My son was here from the age of 2-4 (early preschool, preschool, kindergarten prep). All his teachers were amazing at every single grade level. They made him feel loved and they really cared. Even to this day, when he visits (he’s in kindergarten), everyone greets him with big hugs and so much love. The facility is huge and there are over 600 kids, but even the staff at the front greets him by his name. Our daughter was in the infant class and her teachers were amazing as well.

My child developed a passion for art and love for learning here. He was incredibly prepared for kindergarten. Also, fwiw every kindergarten teacher that we talked to (when searching for schools) said BH kids are always well prepared for kindergarten.

The center itself is a great space - I especially love the outdoor space. There is a ton of greenery. The location is not at all convenient for us anymore but we cannot find another daycare that is comparable. It’s also one of the few/only daycares open from 7a - 6pm near us. It gives us a lot of flexibility.

Highly recommend this BH location!”

“We haven't been there is a few years, but really miss it there. This was the best daycare we've had. They keep the kids active and do a lot of activities with the kids. My son loved being there. The teachers were very good with the kids and fed the kids good food.The owners are great people and take pride in their business.I was just talking to my so. About Root to wings. We both miss it. It's too bad that a lot of other places here in kent dosent do the same.”
