“The team top to bottom is proactive, flexible, and excellent communication. I love how every teacher greets our children by name in the hallway. Their teachers plan amazing learning experiences and encourage independence. I feel like a partner with my kids teachers and they are truly committed to my children’s development.”
“Our son Benjamin started at The Goddard School when he was just over one year old, and now, at five, he's heading off to kindergarten. As excited as we are for this next chapter, it’s truly bittersweet to say goodbye to a place that has meant so much to our family.
Over the past four years, the teachers at Goddard have not only cared for Benjamin, but helped shape the amazing boy he is becoming. Through their patience, professionalism, and deep dedication, they’ve nurtured his growth into a responsible, curious, understanding, smart, and loving child. Every positive trait he exhibits today is, in some way, connected to the values and culture instilled at this school.
To all the incredible teachers: thank you. Thank you for putting your hearts into what you do every single day. You may not hear it often enough, but we want you to know how deeply grateful we are for your impact—not just on Benjamin, but on all the children and families lucky enough to walk through your doors. What you do is nothing short of extraordinary.
And a special thank you to Kalis, the owner, for creating such a strong, caring, and joyful environment. You've built a remarkable team and community. Our past four years at Goddard have been filled with warmth, growth, and peace of mind—and we can’t thank you enough for that.
With sincere gratitude,
Benjamin’s parents,
Sean and Lynn”
“The staff who work at this center feel like family to us. I can tell how much our son loves all the teachers and I take such great comfort in knowing that he’s in good hands every day. My daughter recently started in the infant room and the teachers have been so loving to her and communicative with our family. Another recent review mentioned a baby crying uncontrollably with no teacher assisting but this has never been my experience with the infant room. The staff are very attentive and engaging and patient. I am so thankful for this center and the wonderful teachers!”
“Enrolling our daughter at Sammamish Montessori was the best decision we could have made. She's become so independent and learned to play and explore on her own. The staff and management are incredibly caring and supportive. They went above and beyond for us when we had a family situation. Staffs and teachers helped us immensely by taking care of our daughter, allowing us to focus on the situation at hand.”
“My son loves his teachers here. The assistant directors who greet us everyday really show how much they care about the children. He always comes home happy. They provide a lot of activities that develop skills in all areas of life. I can see cracks in some areas where they are understaffed, but I don’t feel like my child has ever been neglected. Sometimes what they might do in a situation isn’t what I would do myself. I have a lot of trust in the processes in place to protect and educate my child.”
“I am impressed with their ability to foster an inclusive community, with staff looking to understand and support different family dynamics for the benefit of the children.”
“I have had a wonderful experience with Kindercare and Rosehill Daycare. The teachers are professional, welcoming, and attentive, consistently going the extra mile in every aspect of childcare. Whenever we enter the facility, all the staff greet us warmly and help us transition smoothly. They pay special attention to details such as food preparation, organizing supplies, and promptly informing families.
In my experience and observations, the children are provided with age-appropriate, educational, and engaging activities. The management excels at keeping the facility clean and organized. Every teacher and staff member knows each child’s name and consistently gives them caring attention. They always organize fantastic programs, such as book reading days and summer activities, that enrich the children's experiences. Overall, we are delighted with our experience and look forward to more.”
“We had a wonderful experience in back-up care program. Miss Emy has been absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, her gentle and thoughtful approach helped my kid feel safe and comfortable. We were especially touched to see (via camera) that during nap times, she would softly pat him and gently stroke his head to help him fall asleep. These small gestures meant so much and truly showed how deeply she cares for the children.”
“Our experience here for the last one month has been great. The teachers have been very supportive of my child's needs and the management has been prompt in responding to our emails in terms of communication.”
“We used Kiddie Academy Redmond for two years. Hours were great for SpaceX employees. Front staff is very quick to respond same day. Teachers love the children as their own (Supernova/Saturn)

“What is the grilled cheese recipe Mr Juan makes? That is the only one I like”
“I love you! I love you” (to both her teachers)”
