Schools in Renton, WA

“We are delighted to send our 4 year old son here for summer camps. He did full 2 months of weekly camps this year. All Teachers and the owner of the place are exceptionally kind, warm, cheerful, welcoming and radiate positive energy that has a great influence on kids.
The classes are full of activities, learning, music, dance, arts and crafts, games..a great exposure to all forms of learning. Our son looks forward to going there everyday. Few times during pick up they involved the parents in some fun activities with our kid and they were totally memorable experiences for us.
This place is a true gem!!! Highly recommend.”

“My experience from the start has been wonderful. My son started care in the Infants room at 3 months old with Ms.Perla who is literally AMAZING! Especially with infants. I always felt my baby was happy, healthy, safe, and LOVED. This daycare has the best, most caring, and loving teachers from Ms.Perla to Ms.Carolyn, and Ms.Angela. I can’t say enough how much myself, my husband and our son feel very lucky to have found this place!! I feel very comfortable and secure knowing how well my child is cared for here. I like that they take pride in feeding the children all healthy foods.

The Director Whitney is VERY FRIENDLY and CARING and ALWAYS SO WELCOMING.

I highly recommend this center for your little one(s) & if there isn’t any space left; join the waitlist. You’ll be glad you did!

Thank you ALL for everything ?”

“This center and it's staff have been a part of my family for a little over 4 years. I came here desperate with an infant and toddler. I had to abruptly remove my children from another center and was overwhelmed with the thought of a 2 year old transitioning in a new environment. Ms. Patrician and Ms. Elizabeth were so warm and welcoming. I felt at ease from the first meeting.Fast forward my kids are still there happy and thriving. The teachers here know my children and their little personalities Ms. Patricia works hard to make sure she hires teachers who are committed to working with children and preparing them for real life scenarios. We work as a team to ensure whatever comes up or challenges they are having that we are on the same page.With this pandemic this center remained open to help essential workers continue to work! They have been accommodating and understanding while putting themselves at risk. I am and will forever be grateful to this center and all of the staff.”

“We cannot be more pleased with a childcare facility. The teachers are incredible, the kids here are a hoot and inclusive, and amazingly, Circle Time keeps prices reasonable. I feel safe when my kids are at Circle time, and I feel like the teachers truly love the kids they take care of every day.”

“My daughter really enjoys coming to daycare and loves all the teachers she had so far. They are very caring and kind to the children and show her a lot of love everyday. She learns a lot of songs, sign language and talks a ton about her day at school. They do lots of activities that keep them busy.”

“My family has been apart of this center since my oldest was a toddler. I absolutely love this center and the staff here. The director and assistant director are very communicative and helpful with every interaction I have had with them. The staff members from infant to their school aged staff have been absolutely wonderful. They supported my oldest while she had a difficult time with drop offs in the morning, encouraged her to explore, and make new friends. They are current partners when it comes to problem solving my youngest refusing a bottle through out the day.I am very grateful for everyone at this center. I am sad to see my oldest leaving this center as she and my family have had a wonderful time with her time here. In the meantime, I love that I still have a few more years here.”

“I could not rave more about how wonderful this school is! My child has made developmental leaps in their communication and social skills and it is thanks to the many dedicated and wonderful teachers at Meadow Crest. My child previously had no school or daycare experience and this was their first time not being under a family members care. They were understandably hesitant and anxious, but within a week were begging to go to school. For an entire school year I have dropped off and picked the happiest child who wakes up every day and asks if they have school. Dont think twice this is a wonderful program for any child.

Everyone weve interacted with is great but special shout out to Ms. Amanda who is fantastic and fostered a love for school in my child.”

“I love this center! The teachers and staff have been such a positive force in our family’s life. My son started here as an infant and is almost 4. He has disabilities and has needed various accommodations throughout his life. The staff members have always carefully listened to our needs and done everything in their power to help my son learn, grow, and thrive. I am always amazed watching them adapt to his ever changing routine. My son has so much fun and has hit many milestones with the help of the staff. They send daily pictures and updates and I look forward to seeing him smiling and having fun with his friends. I recommend this center to everyone I know!”

“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!”

“We needed back-up care for 2 days for my 6 month old and this Childtime was amazing. They were incredibly flexible with my schedule, and even though we were only going to be there for two days they treated me and my baby like we were regulars. I am so grateful for them and the fabulous care they provided to both me and my little one.”

“Great people, good Union. Check the other locals to see what fits your needs before you sign up though. This local puts you on a 4 day week while you go to school. Other apprenticeship programs do school a week at a time so you can at least collect unemployment while you're out of work for school. 46 has a lot of work though, in 4 years I haven't been laid off for more than a week and have had a lot of overtime. There's also distance to consider (commuting cost) and book cost. You can't choose WHERE in the local you're going to work. They charge you about 800$ per quarter for books and tuition. Some locals don't do that or the union covers it. The retirement and pension are strong.The program seems to attract great electricans to teach, they are electricans though.Not professional educators. Adjust your expectations accordingly. Office staff is top notch.”

“My 2.5 year old goes here and they work well with her she likes going to kindercare. They have great teachers that really care about your childs development and i appreciate that. They pay attention to detail and also allergies.”

“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 absolutely love Family Circle! We've been there over a year now. We feel sooo lucky to have found it when our Nanny Share wasnt working out for us anymore. The teachers and staff are incredibly warm, caring, and attentive, making it a wonderful place for my daughter to learn and grow.she always runs right to them in the mornings for a hug. We have a whole gallery wall in our kitchen now from creative art projects she does. (She's 2) Our friends and family are always impressed her how well she talks and counts and how much she knows at such a young age and we know it's partly because she's at school playing and learning during the day while we have to work.

The center is clean, well-organized, and communicates with us reall well through the Brightwheel app. I also appreciate that they use the Creative Curriculum and have thoughtful family style meals.

I have worked in Educatiom for over 20 years and I was really nervous about finding a loving and safe program for my little. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she is in such good hands. If you're looking for a loving and enriching child care center, I highly recommend Family Circle.”
