“I couldn't be happier with our experience at Lil' People World - Seattle! Our son, X absolutely loved his time here. The teachers and staff created such a great environment that made learning fun and exciting for him. By the age of 4, my son was already able to write his first name, which is a testament to the excellent education and personalized attention he received. We are so grateful for the incredible foundation Lil' People World has provided him. Highly recommend this wonderful preschool to any parent looking for a caring and supportive place for their child to grow and learn!”

“We have loved our time at Kiddie Academy. After a rocky transition from nanny to daycare we found ourselves searching for a new place to send our toddler - we are so thankful to have found kiddie. The staff is friendly and accommodating—they all know my childs name and we feel connected to the school.

Beyond the great childcare, KA offer parent connects and weekend activities that have allowed us to meet other parents and establish a community within the school. My child loves going to school and had made many friends, learned a ton, and successfully potty trained. Happy we found KA.”

“Kidzspace daycare was suggested to me by a dear friend. My daughter started going to Kidzspace in 2021. My daughter adores Ms Devi( she is the teacher at Kidzspace). Ms Devi is epitome of patience, skills and creativity. My daughter enjoys reading, writing and playing with her friends. Ms Devi is super creative with her monthly activity. Ms Devi is very professional and also sends us photos of their everyday activities. She always goes above and beyond in helping all the kids at her daycare. We love kidzspace. My daughter will be going to kindergarten soon and she is going to miss Ms Devi so much and is well prepared by Ms Devi. Words will fall short in describing the amazing experience we had at Kidzspace.”

“Our family’s been at NQACC for one year and it’s been a wonderful experience. The teachers provide excellent programming and 1:1 attention. All of the staff seem to genuinely love working with the kids and families…would highly recommend!”

“The Belltown Bright Horizons location has been an incredible experience for our family. The staff and admin here are truly wonderful — warm, supportive, and genuinely invested in the children’s well-being. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to help kids grow in all areas.

In my child’s class, Briceda, Amberlee, and Ashley are exceptional. They are kind, caring, and always have the children’s best interests at heart. I love how, during drop-offs, they get down to the child’s level, offer a hug, and talk about their feelings. They teach kids how to regulate emotions through breathing exercises, finger tracing, and reading wonderful books about feelings. It’s such a gift to see kids learning emotional skills at such a young age.

The class activities are also outstanding — from creative projects to dedicated Music, Movement, and Art days each week.

The leadership team, Bridget and Angela and Alexa, who have worked together for a long time, are equally amazing. I truly believe their strong leadership is the reason this center runs so smoothly and has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

I can’t recommend the Belltown Bright Horizons enough!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with the infant daycare at BH Interbay and feel so grateful for the incredible care our daughter received. Her teachers, Aimee and Anxhela, were amazing—so kind, personable, and truly attentive, especially as our little one needed some extra support with feeding. We want to especially recognize Anxhela, who went above and beyond every single day. She was always so loving, attentive, and on top of everything, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing our daughter was in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better start for our child!”

“At Interlake kids are really at the center of things. My preschooler knows the names of the admin team as well as the teachers in her classroom, because they all really want to spend time around kids. I have found Interlake community members adaptable, interested in child safety and development, diversity-minded, and kind. The staff and teachers are eager to work with parents, and the emergent curriculum lets children lead and succeed.The facility is a quirky old house that lends itself to phrases like "drop off is at the hobbit door". That space, combined with the great meals cooked in-house each day, give the center a homey feel. Inside the preschool classrooms there are traditional tiny tables and activity spaces for free play, as well as quiet 'loft' spaces filled with soft materials and sensory toys for times when kids need a space to themselves. Emotional learning is as much a part of the day as drawing and dramatic play. Each age group has a large play space outdoors, with toys as well as natural materials to explore in all seasons. At pick up time, it's hard to convince my kiddo to leave these spaces!”

“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.”

“We enrolled our oldest at Concordia mid year in 2023 and have since enrolled our younger child. We love the community, the focus on academic mastery, and the small class sizes that mean each child is challenged and no one is falling through the cracks.”

“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!”

“I am thrilled to give Seattle Waldorf School a glowing five-star rating. This educational institution stands out for its holistic and child-centered approach to education. Seattle Waldorf School creates a nurturing and inspiring environment where students are encouraged to explore their creativity, engage in hands-on learning, and develop a deep love for knowledge.

With its emphasis on imagination, critical thinking, and fostering a sense of social responsibility, Seattle Waldorf School is truly a remarkable institution that helps students thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.”

“We are a new family at NKS Greenwood and are absolutely loving it. Our daughter adores her teachers and comes home from school happy, filthy and tired (just the way we like it!) Faculty and staff are supportive, responsive and caring. Highly recommend.”

“We’ve had a wonderful experience at Chiara! The teachers are incredibly caring and helpful—they truly go above and beyond to support the children and families. It’s clear that the staff is deeply dedicated to the well-being and growth of every child at the school.

What also stands out is how motivated and hands-on the owners have been. You can really see the love and effort being put into upgrading and beautifying the space, making it not just functional but also warm and inviting for the kids.

Overall, Chiara feels like a place where children are genuinely nurtured, and where the entire team is passionate about creating a positive and enriching environment. We’re so grateful to be part of this community!”

“I have two kids who attended/currently attend TCS and we have had an excellent experience. My oldest started part way through the year and from day one, we felt so welcome, not just from the teachers and staff but the parents as well. It really feels like a friendly community. The staff is wonderful: warm and encouraging. This year they have brought in music and art specialists as well. They follow an emergent curriculum so my children were always very engaged and excited.”

“I’ve been a ukulele student with Seattle Drum School for several years. It’s awesome to have a coach that meets me where I’m at. The SDS is a welcoming community for all.”

“We started our daughter at SELC A1 when she was 5 months old and have really loved our time there. Our daughter really liked her infant class teachers and would pump her arms with excitement at drop-off. SELC A1 was so helpful in doing a slow transition to the toddler room, which was a bit overwhelming for our daughter at the beginning. She warmed up to it and now loves it. The staff seem to genuinely like the kiddos and enjoy their jobs. They do fun activities with the kids and take them outside quite a bit. We get lots of great updates throughout the day and the teachers are always happy to chat at drop-off and pick-up. The kids all seem happy, too. There are lots of smiling happy faces in pictures. Though I don't have a lot of experience with other daycares, SELC A1 feels very organized and the communication is great, which I really appreciate. It was something I noted from the very beginning of our search. It feels like everyone is paying attention and doing their best to provide quality care and service. Daycare everywhere is expensive; SELC A1 is worth the cost---good staff, happy kiddos--what more could you want.”

“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.”

“Our son went to Agape from infant (5 months) to when we moved (2 years old). There are high standards here which I loved - no shoes past the door, wash hands upon arrival, and keeping kids home (and sent home) if they are sick to prevent the spread further. I can also say that I honestly felt like the director (Linda) really loved our son. It was pretty sweet how much he adored her.”

“My daughter was commenting in the car about how many happy memories she has from her time at Small Faces. She has been attending since preschool and is now in the after-school program. This place is a gem. The teachers are wonderful. ❤️”

“We had 3 children attend Northgate kinder care, all three started at about 4-6 months old. Our oldest was 4 when we moved across the country, and our younger twins were 1.5.

Our experience was overwhelmingly positive. The leadership of Jenny gave us confidence that if any issues or conflicts were to arise, she would handle them properly and keep everyone safe and happy. Then, the teachers were extremely caring and invested in our children. As our oldest went from classroom to classroom, her previous teachers were always interested in saying hello to her and showing her love and support.
Specifically, Ms. Rahel in the infant class was so great to all of our girls, Ms Laila in toddler class was always there to give a hug for our oldest, Ms Samira started working on the same day our twins started, and she had an obvious bond with them, Ms Katie and Ms Maddie in psb really made our oldest love coming to school every day, and Ms Tay, who always welcomed us at the front door with a huge smile.

The hardest part of our decision to move away from Seattle was leaving behind this network of people who cared so deeply for our kids. I highly recommend this place for childcare because of their director, and compassionate, caring teachers.”

“Our kid - now three has been with KinderCare since 6 months and has loved her time there. They have become a second home for her. We have had some great teachers over the year and they shown love to her as if their own. Yes, staff turnover has been high at times but that seems to be a wider industry issue, it’s a tough job.
We enjoy getting the photos and updated, and of late our LO has loved the dance class. The seasonal little festivals have been a good way to meet the other kiddos and parents. We have had no issues and management has always been helpful.
Appreciate the application process when many other schools were vague and we waited over a year.
Thanks every one there”
