Review based solely on Rainbow Hop experiences 2018 and 2019:…read more Such a fun way to step out of the sun and heat, take a seat and watch the Children's joy and happiness as they moved to music on a ballon-filled dance floor. Kids were giggling and squealing with delight, kicking tossing and running through balloons. And if that wasn't enough, on the way out, we were offered a tiny cup of "pride Os!" (Fruit Loops). Staff were friendly and welcoming and seemed so happy to see and dance with the kids.

I owe my daughter's growing excitement about hoops to Pat at Home Court!…read more When my 5th grade daughter decided to switch from soccer to basketball this fall, I thought it would be good to introduce her to the basics. I looked at their website and chose a session on basic skills. When I went in to sign her up, though, Pat (the owner) recommended a different session that would give her scrimmage experience. My daughter was a bit uncomfortable for the first few sessions and even said she wanted to quit (!), but suddenly, about halfway through, she started to feel more confident about her skills. She ended up loving it! I wouldn't have thought that this was the right session for her - which is why I'm giving 4 stars. A good facility is one thing, but having the staff expertise available to point kids in the best direction is what's important.

Since my goal was an ironman I was looking for a coach for open water swimming and was happy to teach me in the lake. She is super easy going and was able to make me feel comfortable pretty quickly.

We are also able to adjust our schedules if needed if work or life gets in the way without any hassle! Overall I'd definitely recommend Squid swimming!

Our toddler has been attending CLCC for about half a year now, and we could not have been happier…read more We are constantly amazed to discover the many things she has learnt to do as such a little person. Having gone through the day care search process and researched/ called / visited dozens of them in Seattle, I realized how difficult it was to find a pleasant & reliable care provider as a first-time parent, and I feel so grateful to have my child enrolled at CLCC, a gem in the U District that stands out among its peers. Here are a few highlights that come on top of my mind: 1. The teachers and staff express genuine affection and interest in the children. I can see my child feels very happy and safe around them. Even on her first day, my 15-month old quickly established connection with her teachers. And within a few weeks, she became very much attached to them and was even interacting cheerfully with the teachers from the elder classrooms. 2. Diverse activities throughout the day to engage the children in learning, singing, dancing, art, walking around the campus, reading books, etc and I love it that they encourage the kids to express themselves in different activities and social scenarios. They thoughtfully kept a collection of my toddler's "art work" over the past few month to bring home, which is cute and precious. 3. The children learn to practise a lot of basic life skills in their daily routine. From taking off jacket/shoes and placing them in the right place in the morning, to sitting properly for meals/snacks at table, cleaning up after meal, washing hands before/after meals, to taking out blanket for afternoon nap, etc. I was totally impressed when I watched a roomful of kids doing these all by themselves at a lunch visit. 4. Very accessible & responsive administration. Michelle, the director, was really fast at responding to enrolment inquiries and scheduling a tour for me(before finding CLCC, I contacted some other daycare centers that respond very slowly or sound impatient, and ask for a waiting list fee ). Fabulous job in efficiently maintaining the wait list and for replying to emails and answering the phone calls quickly. It really means a lot for parents that are anxious to nail down a good care. 5. Though it is a program of the UCUCC church, they are open to the entire community and not limited to church members, and, they don't impose religious content in the curriculum. As a non-religious person, I feel grateful to the UCUCC and the entire staff for running this excellent program and making it available to the entire community. Thanks to all the CLCC teachers and staff for your good work. Please keep it up and keep it rolling !

Often you'll find kids playing soccer just outside on the large field, and a game of basketball on the outdoor courts. A great Playground is also near the community center so kids can play and explore before or after their classes.

Opportunities exist for reduced price entry and lessons, too, if applicant is qualified.

After 6 weeks of sprint lessons (4 days per week) my 3.5 yo daughter is beginning to swim independently. This summer she went from comfortable in the water to swimming with confidence and excitement. The coaches are both gentle and firm with clear instructions, appropriate energy for little kids. They have a great sense of social and emotional coaching as well. Whether your kid is nervous or excited this is a great fit! I've been over the moon with Sam (the owner) and his two other instructors Annie and Charlie. Each one has their own style, but a consistent methodology and technique. My daughter has responded positively to all coaches. It's easy to move with and coaches and still see results. We just transitioned from 6 weeks of sprint lessons to weekly lessons with much success. When I take her in the water on my own she can successfully backfloat, glide and swim to the wall. she loves jumping in, putting her face in the water and wearing her goggles. I have two 13 month old twins and the fact that my oldest is beginning to swim successfully on her own it's a huge relief for our future water excursions. These lessons are an excellent base to get your kid comfortable with the water, putting their eyes in, jumping in, wearing goggles, how to breathe and not take in water and learning safety techniques like flipping from front to back/back to front and floating. Last summer we did 2 weeks of Sprint lessons when she was two and a half which made her much more comfortable with putting both her eyes and head in the water. It allowed me to take her swimming weekly all year

Our experience with Seattle Swim Academy was amazing…read more My three kiddos had Bella and each one of them loved her. She was firm in a loving and patient way. She was fun and knew how to make the things they were working on enjoyable. Lastly, she was professional. She was diligent in making sure the strokes, techniques, and things the kids were doing were done right. I was so impressed and have never witnessed a better swim instructor. My mom, who had six kids, also watched two lessons, and said the same thing. Lastly, I have dear friends who have also had Sam and Emily, and they share the same sentiment as above. Thanks for everything. One of my children (4.5) basically learned how to swim in six sessions, and my other two (6 & 8) who knew how to in part, learned correct strokes, safety measures, and how to dive. It was a joy and pleasure to use you guys for our swimming lessons. Thanks for everything Seattle Swim Academy!!!
