St. Alphonsus has a half-day preschool class and two full-day preschool classes which shows how much this school is growing! St. Al's is diverse and welcoming of all religions and family dynamics.

Our daughter, Aviana, joined Willow Tree in 2021, during COVID, as part of the first Tiger class…read morewhen she was three years old. After a wonderful nanny-share at home--where we could closely observe and control every aspect of her day--my wife and I were understandably nervous about transitioning her to preschool. We did extensive research and toured nearly ten preschools and daycares. Willow Tree immediately stood out. From the very beginning, it was clear that the director, Liu, and the entire staff were genuinely loving and attentive caregivers. From her first day, Aviana loved going to school. Her development accelerated noticeably--she made friends, gained confidence, and even happily ate the school-made lunches. We initially had questions about the Mandarin immersion program and whether it might delay Aviana's English development. Liu reassured us that the opposite would be true, explaining that children's brains at that age are "like sponges," capable of absorbing far more than we often realize. She was absolutely right. Aviana's English continued to flourish, and her Mandarin grew from zero to a working knowledge of the language--truly incredible. To sum it up: if we had to do it all over again, we would choose Willow Tree without hesitation. Two years later, we enrolled our younger daughter, Amelia, when she was just a year and a half old. She began in the Bunny class, moved on to Penguin, and is now in Tiger. She loves it. Her Mandarin is now as strong as her English, even though we speak only English at home. On more than one occasion, I've caught Amelia dreaming in Mandarin--a constant reminder of how much she has learned in such a short time. Willow Tree has provided an exceptional academic and developmental foundation for both of our girls, along with a truly welcoming and supportive community. As Amelia prepares to graduate, we know we'll remain connected through the friendships our daughters have built and the families we've come to know beyond the classroom. We couldn't be more grateful for Willow Tree.

The kids enjoy diverse, nutritious meals and plenty of snacks, and teachers can really spend quality time with each child thanks to a good teacher-to-student ratio. Daily lessons and activities--from storytime and art to music, movement, and outdoor play--keep children engaged, while elective classes and special workshops give them extra chances to explore new skills. Graduation performances and holiday events are thoughtfully planned, letting kids have fun and show their growth and talents. The director is supportive, and the team is full of patience, care, and dedication. I'm proud to be part of it.

Our family could not be more pleased with our experiences at Pacific Crest School (PCS)…read more From the amazing staff to the fantastic roster of teachers to the incredible community of adults and children, PCS has been so good to our entire family. Our two kids (now in the fabulous Middle School) have been at PCS since Elementary and have blossomed and thrived in this wonderful environment. If you're looking for a K-8 Montessori school in Seattle, I can't recommend PCS enough.

I went to Pacific Crest all the way up to 8th grade, and my experience there was overwhelmingly…read morepositive. I actually tear up a little thinking of how much I loved going there, and how unusual it is to love your teachers and your fellow students so much during middle school (often such a stressful time in a child's life). The teachers are astoundingly supportive and I always felt that I could trust them with anything. The school itself felt like home; it was warm and bright, with plenty of natural light coming in through the windows and skylights. Memories that stick out in my mind: the solstice celebration, where we'd carry candles to commemorate the turning of the seasons; volunteering at the soup kitchen; working and playing at the farm (this school has its own farm!!); performing in plays and absolutely loving it; getting my face painted at the end-of-the-year celebration... Pacific Crest loves celebrations, and it should, because celebrations are wonderful and really strengthen the community. I feel that I am a more empathetic, creative, and tranquil person because of my upbringing at PCS. If I could go back and relive all my time at this school, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend that you send your children here.

Communication from staff is excellent, every one of our concerns (very few) has always been addressed promptly. Every teacher seems to know every child's name. Although the assistant teachers change, the head teachers do not and this seems to keep continuity with no interruptions. There are more teachers than required by law and this really makes a difference. We've come in at all kinds of odd times of the day and in contrast to other childcare facilities (kid has gone to two others), the staff never seem to be struggling, it feels like a low stress environment, and the noise in the classroom is notably low. I would have loved this school as a child.

My now 5-year old is graduating to kindergarten but his little sister has been here since she turned 2.5. Teachers Kerry and Andrew run a compassionate preschool with lots of exploration play, unstructured time outside, weekly themes, art, healthy food, and so much emotional intelligence education. The school is small (one mixed-age class), which means the big kids learn to care for the little kids. My kids are delightful, polite, and caring humans and I credit this school with almost all of that influence. If you're reading the reviews (which are old), know they are no longer drop-in, and masks are only worn after a community exposure event, though they were previously worn 100% of the time for almost 2 years of covid.

My 2-year-old son loves this preschool. We initially heard about OTS when they moved to our…read moreneighborhood. We had been on the waiting list for another daycare for over two years already, and when our second arrived three weeks early, we decided to give it a try. At the time, our son was acting out and very jealous of his new sister. His enrollment at OTS has really helped his transition from only child to big brother. While it's always difficult sending a child to school for the first time, I couldn't imagine a more nurturing environment for him. Teacher Kerry and Teacher Andrew are absolutely wonderful with the kids. I love their focus on emotional intelligence because it was what my son needed at the time--and truly what any child this age needs. I also noticed that his manners have improved tremendously since he started attending their school. Although we had been working consistently with him on manners, he would often need reminders. After a few months at OTS, everything finally clicked, and he even asks to be excused from the dinner table. Aside from good manners, his imagination has really taken off and he engages more in pretend play. Prior to his time at OTS, he was very needy and always asked one of us to play with him. Now he exhibits more independence and takes the lead in pretend play. I believe the small, intimate, home environment of OTS has really enabled him to thrive. It's like his home away from home, and I know he thinks of Teacher Andrew, Teacher Kerry and the other kids like family. I'd highly recommend OTS to any parent, but particularly to those whose kids are leaving home for the first time. What a wonderful find.
