Our oldest attended Edmonds Montessori and currently our youngest attends. One of the benefits of…read morehaving our children in full time childcare at Main Street Kids in the same building is that the two schools take the kids back and forth. Without this unique partnership, it would be difficult to have them in the 3 hour EM program as a dual working parent household. Both have greatly benefited from the Montessori method. Our oldest was already reading and writing before kindergarten and has advanced fine motor skills from all the activities she was able to do during her time at EM. Our youngest is already on her way to early reading, writing and loves doing the self directed projects. Being able to adapt between the EM learning environment and a traditional preschool environment set our oldest up for success in kindergarten and I'm sure our youngest will be just as prepared. Both have developed confidence and a love for learning that we wholeheartedly attribute to the Montessori approach to learning. Christi, the owner, and the teachers (Ms. Ella, Ms. Hana) are wonderful and caring. Throughout the year, there are fun traditions to look forward to as well. Can't say enough good things about this school! If your kids are approaching age 3 or older/or if you're thinking ahead and interested, highly recommend touring and seeing it for yourself!

Edmonds Montessori is such a wonderful place for my children. The staff are excellent and the…read moreschool is very well run, calm and nurturing. One of my children has sensory needs and the structure and amazing teachers really helped her work through a lot of hurdles. She graduated with confidence personally and educationally for the next steps ahead. My other child loves being a part of the group and his favorite time of day is "circle time" where the children explore topics such as the sound of the week building on reading skills and socially sharing about different items from their homes. It's a pretty special place and we would highly recommend. For an extended morning, lunch bunch is a great way to make the session 1 hour longer and the kids get to eat together and play inside/outside after school.

I cannot say enough good things about the Children's Center. My oldest attended from age 3 until…read moreelementary and my middle loved his first year before a move took us out of state. Their policies and views on early education could not be better and I have always felt that my children were safe, encouraged, and happy in their care. Heather is always available for a chat and I appreciated that they held open communication in a high regard. Caring and attentive teachers that would often share the little details of my kiddos day.

From the owner: We are a Christian Early Childhood Education program that provides a nurturing and secure…read moreenvironment with enriching and developmentally appropriate experiences for children. Here at the Debbie Leraas Children's Center our philosophy is that children learn best through play. We have highly educated and experienced staff who use research-based practices to facilitate all types of play inside and outside of the classroom. We currently provide half day Preschool & Pre-k, full day Preschool and Pre-K as well as before and after school care for children in Kindergarten through 6th grade during the School Year and an incredible summer camp for Preschool, Pre-K and School-age in the summer months. We understand how important outdoor explorative play is to the health and development of children, that is why we provide our children with an extraordinary outdoor play area just steps outside of the classroom doors that includes an interactive water feature, a large sandpit surrounded in rustic wooden tree stumps, a climbing tree, trails through a fortress of greenery and native plants, a play structure, and completed with a beautiful brick pathway within the grassy play area. For our preschool and Pre-K classes we provide a twice-weekly chapel time, Spanish immersion learning, and for all members we provide numerous family events throughout the year. We are more than just a community, we are a family of Individuals that want nothing but the best care and education for our children.

In the time…read moreboth my girls have been enrolled (they are 4 and 1 years old) it's been amazing to watch them both flourish and grow- and I attribute the wonderful teachers and staff with a good part of that. They keep excellent communication through the app so while I'm at work every day I can keep up with all the fun things my kids are doing. It's been awesome at the end of the day being able to ask my 4 year old about specific things she did or learned that day. The owners are also incredibly friendly and transparent and their attention to detail is impressive. Four years into my parenting adventure and having my children enrolled here has been one of our best decisions.

We've had a great experience with Main Street Kids! Our daughter has been going there since she was…read morefour months old and the infant room staff especially, have been wonderful with her. She's transitioning to the one's room now and that has been a smooth and easy process so far. The staff are friendly, caring, and treat the kids like their own. It's definitely a little chaotic at times with so many kids running around, but I like knowing that it means that kids get to be, well, kids. The location can't be beat right in downtown Edmonds, and there's a huge play area outside for the kids to run around. We really love the staff and if/when we have another baby, we won't hesitate to have them here too. We looked at other daycare's in the area (got on every list in town early in our pregnancy since that's how it goes these days), and for the price and care we get, Main Street made the most sense for us, and we're really happy with our choice. As an added bonus, this daycare is in the Anderson Center in downtown Edmonds, so when the kids are old enough, they can take classes (soccer, dance, martial arts, etc.) and the instructors come get them from class and then return them a couple hours later, so there's no additional transportation needed from parents or a school bus. I know everyone's experience is different, but we've really enjoyed MSK and can't say enough good things about them!

Not only is the facility organized and clean, the teachers and staff are dependable and trustworthy. We trusted them with the safety of our children and their learning - academic and social.

As parents our children's happiness is our highest priority and GWU was in alignment with that. We highly recommend Grow with Us.
