All three of my children have attended this daycare since infancy. The same woman has worked in the…read moreinfant room and watched all three of them and she is great. All of my kids' teachers are super friendly, communicate well, and are just honestly such good people and are so deserving. My children are very comfortable with them because most have been there for years. They are flexible with specific dietary restrictions, they have outings, engaging activities, and an open door on the office for welcoming communication. The staff has even seen my kid having a meltdown in the parking lot and came out to help. The negative reviews on here are wildly dramatic and paint an inaccurate portrait. I would never have my kids attend a center I thought to be subpar. If you tour the place, you will get a homey feel from it right away. It was the only place I felt comfortable with when I was touring daycares years ago. And here we are, 5 years later.

I don't like to leave negative reviews. So just consider this as informational!…read more This is a DAYCARE! They try to say they are a school but they certainly are NOT. Until the 4 year old pre K "class". They are just letting kids play just like any daycare. They close for July 5th because "THE KIDS ARE TOO TIRED TO LEARN SO ITS NOT A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT". This is a direct quote from the director Michelle. Things were much different under the old director Garnet. They are closing early today because a staff member passed away suddenly and they need "time to grieve as a team". I'm sorry for the loss of your staff member but less than a days notice for families to have to find arrangements or tell their employers that they have to leave work early is beyond ridiculous! We have all lost people in our lives and understand grief but literally needing to conveniently take off half a day early on Halloween sounds a bit suspect to me. Is anyone getting a discount for the time that the daycare is closing for? They have "teacher in service days" where the daycare is closed and you are paying for this time as well! So you have to take off work or pay for someone else to provide care. YOU ARE PAYING TWICE! I absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND Family Circle learning center in Renton.

Be warned that Harmony staff have very outdated practices, no video monitoring, no photos or…read morewritten daily communication, etc. The way they use language to the children definitely does not align with gentle parenting techniques. It's very rude, like barking orders. They are very rigid with their teaching practices and there is very little variety in the activities that are provided at this facility. Regarding the lack of video monitoring, photos, and regular communication, that is something I have seen in most other daycares/preschools in the area. Many of which communicate through apps, sending photos and notes as well as allowing livestream video monitoring during certain time windows. Just very shocked that Harmony does not provide any of that at all and have been very closed off in communication with parents. If you're looking for staff who will be partners in your child's wellbeing or education, you ought to look elsewhere.

I highly recommend your kids NOT go here. Here's my story. Kinda long but worth it…read more I started off by putting my 3 y/o in this daycare center. Everything was going OK. No big concerns besides kids being bullies. Then I put my school age kids (2) in. Now I will admit my middle child has behavioral issues and that's where things took a turn. I started getting incident report after incident report after incident report. Mind you school age kids are mean. And I taught my kids to stick up for themselves. After months of explaining to the office staff (sylvia) and the director (Cynthia luna) the issues I was having hearing my school age kids tell me about abusive behavior the staff was portraying onto the kids. And my son telling me his teacher scares him and sqeezes his arms and legs, was the last straw with this place. After contacting the licensor, she had informed me to call cps and report the daycare facilty which i did. twice . In retaliation they terminated my daycare services. In the termination letter they mentioned i didnt provide the right milk for my son, which i have fought about before. If you are giving my son cheese and yogurt and in the meal plan it says milk then wheres the issue with milk. They mentioned my daughter and her poor behavior and if there was such a big issue than why didnt we exicute the behavioral plan they came up with and didn't even give her 8 days before terminating our care. Or even suggest i remove her and not all of my kids. termination is just easy to get rid of all istead of dealing with a parent who stands their ground. (Thats me) Lastly they mentioned since i reported them twice in less then 3 months they felt the need to terminate my care.now this one is not just cause for them to terminate anyones services. I have the right to report anything sispicious or wrong doing that my kids are telling me thats whats happening daily. The day they terminated me i recieved numerous pictures of my kids. From bruises to abrasions my kids caused themselves (besides what my son stated about his teachers) and another incident report. They then turned around and called cps on me in retaliation (according to the cps worker) which i agreed with. They made a report that my son had brusises all over his body including his ass. Cps has no findings and the case will be closed against me. So i repeat dont let your kids suffer in this place its not worth it. They dont like it when youre right. They dont like people to stick up for themselves. They dont like being reported which is every parents right to do so. dont waste your money. dont waste you time. Keep your kids safe and best interest at heart. Do not go here. FYI all college for kids are connected so the abuse extends to this facility as well.

TTM is a pedagogically-observant Montessori school, which will come as a relief to those parents…read morewho believe in the method and seek something more for their kids (and their expense) than a glorified day care. The classes are appropriately sized and more than adequately staffed with Montessori-trained guides & aides, and feature a full complement of beautiful wood, metal, and fabric Montessori-specific works arranged to allow curious minds instant access to meaningful, self-directed learning. The administrative staff is exceptional, led by a 20+ year veteran of both Pacific Crest Montessori & Northwest Montessori School. While transparently placing the student experience first (as they should), this administration takes great pains to accommodate the needs of parents by being respectful of the scant spare time available to most parents, and by reaching out to parents with lots of pertinent information & updates. The building itself is a high-security cruciform arrangement where toddler, primary, and elementary classes are housed in their own wings. It appears to be a former hospice or nursing home, the practical upshot of which is wide hallways and doors, bright sunny rooms, and lots of 'safety' hardware in common areas. The outside play areas are securely fenced (with locking, key-coded gates) and include play structures, gardening, and opportunities to get messy in real dirt in the time-honored tradition. The location is a quarter mile off WA-509 in Burien at 160th Street, just down the street from Highline Medical Center. We make the drive from Capitol Hill every day in 20 minutes. The location is also served by several bus lines from downtown Seattle (#131 & #121 pass 1/8 mi. to the east @ 160th & 1st; #123 1/8 mi. to the west @ 160th & 4th).

From management to many of the teachers we have had, we can affirm that their care is solid and 100% about the kids. When we began looking for a daycare in 2014 and we were met with many options but we went to this one because our first option was full. About 2 months after starting at south Seattle Kindercare, our first option called to say there was an opening. At this point we were not moving our kid because we saw the level of care and responsiveness that the teachers were giving them. Furthermore and most of all, the management team at this school were always available and open to any concerns we had and always resolved them when we engaged them. I will never forget looking at my wife and saying "The director here is amazing and that alone would be enough to keep our kid here!" Shortly after making our decision to stay, we learned that they also acquired a NAEYC certifIcation thus making this school aa great decision.
