Our son started in the infant room at just 8 months old, and now, at 14 months, he's thriving in…read morethe toddler room. Watching his growth over these past few months has been amazing, and we owe so much of that to the wonderful, caring staff. When he first started, it was a big transition--he had been home with me since birth, and adjusting to a new environment and new caregivers was tough. He cried a lot and had trouble napping at first. But the staff was so patient and gentle with him through it all. Their support and consistency helped him feel safe and loved, and it made all the difference. Now, he's excited to go to school--he even runs into the classroom and forgets to say goodbye! As a parent, there's nothing better than knowing your child feels happy, secure, and cared for. Thank you to everyone at Bright Horizons at Longacres for helping him grow into such a confident little person. We are so grateful.

We had the most amazing teacher (Mars) with our toddler class. When our son moved up to early…read morepre-school we started noticing problems, mainly with turnover of teachers. If you look at the staff picture wall by the entrance only a handful of teachers have been there longer than a year. We also noticed that staff can be very stressed at times due to being shuffled around from class to class. We finally left (intending it to be temporary) due to our second child being born. Our son had his pictures taken right before we gave our notice and requested to purchase it as well but we never heard back after multiple attempts. TL:DR Depending on the teacher that you have your experience can vary by a lot. If management can do a better job with keeping the staff less stressed/happy I don't think we would hesitate with coming back.

One of the worst Doctors I've seen and I'm old. He more than likely is only capable of simple…read morefractures and only wants to deal with simple cases, he's didn't seem capable of indepth or complicated analysis. I was referred to him from a UW Orthopedic doctor who had seen boney edemas in my MRI's and who provided me Dr. Cannon's name. I waited many weeks to get the appointment with Dr. Cannon. When setting the appointment with him I communicated with his nurse assistant to ensure prior to my visit Dr. Cannon had the scans showing the boney edemas and the scan of my history pathology showing I had mestatic breast cancer in the past. She confirmed the scans had been received prior to the visit. I set the appointment because I have severe bone pain in several locations. On the visit, Dr. Cannon walks into the exam room and asked me what the problem was. I explained to him my history of mestatic breast cancer and a double mestectomy and thyroid cancer to start, he wasn't really interested. I asked if he had read my reports or looked at my scans, he said no they weren't available to him. I expressed his nurse had confirmed my records were in their system, his response was they weren't. I told him I had them with me, both paper reports and CD's, he said he didn't have a way to download the CD's and wasn't interested in the reports. And asked me what I expected him to do. I told him I had several locations of severe bone pain and that boney edema's were showing on my scans. I explained that initially there was one, then more, and now I was having bone pain in my chest bones. He asked what I expected him to do about it and I told him I would like him to biopsy the boney edema in my tibia as it was the one at the time which makes it hard for me to walk. He told me that it woud be considered malpractice for him to biopsy a boney edema. Again I asked for him to look at my scans. He told me I needed to see a general practitioner and there good ones out there who can look general body pains. I told him if I have bone cancer I was going to be very unhappy about his decision to not review my records and that I had been referred to him specifically because he was a oncology orthopedic surgeon. He asked if I was threatening him, I said no, but I would be very mad of his level of care. He stated he didn't know I had been referred but then he tells me (without any review of my records) that it sounds like fibromyalgia to me. I walked out of the exam room with disgust. After the visit, I read his chart notes on my medical record which indicated he and I discussed my muscle pain, he made no mention in the notes that the fact of my visit was bone pain from boney edema's and my request for biopsy to confirm my breast cancer hadn't spread to my bones. It was very disappointing about his level of concern or level of care, I had spent 2 months to see him and then several hours back and forth from my island to Seattle and back just to be rudely treated and disregarded.

As a parent of a child who fell behind in reading, I was desperate for help. I myself am not a…read moreteacher. A concerned mother, nurturer, provider, yes, but not qualified to help a child who has fallen behind. I know first hand, how falling behind can effect a child's self confidence. This is why I reached out to Sylvan for help. They evaluated my son's reading skills and made a plan for him to get caught up. By paying for a bulk package of hours I was able to save a bit of money. I am happy to say that he has become more confident and his skills have improved greatly after just 3 months. I am so excited to see where he is at the end of the summer.

My elementary school aged son has struggled with writing for years. He has a good understanding of…read morewriting concepts and grammar but gets easily overwhelmed when it comes to putting his thoughts on paper. He's starting middle school next year and my wife and I had hoped that Sylvan would be able to help him gain more confidence and work through some of the mental blocks he has when tackling writing assignments. When we signed him up for classes at Sylvan, we expected that he would receive tailored, individualized tutoring to reinforce the concepts he already knows, help build his confidence, and provide techniques and strategies for not worrying about getting it perfect the first time. Unfortunately, the lessons ended up being very boilerplate with minimal customization. The majority of each lesson was spent rehashing grammar concepts he largely already knows, and typically would only spend a few minutes on the creative process of writing. There was also significantly less one-on-one time than we expected, and he spent the majority of the time working on his own on a tablet. We hoped to discuss our concerns during our monthly meeting with the center director, but unfortunately the meetings ended up getting canceled at the last minute three times in a row so we finally just decided to pull him out at the end of the month. The staff are very nice but it certainly wasn't worth the very high cost, and I wouldn't recommend Sylvan for anyone in a similar situation to ours. Maybe it's better for older students or for students who need help with more defined, linear concepts like math or science.

I love the French American School of Puget Sound. I came in as a sixth grader speaking nothing but…read moreFrench thinking I would not be able to adapt due to the language barrier. I was wrong. I found that the students, who all started at different levels of French, were all at an excellent level. Perhaps what makes FASPS so great is its bilingual education. The preschool is set up to be an immersion into the french language but progressively, the amount of english increases so that the middle schoolers reach the equal use of both languages. In the middle school, the French and English are both taught according to their curriculum in their respective languages. History and Math are taught separately in different languages, offering a wide range of knowledge because of the difference in material. The Spanish and Mandarin Chinese programs at FASPS are also incredible. There are after-school program in the elementary and classes in the middle school. I allows students to move up to a Spanish IV and Chinese III levels during their freshman year of high school, putting them at the top of their class. FASPS helped me get into the top private schools in the Seattle area, taught me English and made me part of a loving, tight community.
