Any daycare is only as good as the staff, and the core…read moregroup of teachers has been there since we started and has always provided excellent loving care. The strongest recommendation I can give is that when we had our second child we didn't think twice about enrolling her there as well. The only reason I didn't rate 5 stars is because I feel like the ownership doesn't provide adequate support for staff in terms of replacing toys, books, art supplies, etc, and I'm sure staff salaries are not as high as they should be for all their hard work.

I can't say enough good things about KidsPark in Lynnwood, Washington. My son Kamran goes there and…read morehe absolutely loves it. His two favorite people are Diana and Amanda, and honestly, they are my favorites too. They have helped my son so much. They work with him on preschool learning, and they have been incredibly supportive with potty training. Because of their patience and guidance, Kamran behaves really well there and at home he is now almost fully potty trained You can truly tell that Diana and Amanda care deeply about the kids. They are compassionate, respectful to parents, friendly, and very easy to approach. Every time I see them, it's obvious how hard they work and how much love they put into what they do. Working with children is not easy, it takes a special heart and special kind of person. They really are superheroes in this field, and they are a huge asset to this company. The owner also introduced himself to me and showed appreciation, which meant a lot. That level of hospitality made me feel even more comfortable and safe bringing my son there. I actually drive very far just so Kamran can attend this location. I truly wish there was a KidsPark closer to where we live, that would be perfect. But honestly, as long as Diana and Amanda are there, it's worth the drive. Please don't ever close! Parents like me rely on places and people like you. I don't know what I would do without you all. Thank you for taking such great care of my son.

My kids loved coming here 3 days a week and made so many friends over the years. The center is clean, they feed them healthy food & keep them active throughout the day with songs, games & outside play. The range of activities & crafts they do is wonderful. I love to see the artwork they've made each week. The hours they are open are convenient & prices are fair. I especially want to thank Anna, for all her smiles & excellent communication. Anna always knows how every kid is doing and is always on top of informing us about class move ups to the next level, pictures and other events. The facility was especially accommodating with adding days and extra last minute care. I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for professional, caring and considerate attention for both the child and their family.

My son even asks if he can go back and visit his old teachers at HPK. We transitioned recently to a "corporate" childcare facility as our eldest child aged out, but have not found the warmth and true care that HPK provided. Even after transition to a new facility HPK has been willing to help when we were in a childcare bind. They are a life-saver. We miss our HPK family so much and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I can't say enough wonderful things about La Petite Academy--I could go on forever about how…read moreamazing this daycare academy is! First and foremost, the level of care here is second to none. The teachers and staff treat all of the children as if they were their own, surrounding them with so much love and attention every single day. One of the best surprises has been the meals--my grandson is normally a notoriously picky eater who hardly touches anything, but he absolutely loves the food they serve here! Their daily routines and programs are so thoughtful: Morning Stretches: They start every single day with a fun exercise program for all ages, helping the kids stretch out and wake their bodies up to start the morning right. Younger Kids Curriculum: The early learning experience is overwhelmingly positive, engaging, and brightens up every day. Prep for Kindergarten: For the older kids, they do a phenomenal job preparing them for elementary school. My grandson is especially obsessed with all the counting activities and math games they do! A special shoutout has to go to the daycare administrators--Justine, Margie, and Jen are simply amazing. They are so understanding and flexible with every family's unique needs. Justine, in particular, went completely above and beyond for our family. When my grandson had surgery, she personally called me every single day on her own personal time just to check in on him and see how he was recovering. She didn't have to do that, but the fact that she chose to shows just how deep her heart and dedication go. If you're looking for a safe, loving, and educational environment for your child or grandchild, look no further than La Petite Academy. We are so grateful for them!

They LOST OUR CHILD!…read more Do not take your child here. This summer, my family had a terrible experience that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. I'm at work, and I get a call from a stranger. "We have your daughter" A few minutes go by as this man tries to convince me he's a good guy returning my daughter home. I race home, frantically trying to get a hold of my wife, the day care, the police, anyone to get more information. My wire is woken from a migraine by the police banging outside our door claiming "We found your daughter and her friend" Long story short, at a field trip to a local park, they lost my daughter (plus one other kid). They were unable to find them. They did contact us to inform us of what was happening. Fortunately, my daughter had the sense to ask for help and the person she sought help from turned out to be a Good Samaritan. I went and cleared out our kids cubbies that afternoon never to return. I wish I could give 0 stars, because, frankly, "don't lose the children" is job #1.

Moving forward to the care that my youngest daughter receives, it's beyond anything I could have ever hoped for. Her teacher, Taylor, works hard to ensure the kids are taught well, loved and have a wonderful day. Christy is always available for questions and to tell me great stories from the day. Jesse is so flexible and great with the kids. I would recommend this daycare to anyone. I appreciate how much they love my kiddo and how well they all interact with all the kids I see.

Once we were asked in, no one asked our names or introduced themselves. the enrollment coordinator walked us through the center, no clear answers to questions about curriculum, teacher retention or did she ask us any questions about what we were looking for etc. the one thing she did say off the bat is that while they do accept DSHS they do not accept children from CPS. Seems a little like discrimination to me... children need a place that they can feel safe in. not sure i would enroll based on the fact that the person giving the tour did not take the time to get some information about us or trey to build that connection with us. Must not want that enrollment that bad.

We were here 5 months 2 days/week infant care and paid $1172/month (tuition increased as of…read more9/1/23). Pros: -self-selected auto-pay schedule -classroom cameras -parent messaging app with picture/video capabilities -cute artwork/crafts -Ms. Vivian (floater) is AMAZING! My son loved her! -Ms. Alaina was great (she has left) -polite and friendly staff Cons: -lack of active supervision= safety concerns. We walked in on another child, ~2 months older, crawling on my then immobile son, who was trapped in a boppy while teachers reorganized cubbies on the other side of the room. On his last day, a child walked up and took all the toys (~5) he was playing with. Then another child (same child as first incident) crawled on top of him, sat on his waist/upper thighs and repeatedly hit his belly ~6 times. An adult was sitting less than 5 feet away and did not intervene, presumably because she did not see it. The child crawled away independently, and I picked my son up early. He did not have any marks on him, or I would have brought it to administration's attention. -communication: I made the mistake of thinking a parent app with opportunities to input meals/diaper changes, message and share pictures/video meant that we would have positive, strong communication. Responses are usually delayed, if received at all, parent requests are not necessarily honored, etc. As a former teacher, I tried to be up front about things going on at home (ie job changes, returning to work, sleep changes/training, etc.), but was met with judgement and push back which I found disappointing and off-putting. I'm paying for daycare, not parenting advice. Daily reports had some inaccuries as to number of feedings (i.e., report says ate 4 times but only sent 5 bottles and 2 sent back unused) and type of milk given (i.e., said my exclusively breastfed baby was given formula then after switching to formula said given breastmilk); however, staff assured me these were reporting errors only and he received only the bottles we sent. -school-like, rigid environment: no drop offs after 10 AM, progress reports though no staff training/education, etc. My baby isn't developmentally ready for school; he's 7 months old. If he needs to take his first nap at home and come in late, he should be able to. Also, I work from home, if I have meetings and cannot drop off until later in the morning, I shouldn't have to ask for permission to bring him late. I pay for the day, whether he comes in or not, so I should be able to bring him in when it's best for us. -This is a business and it feels like it. They nickel and dime you everywhere, you have to provide your own gloves for diaper changes for goodness sakes! -Staff are asked to do too much. My son started daycare at 10 weeks old. We don't have family in the area, so daycare was the first time our son was consistently separated from us, and it obviously caused him some distress. We would pick him up, his eyes/face would be red, puffy, and splotchy. He refused to sleep much and started losing weight from not eating enough. Nearly every time we logged onto the cameras, he was alone in a dark corner on the opposite side of the room from the adults or other children. I thought it would get better, but it went on for ~2 months. Eventually, he started throwing major fits any time we put him in his carseat, and he's usually a very happy baby. This month, a new baby started in his class. Almost every time, except 1-2 times, I walked in, this baby's screaming. He's ~3-4 months, and almost never was he held or picked up unless I commented on how sad he was or talked to him. One time, I stopped to pick up something my husband forgot, and the teacher couldn't hear me knocking in the door over the baby crying, so I walked in. The baby was in the bouncer, next to the counter (he was out of the camera's view), while the teacher did something on the counter with her back to the baby. Upon hearing the door's bell and seeing me, the teacher whipped around and started talking to the baby and bouncing the bouncer. I now know that they left my son to cry alone for God knows how long but would pick him up before we got there which is why his face was always swollen n puffy but he wasn't actually crying. In some ways, I'm unbelievably angry with the staff for treating babies this way. On the other hand, I know they are short-staffed and asked to do way too much. I would have preferred not to receive a "progress report" or fewer cutesy crafts and had my son's emotional needs met. We are now at an in-home daycare where my son is very well cared for. He sleeps 2 hours consecutively (the longest he ever slept at Kids n Us was 40 minutes), he eats all his purees/solids and drinks 12-20 oz (was picking at purees, drank less than 10 oz consistently at Kids n Us). I've heard great things about Kids n Us and really wanted to have a positive experience. Unfortunately, our experience was being charged a premium price for mediocre care.

The teachers were kind and caring, the center was clean, and our child genuinely loved coming here. It is hard to find a quality day care center, but this is definitely one of them! It is relatively affordable, especially for the high quality level of care. We loved how easy it was to communicate with his teachers and was a relief to know that he was in a fun and nurturing environment while we worked. His teachers got to know us and our child and found individual ways to connect with him, and foster growth both socially and academically. He's moving on to Kindergarten but we will definitely consider this KinderCare for our next child and for summer needs. Stephanie and Miranda have a great operation here, and we definitely recommend it!
