The hands on learning, and free reign to explore, allow for such an organic learning experience. The kids at Marji's develop personal and social confidence while they interact with nature on a level that's impressive in the middle of West Seattle. Marji's years of experience are evident in her kind and effective structure. The kids are given ample opportunity to be creative and encouged to do so authentically. I can honestly say I love working at Marji's and look forward to many more years!

He has totally thrived in the environment, with past and current teachers, and we've seen such a difference in his ability to express himself, talk through his feelings, and be curious. We even had to go to the ER a month or so back, and while he was scared we asked him to do his big breaths (learned at Cove), he did, and it helped him get through. We were amazed! The parent community at the school is great too. We've met lots of other engaged, wonderful parents that are just great to see at pick up/drop off or even do play dates with. We're so happy we enrolled our toddler here and have plans to enroll our youngest when he gets old enough.

With Bloom, I feel GREAT about the program and teachers, and have full peace of mind when I take my daughter and drop her off. Stacy (the owner) is very experienced and level-headed. She's great with kids and is always calm and collected while simultaneously showing enthusiasm for the kids. Stacy has developed curriculum that is fun, multifaceted and holds my daughters attention. I like a balance between play and learning and I feel Bloom gets this right. Bonus: my daughter brings home adorable crafts matching the weekly theme. My daughter attended during the 2020-21 school year. The owner Stacy told me at the tour that she was going to try and find a transparent shield for her face so she could pull down her mask and smile at the kids. She couldn't imagine not being able to show the kids facial expression. **Okay, I don't know about you, but this is exactly the kind of teacher I want for my child. One that sincerely cares about the emotional and social development of her students. ** She would give the parents periodic updates regarding Covid safety rules but she didn't ever appeared frazzled by the changing protocol of Covid mandates. There was one Covid exposure risk during the year and Stacy did a A+ job of informing us and keeping us safe with an appropriate closure and re-opening. Honestly, Bloom was a major "silver lining" for an otherwise CHALLENGING year. I'm so grateful to Stacy, Nicole, and Amber for a fantastic first year of preschool. I am now counting the days till summer vacation is over and school starts back up!

The management at this Bright Horizons is really incompetent…read more I used the Bright Horizons Backup Care program to make a reservation for my daughter at this location. The West Seattle location had availability and confirmed my reservation. On the day of the reservation, when I was getting ready for dropping off my daughter, I got a call from the West Seattle location and they told me that they have no space for my daughter even though they had given me a confirmation earlier. This is not an isolated incident. The same thing happened to me 2 days later. And I had to run around at the last minute to find a daycare option for my daughter. The people working at Bright Horizons West Seattle don't even have the basic decency to give you a heads up 1 or 2 days earlier to let you know that they don't have space for you! I would recommend everyone to stay away from this location due to terribly incompetent management here.

We are so lucky to have found (and actually get into) Bella Mente. Lauren and her staff are absolutely the best we could ask for in a preschool. Anyone who has had to find quality childcare knows what a struggle it is, and what a blessing it is to find the right fit. For my family, this was it. We felt our older son, who attended for a year and a half, was well prepared for Kindergarten. Our younger son has been progressing very well through the program, and I know he'll be ready to shine once he hits Kindergarten! If you're looking for an authentic, caring, and committed environment for your child, you should check out Bella Mente!

Stephanie is incredibly joyful and calming presence and seems to enjoy every minute of what she does. The children can tell that as well and it's a safe and warm environment in which to explore their world. I love the hours 9-12:30 for morning class or 1-4:30 and the ratio of no more than 8 kids per class. It's small and on 35th, but it has everything they need without being too overwhelming. Oh, and the fact that it's very affordable is an added bonus! So glad we found this preschool!

Ms. Stephanie has a great balance of free play and introducing structure and materials in a fun and encouraging way.

My daughter learned to play and explore outdoors (mud pies galore!) while learning about circle time, story time, and responsibilities of cleaning as a community. I saw so much progress while we were there. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes a small teacher student ratio (1:8), allows their kids to get their hands a little dirty in nature, and still learn their letters and numbers in preparation for Kindergarten. Great rates and scheduling as well.
