The teachers are experienced, and their approach is very thoughtful. The classroom is prepared just right for the students, and there's so much for her to explore and learn with. I feel I've learned as well about how to support my daughter's education. We're excited about sending our second daughter to Montessori Time once she's old enough. Some notes: They have an excellent music curriculum and Spanish instruction once a week. They also offer summer day camps focused on specific topics. This was a great way to help our daughter (and ourselves) feel comfortable with being in preschool.

Okay, so let's begin. This preschool was like a second home for my child. When he first started…read moreattending, he was quite introverted. However, within just a few weeks, we noticed a remarkable transformation as he became more outgoing. All the teachers, especially Miss Archana and Miss Mansi, were exceptional. This school excels in academics as well. If you're in search of a preschool that provides a nurturing environment akin to a second home, where children learn and engage with such enthusiasm, Bright Star Montessori is the perfect place. During his initial days, my child faced challenges with eating and rest room training, but the teachers provided tremendous support, and in no time, he was doing perfectly fine. We are truly grateful ... Thank You Miss Mansi and Miss Archana for creating such beautiful place for kids ... Kudos !!

They have safety measures in place, and it warms my heart to know my child is in such a trustworthy, fun, and safe environment. At over the rainbow family daycare they provide the perfect setting for kids to develop and grow. We really love the teachers--every single one of them treats the kids with so much love and care. Our daughter has developed so much, and it was the best decision we have made. Not only do they feed our child so we don't have to pack meals, but they also have great flexible pickup times. My child is bonding with teachers, making friends, and learning so much through quality activities. Highly recommend!

When it was time for me to go back to work, my husband and I tried a couple bigger daycare centers…read morefor our 2-year-old. They were okay, but they felt really sterile, and my daughter would cry the whole way home. I started to feel really stressed and discouraged trying to find somewhere she would actually feel happy and cared for. After a lot of thought and prayer, I decided to look into an in-home daycare--and I'm so glad I did. We found Over the Rainbow Family Daycare, and it just felt right. It's close to our home, bilingual (which was important to us), and the reviews about Stephanie and Carmen were so kind. After meeting them, I understood why. They're also very professional and organized--they have a clear daycare handbook that helped set expectations and made me feel even more comfortable. This daycare feels like I'm dropping my kids off at a family member's house. All of the kids are so sweet and warm with each other. Carmen ( the main caregiver) is really communicative--she sends pictures, keeps me updated on how both of my girls are doing, and shares the highs and lows of their day. She's also brought a really good sense of structure into their lives. My toddler will come home with arts and crafts to hang, little goodies for the holidays and even birthday surprises and little parties thrown on their day. Every one of the kids I've met when picking up the girls is so eager to give eachother hugs when saying hello or goodbye, or even talking to me as a parent to share something about their day. What Carmen, Stephanie and even Margarita do here is much more special than any day care I've ever experienced. After just a few weeks, I saw such a difference in my toddler. She was talking more, learning to take turns, and showing more empathy than I expected at her age. When my toddler has acted out towards other kids ( as kids do), Carmen makes sure to communicate to me right away so my husband and I can help our daughter get on the right side of things. It was clear from the first day of starting at daycare that healthy behavior and kindness was a priority to Carmen to maintain a positive environment for all of the kids. I see it every day when my girl comes home from school smiling, laughing and telling me about the best part ( or sometimes worst parts) of the day. I also see Carmen's teaching style exude from my daughter when she sees other kids or cousins fighting. She'll often tell them " we have to be nice kids" and separates them nicely to cool things down. This really tickles me because I know that she picked that up from daycare . A year later, we had another baby, and going back to work with both a toddler and an infant felt overwhelming. Carmen and Stephanie really worked with us and helped my youngest adjust to the change of my return to work. That was insane and stressful in itself because my baby would not take a bottle and would scream and cry. Carmen, Margarita ( another employee at the daycare) and Stephanie have been patient with learning her cues and have communicated with me even throughout the day letting me know when the baby has taken the bottle, how much she drank or if she completely refused it and very importantly never forcing it when she doesn't want it. They've really played a large part in helping my baby adjust to being bottle fed in a short period of time, There are a million other great things I could say about Carmen, Stephanie, and Over the Rainbow Family Daycare, but the most important thing is that they are kind and generous people . They communicate when there are obvious issues that need our attention and collaborate with us more than expected of day care providers. They've shown our family so much grace, helped us through SO many tough adjustments, and have always kept a fun and safe space for my kids. They truly feel like family to us, I can't believe we were ever strangers and I feel very fortunate to have found them.

Sister Pat pulled out the yard stick would march us across the street in a single file line into the church for our sentence. Thank the lord for the 7-11 down the street to load up my pockets prior to going to school. After all Lifesavers tasted better then the communion wafer. Holy Family is a nice classic school & church providing Catholic spiritual teachings to the mass's including myself. I think if your a practicing Catholic you'll appreciate coming here. My one true & only blessing coming to school here was seeing the principal was a large endowed Italian lady who ran the school with an iron fist. I mean she was built like the wings of a 1957 for Cadillac DeVille. Needless to say I made it out in one piece but I'll never forget my days at Holy Family. I'm a sinner today but that year was a building block in my life. Someday I'll repent and I may come back for the cleansing of my soul & mind.

The school continues to grow both in spirit, student body and upgrades. The teachers and para educators are beyond devoted. They have passion for the children. Our child received summer connection with her teacher for extra guidance with the dual language immersion program. That was beyond what was expected. Our child has flourishes in the environment with a deeper understanding of a global community, a heart filled with love and a joy for learning. The school is a community and parents of all backgrounds and nationalities are welcome. Special thanks to Principal Garcia who leads with love, firmness and compassion. And to Father Jose!

My daughter attended La Casita Feliz for 2 years (age 3-5) and she is enrolled in (and can't wait…read morefor!) the after-school drama/Spanish program now that she's moved on to Kindergarten. We LOVE the director. We LOVE the teachers. We LOVE the space. My daughter learned so much--socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically. And she speaks Spanish with a lovely Argentinean accent to boot (gracias, Sebastian!). Pluses include: - warm community - predictable & fun routine - lots of creative play indoor and outside (which is how kids learn at this age!) - total language immersion - excellent communication both day-to-day as well as about student progress throughout the year - conscientious, reasonable, fair, and responsive daily management of the school - happy, healthy feeling all around My only criticism is that I wish the hours had been longer--but that's a personal logistics issue, not one I can blame LCF for. I just wanted to write a quick review from someone who has REAL experience at the school, day-in, day-out. Seems unfair to give a negative review for one tardy appointment and not getting a (non-refundable!) deposit refunded. People are human; rules are rules. If the reviewer HAD stayed at the school, I am certain that one frustrating experience would have been forgotten once they got to know Barbara (the director) and how she leads so expertly her excellent teachers and staff at LCF.

If I could give this 0 stars I would. When I first learned of the school I was quite excited and…read moreknew and liked one of the teachers, Sebastian. I showed up to have a tour which I had schedule multiple days in advance. No one was there. I called Barbara Ford, the director, over and over with no answer. There is no where to wait and it was raining so I just stood there hoping to get in. 30 minutes later Barbara arrive (I was able to reach her after 10 minutes of phone calls). She had said she was a few minutes out which turned out to be 20. The school was nice enough and it was the only place excepting 2 1/2 year old children that I had found thus far. I signed my daughter up and left the deposit. Being new to the area, we did not realize the traffic ordeal of getting onto Queen Anne first thing in the morning we were warned by other friends and decided to check it out ourself. Yes, we found out it wouldn't work for getting to work on-time and that we needed to un-enroll. I know there is a waitlist for the school and I was hoping that Barbara would be willing to refund me my deposit since it is quite a bit of money. But no, she said that is much too much work, even though there was a wait-list. Honestly this is just a very distasteful woman to deal with and I would highly recommend avoiding having to deal with her. There is a Montassori school in Ballard that accepts 2 1/2 year olds if anyone is looking for a kinder and more receptive place to send kiddos!
