As a fellow early childhood educator who has run a childcare program before, when I was looking for…read morea preschool for my son, I knew I wanted a play-based program where my child would have plenty of opportunities to explore and simply have a great time. We came across The Farmhouse School, and I was so excited. The philosophy is exactly what I hoped to find- Play-based, a focus on social emotional wellbeing, open-ended exploration, and great family support. My son had only been with me for his first three years of life, and I wasn't sure how he would take to being away from me, but he's done amazingly well so far. He is excited to go, and even asks to go on the weekend. He always has a big smile on his face while we head to school, and he tells me about how he plays with his friends at pickup. The teachers are all lovely and warm, and are very compassionate. They understand how to work with children and families to ensure the transition from home to school goes well. I can't say enough about the school. It's great, and I wish there were more schools like this in the area so more children could experience what best practices are for this age group!

The Farmhouse School is a charming and wonderful school. The teachers are very patient, kind, and…read morecontinuously ask the students great questions. Some favorite components of the school for my daughter was the rotation of exploratory areas and touch areas. For example, some weeks they have a big bin of leaves and other weeks they have interesting beads, or water play. Some weeks there are tables with writing with interesting things or ways to write your name or guess the smell in the cup. There is even a quaint writing center and student mailboxes for sharing letters. An important component is outside play everday no matter the weather. They have a wonderful outdoor play space complete with garden and live chickens. One of the most important aspects of the school is the teacher interation with the students. For ex: When students are telling a story, the teacher is writing down what they are saying or writes down titles or explanations of the artwork created by the students. The preschoolers feel respected and love that their ideas are seen as important. Last year the students were interested in collectively creating a bug hotel, they worked on this project all year. The teachers helped the students generate lists of what the hotel needed and they were continually creating collaboratively. For a few weeks the students were interested in doing a play so the teachers started writing down their script ideas and in a few days at pick up all the parents got to watch a very charming preschool production on the back porch. When you are thinking about a place to start your child's education, Farm house is a wonderful, creative, and kind place to start.

They work really hard to provide a great Pre-K experience, in a safe and comfortable environment conducive to learning . They follow Montessori methodology and teach the kids life skills like independent play, cleaning up after yourself and sharing. They provide excellent communication, and focus on each child as an individual and are willing to take the difficult conversations. One of our kids also struggled with focus and following directions and even though we didn't always see eye-to-eye on how to handle situation that arose at school, the important part is that Morningstar staff worked closely with us, we communicated and discussed concerns and took the time to understand perspectives. As parents we want the best for our kids, and sometimes that also means making sure our kids are also contributing to that environment for the other kids and not taking away from that. It is not an easy balance to reach, but having a school that cares and works with the family to get it right is greatly appreciated.

I can't say enough about the Montessori program, the leadership, teachers and staff at Morningstar. Sullivan thrived in the Montessori program. He became an expert in geography, knows how to read and write and has the basics of math down. He also learned how to be a great student and classmate. We are forever grateful to Ms. Madhuri, Ms. Deepti, Ms. Helen and all of the others at Morningstar. Sullivan will miss them greatly. He is excited to start Kindergarten in the fall and thanks to the Morningstar team - he is very ready!

I have been SO eager to write a review for this daycare for many, many months…read more TL;DR - you will not find more caring, communicative, and supportive school for your child. I wish I could convey how impactful our experience at Goddard Snoqualmie was to our family, but I do not believe words can adequately describe the admiration, gratitude, and true love that we have for this facility and the people who work there. We were at Goddard for one year and had the *best* experience. Mr. Julio and Ms. Maria are truly exceptional daycare owners (I say this with confidence, having toured many daycares in our new location and settling on one that is nowhere near as warm and inviting as Goddard Snoqualmie). They truly helped me become a better parent, better communicator, and just better person. They know everyone by name and are very hands-on with both the management and the children themselves. It is evident they care a great deal about their school and the families in it. The front office staff Ms. Kady and Ms. Talli are actual DREAMS. They are so friendly and so caring... to the point that if you are home sick with your child and you don't show up, they will call to make sure you are okay! We haven't been to Goddard in almost 4 months and my son still talks about his teachers there - even one he only knew for 1 month! That is the amount of impact that this daycare has on small children. Of course the smart, caring and compassionate staff are the most important factors in daycare, but outside of that - the facility is BEAUTIFUL. I mean really, really top-notch. It is bright, clean, with state-of-the art technology. I am confident that there was no detail left unturned. It was climate-controlled, the playground was state-of-the-art, and there was a TON of space for exploring. Curriculum was great. They use an app to update parents throughout the day and communicate. My son truly thrived here - they have a really excellent curriculum supplemented with things like music on Tuesdays and summer programming. Art is made every day, and they also do a lot of singing and story time. Had we not moved prohibitively far away, we would have continued to go to Goddard Snoqualmie for many, many years. I cannot recommend more highly.

The door is ALWAYS locked, and you have to enter a code AND scan your hand to pick your kid up - this is just to get in the building! Do you have concerns about your kid's education? This place does an awesome job of teaching kids as they are having fun - today my daughter built a rocket ship, played with 'alien' play doh, did a lot of puzzles and read books about the moon. And she had a blast! She didn't want to leave. Concerned that you don't know what goes on behind the doors of the school while you are gone? Throughout the day you will often get pictures of your kid as they are going through the different activities, and after you pick your child up, they send you a complete summary of everything your child did during the day - down to how much yogurt they ate, and how many times they went to the bathroom (or how many diapers, etc.). You will NEVER have to worry about your kids when you drop them off here. They have fun, enclosed playgrounds - the place is always incredibly clean, and the owners are some of the nicest, most genuine people I have ever met.

My kids specifically asked to keep being enrolled here because they enjoy mastering so many math concepts and being confident at school. My eldest used to struggle with math but she's now ahead of her grade level. My middle kid has more affinity for math and she's now learning 6th grade math at the age of 8 years old. Whether your kid is advanced in math or behind or anywhere in between, there really is tremendous value in having them attend Mathnasium. Big plus about the Snoqualmie center is that they usually have only 2 students per instructor, and the max is 3. Other centers cap it at 4 students which makes it much harder for your child to get enough learning done. Also, Mathnasium does not assign homework which my kids (and I) absolutely love. Good job Michelle for providing this valuable service to the community.
