Terrible experience and my daughter still has trauma. The 'bilingual' environment really just meant…read morethat many of the staff doesn't speak English, which makes it hard to communicate basic info about my child's day. There was also constantly different teachers at drop off/pickup. After a month of trying to make it work, it was clear my daughter was struggling badly. She cried so hard that she actually vomited twice, and I only found out because I noticed she was wearing her backup clothes--no one even bothered to tell me!!! (It's not typical for her to cry that bad) I was horrified that a daycare could fail so miserably at providing even the most basic level of care and comfort. The final straw was when we arrived one day to pick her up and found her crying alone on one side of the room while the teacher was busy wiping down tables on the other side, ignoring her entirely. We stayed to comfort her, waiting for any acknowledgment from the teacher, but she continued cleaning as though we weren't even there. After that day we withdrew our daughter and Carla Cabiya Ruiz still had the nerve to charge us for another month AND keep our deposit. While I understand 2 week periods are standard, a reputable daycare should show flexibility when it's obvious a child is suffering in their care. It was clear to us that they care more about squeezing every last dollar out of parents than about the well-being of children. If you value your child's happiness and safety, look elsewhere.

The best part about this school is THE PEOPLE and LEARNING SPANISH. All the teachers are super warm…read moreand caring. I loved hearing all the Spanish my son brought home with him, he still counts in Spanish for fun and says "no me gusta" when I tickle him. However, we took my son out of this school because we felt like there wasn't enough vigilance and coaching in regards to hitting. My son began to get upset when it was time to go to school in the morning, and to tell people about a boy at school that would hit him. Twice when I went to pick him up I had an incident report I had to sign about my son being hurt at school, and more than twice, while I was at the school, I saw this boy hit my son and other kids. He was not separated from the other children and continued to walk around and hit multiple students. I can't tell if the teachers are hesitant to discipline the boy because they don't want any liability if the parents become upset at their discipline, or if it is a cultural difference, as I have noticed some Latino cultures give more freedom to boys. What I can say is that my son was so scared to be left alone with this boy at school that he would cry desperately any time he knew he were headed to school. When I saw the boy hit my son right in front of me while I was there, I knew that this was not a safe place for my child and the teachers were not looking out for my son's welfare up to my standards. When I told the school owner that my son was very upset when I tried to leave him at school and it was taking me 15-20 minutes to be able to leave in the mornings, she said that they could try different techniques to help me leave, but I don't think she ever talked formally to the teachers to address the issue or help with the transition because nothing changed and no one came to help us. When I told her that I planned to remove my son from the school because he was too upset to return, she said fine and never asked me why or if she could do anything to help. I asked her for the $400 deposit we left when we registered and she said that was non-refundable. This doesn't make sense to me since we paid for all of our time at the school, the two weeks would have been extra time my son did not attend, but she would not budge on refunding our $400. I think this is very poor business and poor customer service. It seemed, at the time, that she did not care that my son was upset, that we had to transition schools, or that she was keeping my $400 against my will. It was not the way I would have liked to leave that school, but we cleared out his locker because I didn't want him to have to go there ever again.

My first one is now on a scholarship at Seattle U, the little one is looking to apply for schools this fall. Their service is very professional, and focused on their strong teaching structure, specifically applied to your kid's strengths and improvement opportunities, they have also shown great flexibility in adjusting load and focus of classes to our kids' specific needs and priorities, changing along the way. Not to say they do magic, kids, and parents, need to be paying attention, completing assignments, and speaking up when something is changing in the kids' learning priorities, which, with standard testing, is likely to happen when you are taking more than one test, looking to get the benefit of super scoring. Pandemic totally broke their regular curriculum stride and threaten their learning ability, going to Huntington basically allowed them to rebuild, recreate that ability, particularly for math. We recommend.

I was waiting at a coffee shop a few doors down. I returned 20 minutes prior to the end of my kid's appointment to find my seven year old who has ADHD and other delays waiting alone in the waiting room with no adult. I sat with her for several minutes before anyone returned. When I spoke to the employee she told me it was "safe" for children to be unsupervised in their lobby. I completely disagree and I am so thankful that nothing happened to my daughter. I would not recommend this center!

The staff and teachers do not intervine bullying or physical fights. And I had a teacher that would bully me for the amusement of my classmate, and nothing was done about it in the end. My parents respectfully told the head of the middle school the problems, and he did absolutely nothing, and started trying to gaslight my family into thinking it was somehow fixed. The middle school counsellor was absolute garbage, she threatened to call the police on me when I stood I to leave her office to go to the bathroom after I got falsely accused of self harming in my science class. They were not flexible about teaching kids the way they need to be taught in order to learn. While I hadn't yet been diagnosed with autism I think that they still should have been more patient with me because it was obvious the way that they were teaching me, as well as a few other kids, in a way that worked for us. They also fired a bunch of beloved teachers for no good reason, and promoted a bunch of terrible teachers including one that was kind of racist. They have prided themselves about being inclusive to everyone, yet would not let me use the bathroom correlated with my gender identity because I'm trans. And they treated popular kids way bette. There's a TON of other problems with the bush school that I just don't want to get into right now, but I hope you get the point. I would put 0/5 stars if I could, I do not recommend this school at all.

This is our family's third attempt at a tutoring for our now second grader, after failed attempts…read moreat Kumon and abacus classes. I figured I'd give it one more shot now that we recently moved from Bellevue to the Plateau/Highlands area. I purchased a bargain voucher for six sessions for one subject, admittedly not expecting much. (hint: their name ends with "on") Originally learned about this BIC location during kids' swimming class when I saw a pair of third graders doing their BIC tutoring homework in the bleachers. When I ran into a former neighbor of mine on our second week, I knew I might be onto something. The Issaquah location is open three times a week (Tue, Thur, Sun) and is managed by Mr Victor Ho. Victor also started a new Wednesday sessions at the EX3 Teen & Rec Center on the Samm. Plateau. BIC "Enrichment Courses" are divided into English and Math subject. Each session is 75 minutes long for one subject. Victor Students seems to be grouped by age/grade You have several students under the supervision of an adult teacher, and the students are expected to work on their own, "study hall" style, until they are stuck or otherwise have a question. Private tutoring this is not. Most of the hard work is at home, where the parents have to establish ad maintain a daily study routine for each kid. I've also noticed lot of anxious parents prepping their 6-8 year olds for the Cogat and achievement exams (I'm no sure if the latter is ITBS or Stanford10). Basically it's whatever BSD, ISD and LWSD are dishing out. I have no opinion on this particular offering, other than that it's popular and probably worth checking out if that's your focus. Ultimately, what sets the Issaquah operation apart is the dedication and accessibility of the branch manager, who has been receptive to and patient with my many questions and concerns about our kids progress (or sometimes, the lack thereof). Victor has been willing to tweak things so we can emphasize topics where there are gaps in understanding or merely insufficient mastery. Vic is also eager to hear about any errors / typos in the problem sets, as well as of any subpar tutoring sessions. As you'd expect, the tutoring competition is stiff on the Eastside but they seem to be thriving. Don't let their unassuming exterior and frankly, dingy interior fool you -- what they save on rent / furniture, they pass on the savings to you! (Seriously, BIC rates are lower than our previous tutoring programs.) This is a system that appears to be working for our children.
