I also really loved the "goodbye song." I definitely be signing up for a package of classes. This group is unlike any other mommy group around (in a good way)!

They were this weekly calming force in what was otherwise a kind of chaotic "omg what do I do with this baby!!!" year of my life. And as if that wasn't enough, they make different gourmet snacks paired with wine for every class. Uh, yeah. You read that correctly. The group of women was fantastic. It was a great way to meet other westside moms and get your baby some interaction with other babies. I made friends and my baby made friends, how can you beat that? I owe some of my closest "mom friends" to this group. In summary, my one-year-old and I give this group a collective four thumbs up :)

I found myself really looking forward to our weekly sessions. Since completing our sessions with Michelle, I've recommended her to several friends and will continue to recommend her to everyone I know with kids. It's crazy that we train for our jobs but not to be parents.

I took two classes at The Pump Station -- Baby 101 and Breastfeeding, and cannot recommend them…read moreenough. Both classes were led by Barbara and Corgi, who were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and relatable. From the moment we walked in, they made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. What I appreciated most was how interactive the classes were. They encouraged lots of questions and really engaged with the group, which made the experience feel personal rather than overwhelming. They struck the perfect balance of being informative while keeping things fun and lighthearted. So much information can be stressful but the way it was presented was easy to digest. I loved doing it with my partner and think it was such a great way to get him more involved in this process that can lean so heavily on the mom. Beyond just the classes, The Pump Station offers so much! Mommy and Me, classes for Grandparents, Car Seat Installation, Stroller consultation. They also have a great gift store and registry program! I will absolutely be signing up for Mommy & Me classes and love supporting a small business who put so much love and care into what they do.

Really disappointed in my experience today. I drove two hours to this location to support a local…read morebusiness. For one, I was not greeted or asked if I needed help when entering the store. More importantly, their website said the stroller I wanted was in stock and available in 4 hours for pickup, but when I got there it wasn't available for purchase and it had to be ordered. When I brought it up to the cashier, he said it was because they have it in store their inventory but not at the store? Huh?? After doing more digging I saw there was a "Terms and conditions" asterisk in fine print you have to click on to find out this information. All I saw was the green check mark that says "In stock and ready for pick up in 4 hours." Any other place I have ever been to- this would mean it would be in stock at the store. When I brought up, calmly, that this was confusing and they should fix it because I drove two hours to get to the store. The cashier said nothing. Not a "Aw geez, I'm sorry. I can understand your frustration and why that's confusing." I'm a reasonable person. I've worked in customer service all my life. The demeanor of the cashier alone has put me off from ever visiting this store again or recommending it. We went to Uppababy a few blocks down and they were SOOO kind that it completely made my day. All I needed was some kindness. To the owners of the Pump Station- the people using your website are most likely VERY tired moms. I personally am getting 3-4 hours of sleep a day. Tired moms need clear signage if something is in stock or not. Time is precious in this season of life. We also need KINDNESS. My body is broken and recovering from giving birth. I am exhausted! I would expect a place who sells baby items to understand this. Overall, would never recommend this place and will tell everyone I know that it was an awful experience.

Sarah has been available to answer questions via text when needed and feels very invested in mine and my baby's success.

I've had two kids graduate from her toddler program over the last few years and I can't wait to enroll my third child when the time comes. ECDA is a wonderful preschool prep program and support group for parents and care givers alike. While the children learned and played in one room, the parents stayed close by to participate in group discussions each week. It was a great way to check in and have the opportunity to ask questions and talk about what worked and wasn't working for everyone. It really helped me navigate parenthood and all the challenging times that arise during those first few crucial years of parenting and raising children. The class notes that get emailed to everyone ahead of each class have been so fabulous to use as a reference point on numerous occasions. I don't know what I would have done without Marilee and all of her wisdom. My children still talk about her and her classes and especially love to look back at photos and videos of their time spent there. The support, knowledge and friendships formed by attending these classes have been simply priceless!

I started sending my daughter here when she was 15 months old. Twice a week, our nanny would bring…read moreher for two-hour sessions filled with music, story time, crafts, sensory play and imaginative play. But the programming isn't just for the kids. Every week, there's also a new parenting topic that caregivers discuss in a circle as the children do their activities in a different room, supervised by fun and caring teachers. I can honestly say that reading the handouts every week, learning from my nanny about her takeaways, and occasionally dropping in on the classes has made me a better parent this past year. I am more compassionate and empathetic to my child, I have better social and psychological tools to create consistent boundaries, and I know that I have somewhere to turn whenever the latest crazy stage of toddlerhood hits our household (tantrums, potty training, picky eating, poor sleep, aggression). I never felt judged or lectured. I always felt supported and uplifted. And on a personal note, Marilee was able to identify mild sensory issues (sight, touch and hearing) in my toddler. Marilee taught her (and us!) simple coping skills to avoid becoming overwhelmed by her fears and emotions. Without these insights, there's no doubt that I would be treating these sensory issues as "disobedience" and trying to punish her for them, which is frustrating and hurtful for the kid and ultimately counter-productive for the family. I wish every parent had access to a group like ECDA.

This is a special place. Irreplaceable. Our child started in the toddler program where we attended…read morewith her. We enjoyed the experience and bonded with her peer parents and the teachers. We were hooked. The operator, Patricia, created a beautiful environment that feels both intimate and aspirational. The staff is immersed in the Reggio Emilia pedagogy, which makes the school feels less "schooled" and not like a daycare where they're just "watching" children. Every space presents an opportunity for learning, engagement and growth. Every teacher engages with your child. There are no "worksheets." The children learn through projects and individual study. We loved the annual camping trips and nature hikes. Over time, the school and families became a safe haven for our family, changing our perspectives of what a school should be. It should be an extension of community. I can't say enough about how amazing this place is. I literally can't find anything that compares.
