In the time…read moreboth my girls have been enrolled (they are 4 and 1 years old) it's been amazing to watch them both flourish and grow- and I attribute the wonderful teachers and staff with a good part of that. They keep excellent communication through the app so while I'm at work every day I can keep up with all the fun things my kids are doing. It's been awesome at the end of the day being able to ask my 4 year old about specific things she did or learned that day. The owners are also incredibly friendly and transparent and their attention to detail is impressive. Four years into my parenting adventure and having my children enrolled here has been one of our best decisions.

I would never ever send my child to a place that talks to people the way he did over parking in the wrong spot. Can't imagine how they teach the kids in there. 0/10

One of the things I really appreciate is the multi-age environment, where younger children learn from older ones, while older children develop leadership, patience, and empathy. It creates a wonderful opportunity for children to build friendships, independence, and social skills. I also had the pleasure of working alongside Maria, who is now the director. Having worked with her personally, I know how dedicated, caring, and hardworking she is. She genuinely cares about the children and families, and I'm happy to see her in a leadership role where she can continue making a positive difference. I'm grateful that my daughter was able to be part of this program and for the experience I had as a teacher!

We also love the language aspect.. My child has made lots of great friends!

We can't walk down the halls without multiple teachers saying hello and calling out to both our children. Watching both of our children develop their confidence, independence, and love of learning here has meant so much to us. We feel incredibly lucky to have found a school and community that our family has loved being a part of.

The Director Joanne, Assistant Director RJ, and Toddler Teachers Ms. Cami and Ms. Helen have been a God-send. They have and continuously uphold high standards, truly care about the wellbeing and education of your child, and are genuinely invested in having your family as a part of their community. It was a steep learning curve for myself, being anxious entrusting my treasure and heart to complete strangers, but through transparent communication and above and beyond efforts from the individuals above, trust and bonds were quickly built. The teachers are always focused on interacting with the children at their level and are so engaged during every moment of everyday. Both teachers put in so much time and effort, not only for the children, but also the classroom environment, so that the children truly get the best experience possible!! The consistency of attendance with the teachers are also outstanding and rare for the field!! My husband and I truly feel so grateful for these 4 individuals in helping our child during this crucial development period in her life and for helping us, her parents, get through the difficult pages of these early chapters **pictures depicting children have been edited and screenshotted to protect their privacy**

Appleseed has done a great job in fostering good classroom behavior and social skills in my son and we're very sad to leave. My son adored this preschool. The environment was close-knit and he was excited every day to go. The preschool area, the bottom floor of Roxanne's house, was clean and she always had the children wash their hands when they arrive. She was very welcoming and speaks gently to the children. Roxanne is easy to talk to when you have concerns and she's happy to be flexible with you (which I needed as I had quite a few different people on call to pick up my child on any given day dependent on my work schedule). Drops in were also welcome if you ever wanted to poke in unannounced and see your little one. Appleseed makes an effort to incorporate fun events like mini plays and art shows as well, so parents can see what their children have been working on at school. Can't speak highly enough of Appleseed.

When I'm at work I had peace of mind knowing my daughter was in good hands. I highly recommend 100%.

Since our baby has been going, the teachers have been nothing short of kind and caring. They truly care about the well being of our child and have always heiress in the safe side by calling us if anything happens. We enjoy that the teachers try and help teach our child simple words/actions during the day. Our baby even has learned to say "hi" and is working on blowing kisses because of the attention they pay to her. Reading the other reviews, I cringe a little because this campus is off of 99 and the people who seem off that lurk on 99 are out of the daycares control. However, the daycare is very secure (you need a code to get in) and the staff has always been weary of their location. Please take note - this isn't in a ghetto area, 99 just happens to be close by. The surrounding neighborhood has houses that are in the $1M range. We love this place and the people there!

I am hoping to do a nanny share, but I want to find a daycare just in case. I set up an appointment…read morefor a tour at GKA in Edmonds -- the one by the Burlington Coat Factory. I rang the doorbell. No answer. I waited. Rang the doorbell again. Nothing. I looked to my left and noticed a man wearing a black mask over his face in the next parking lot. He was moving kind of oddly, but eventually started twirling and ran into the grill of a Penske-looking moving truck and fell on the ground. I rang the doorbell again. No one. I started freaking out a little on the inside because he got up and looked my direction. He just kept staring at me. So, I went to my car... and then I saw a couple of people pull into the daycare parking lot, so I thought I'd try to get out and reach the daycare again. The guy was gone. But then I looked and he was hiding behind a truck, still looking my direction. I rang the doorbell again and went back to my car. At that point, I thought, why am I still here? I need to leave. As I was getting ready to leave, a daycare worker walked outside and started looking around to see who had been ringing the doorbell. I got out of my car and told her I was supposed to have an appointment for a tour at 8:10 (It was 8:25 at that point). She said the woman who was supposed to meet me wasn't there yet. I told her she needed to call the police because of the weird masked guy in the next lot staring at us. English was not her first language. She said, "I call police." So, I was thinking... "Ok, great. She's aware, and she called the police already." {And the reason I point out the English thing is because at that point, I felt like understanding one another was important. I am Korean and have family members who do not speak English as their first language, so language differences do not matter to me in general.} About that time, another worker was walking into the daycare to begin work... along with a parent or two with their kids. That other worker apologized for the tour situation and said she could give me one... and when I told her about the guy in the next lot, she said, "Ugh, it's such an epidemic." WHAT is the epidemic, I thought. Heroin? Meth? People on drugs hanging out near the daycare? Before I could even ask, I looked up, and she was gone. Where the hell did she go? Now I was standing inside the lobby by myself thinking about the dude in the black mask staring at us from the outside. "Alright, I'm out," I thought. I just got in my car and took off. The more I thought about it, the more I thought about the kids inside. The woman (Dori-- sp?) who was supposed to meet with me called me to apologize for not showing up -- she had mixed up her days--and also to apologize for "the guy looking in the window or something" ... I asked, "Did you call the police?" She responded with a NO. I asked, "Really? That guy was on something, and the worker who answered the door told me she did." So, I called Edmonds Police and reported it through the non-emergency dispatch number. When an officer called me back, he said I was the only person to call. REALLY? There's a crazy tweeker lurking around the daycare, and no worker thinks about calling authorities? Or being a little more observant about what's going on outside? Why tell me you're calling police when you're actually NOT calling police? Anyway, I was so pissed off. I have seen mental illness and drug use, so I get that it happens all around us, but when someone is that messed up around little ones, it should be taken more seriously. I was also thinking... wow, if I ran into that guy after sunset, it would really be frightening. What if I was a parent picking up my kid and the guy is lurking around in the dark? I just felt very angry and disappointed that I dealt with three apathetic daycare workers. I am glad I saw this in action because I won't be bringing my infant son there. I know there's security, but I was extremely disappointed in the staff's response today. I am FLOORED. Here is a picture of the guy: https://twitter.com/MichelleLiTV/status/1050044579787943936

Because of their patience and guidance, Kamran behaves really well there and at home he is now almost fully potty trained You can truly tell that Diana and Amanda care deeply about the kids. They are compassionate, respectful to parents, friendly, and very easy to approach. Every time I see them, it's obvious how hard they work and how much love they put into what they do. Working with children is not easy, it takes a special heart and special kind of person. They really are superheroes in this field, and they are a huge asset to this company. The owner also introduced himself to me and showed appreciation, which meant a lot. That level of hospitality made me feel even more comfortable and safe bringing my son there. I actually drive very far just so Kamran can attend this location. I truly wish there was a KidsPark closer to where we live, that would be perfect. But honestly, as long as Diana and Amanda are there, it's worth the drive. Please don't ever close! Parents like me rely on places and people like you. I don't know what I would do without you all. Thank you for taking such great care of my son.
