I wanted to update my previous review (see the looooooooooong one below about how well this worked…read morefor my two developmentally delayed toddlers). My children are in elementary school now, and I continue to see my decision to place my kids at Knowledge House to be an excellent one. My kids started kindergarten academically ahead of their peers, and having already developed the social skills necessary for elementary school. They could work well with others, treat each other and adults with respect, and solve problems peacefully. I see the influence of their education at Knowledge House sneaking out in all sorts of positive ways: they shake hands with people and are confident when sharing their ideas, they include others in their play and notice when someone is left out, they love to explore and learn new things, and they use many different ways to solve problems. To add to all of that, despite the fact that many of their former classmates at Knowledge House attend different elementary schools, the kids still play together at playdates and we still talk with our former Knowledge House families. Mark and Valerie make this preschool a place for children to grow and learn at their own pace, and where children develop a sense of community and self-confidence.

Our family's experience with Tiny Notes movement and music was disappointing due to poor…read morecommunication and sudden changes that negatively affected our child's participation. Our child was forced out of the program with less than 14 days' notice, which was very upsetting. Before this, the ABA lead was switched without any prior warning or discussion. Before the new lead, Kevin, joined, there were no issues raised about our child or the program. However, once Kevin took over, communication became very restricted--we were limited to email only, and it was made mandatory for all parents to attend every meeting, which was difficult since my spouse is on sea duty . After Kevin joined, we noticed fewer families in the pick-up and drop-off lines, and the school atmosphere felt colder and less flexible. Overall, the changes made it hard for us to stay involved and left us feeling disconnected from the program.

Former staff here, DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE! I have so many things I could say about this…read moreplace but I will leave it to just a few reasons. There might be cameras but Annette definitely knows where the blind spots are. I've witnessed Annette put a child in a closet, down stairs across from bathrooms, and close the door telling him "Behave and you can come out". The stairs are not videoed and Annette has drug children up and down them when they don't do what she wants. Arm yanking is a daily occurrence especially if your child likes to be a child. Even worse is Julie who knows this behavior happens and continues to keep Annette as her lead teacher, turning a blind eye to this awful behavior. I can't count the many times the toddler room had breakouts of hand foot and mouth disease. There was black mold growing in a closet and was never properly treated. They scop from costco and when there was a listeria recall, the food was still served, as to not cost Julie more money.These two are a disgrace to childcare and this facility is seen as a money maker to Julie. How it is funded by Washington state is beyond me. It was too much for me and I walked out one day when Julie didn't show up to discuss an issue I had with child treatment. Julie even had the audacity to keep my last paycheck when I showed to pick it up. I would have reported them but threats by Julie and Annette are a thing they do to keep poor childcare under wraps. If you care about your children, DO NOT BRING THEM HERE!

The duration of my son's visit was VERY short due to staff. My son QUICKLY developed nightmares and MAJOR mood swings. He would scream for FEAR when dropping him off. During his second week, my son came home with a Red SWATTING mark behind(PAINFUL) on his bottom lower legs! My son is strong, but the clench he had on me everytime I dropped him off, tears my heart just thinking it. It TOOK my whole strength holding back the next day after my son came home with bruising, informing them my son will no longer be attending. These women are evil!!! I know it's been a year, but I know a lot of evil was coming out of some of the daycare ladies.

We have been so blessed to experience this community. I can not say enough amazing things about…read morethis center and how much they have done and will continue to do in the lives of little ones and families they serve. I have four children who have attended their center, and one who is still currently there. Staff is consistent and they don't seem to have a turnover at all. Which has made transitions from classroom to classroom comfortable and easy for both my little ones and I. Amy keeps a clean center and genuinely cares about not only the kids but the families as well. She follows state guidelines and procedures to make sure that the best care is being given at all times. Her staff is full of joy and you can see she carefully picked them with care so that every child is getting their needs met and nurtured at her center. They communicate with families consistently so that any concerns, milestones, and exciting things are known to the families in the program. They have field trips during the summer for the older classes to help keep the summer exciting and engaging when us parents are still needing to work and might not be able to do all of these things outside of the weekend. My children go in excited to see not only their friends but the staff that cares for them. My older children that go during the summer for care miss them over the school year and are eager to go back and see Ms. Amy and her staff. I could go on and on about how much this center has blessed us and how it has surpassed any experience I have had with childcare in my ten years of parenting, but I know it will be seen and felt by anyone who enters the doors. If you are trying to decide on a center where you will have a piece of mind that your children are safe, loved, nurtured, and being prepared for kindergarten this is the place for you.
