Absolutely love, love, love the Crimson Canvas Arts summer camps!…read moreMy son first attended the clay art camp summer 2019, and it was honestly the highlight of our day. He would talk about it prior and then for the rest of the day after pick up. It's just so fun and the art work is beautiful. My son also made some wonderful friends that we still have play dates to this day. Can't wait for another summer of clay camp:)

Our daughter has been taking art classes through Crimson Canvas Arts and Sophie for several years…read morenow. She started out first with in person classes through the school and has been doing online classes for the last year. She loves the art classes and always has great artwork to show us. Sophie is a great teacher and really connects with the kids. We're looking forward to more online classes and hopefully in-person ones in the future too.

Pine Lake Co-Op Preschool has been amazing for my daughter. Play-based learning, exposure to…read moredifferent skills/activities and time spent outdoors playing makes my child beg to go to preschool! The teachers are wonderful and knowledgeable. Co-op model means great student-teacher/adult ratio and very affordable tuition. Getting to volunteer in the classroom has helped me learn more about child development and felt more confident as a parent. It is a great use of my time. There's a reason Pine Lake Co-Op Preschool has been a central part of the community for over 50 years! My daughter is a second generation PLCP student!

We moved to Sammamish in the middle of the pandemic, and I am so happy to have found Pine Lake…read moreCo-op Preschool (PLCP)! It is exactly what my son needed after being home for so long without regular interaction with other kids his age. At PLCP, we have found the perfect balance between flexible structure and the freedom to just play and be kids. Our family has had nothing but wonderful experiences the last two years with Teacher Kim! It's very evident that she is thoroughly experienced with these age groups and provides a variety of developmentally appropriate activities and lessons for the kids. There's no better feeling as a parent than seeing your child thrive in their first experience of school! I am grateful to have found a preschool where my son is safe, positively engaged with his peers and teacher, and excited to go to school each day. As a former K/1st teacher, I have no doubt that Pine Lake Co-op is a wonderful place for both you and your child to grow and learn together. The co-op model is unique and we have loved building connections with other families. Our younger one will be starting at PLCP in a few months, and we're so excited to see his education journey begin!!

I am a little surprised there aren't more reviews on here about this place. It came pretty highly…read morerecommended to me via word of mouth by a couple of friends separately. Maybe no one wants to overshare and have it be too crowded...anyway, I stopped in today, the last day of a break week, to see if my daughter (5YO) could drop in for their 2 hour art class this morning. I had no idea what was going to be done or how it works, just that trustworthy friends recommended it. My daughter walked out two hours later slightly covered in pastel dust and two amazing pictures. She likes art, but she was totally focused for 2 hours on doing a piece with minimal help from the instructors. Both of the instructors and the lady that seemed to be running the place suggested she take regular lessons and gave me some detailed ideas of stuff she could do and work on. The employees look like art students and are really nice. The patrons that were working when we got there were all under the age of 10, but it was a very calm environment and the activity was controlled. All in all, yeah, I probably will shell out a few hundred bucks to this place so my daughter can continue to have some great art experiences. Wish there was a place like this when I was a kid!

The studio is fine. They have parent-kid interaction activities which was great.read more

This is an incredibly sweet studio--the owner Genevieve was really kind (had questions the day…read morebefore) and Rileigh the instructor for the class was patient and wonderful as well. For our fourteen year old's birthday he said that he would love to make ceramics (loves doing this at school in art class) and I managed to find three spots for a family class on his birthday to make ice cream bowls and spoons. It was a sweet way to spend an hour and a half crafting with his papa and grandmother. The studio is spacious and clean and they had wheels as well at the front along with offering unfinished pottery for those that wish to paint (loved the beer steins with bears). Would love to sign up for more classes here with him especially learning how to use the wheel. A fantastic studio and it was a short trek from home.

An absolute gem in North Bend! My partner and I went for their Date Night class and LOVED it. The…read moreinstructors were fun, patient, and great at teaching us the basics of wheel throwing. I've since taken their beginner's boot camp and am now completely hooked on ceramics! Having a skill that I can see myself improving on each time I go is so satisfying. Having this welcoming and beautiful space to do that is priceless. I am very thankful for this addition to our town.

To say that I love this preschool is an understatement. My son is graduating pre-k this year and I…read morewish there was a way we could stay longer. The teachers are kind and loving. They do super fun and educational activities: The biggest asset that this school has is the director Ms. Aimee. She is very hands on, and just an amazing person. She is also a super organized director, and amazing with children, they all love her. Go for a tour, I am sure you will fall in love with this little school like we did.

Excited to come back and create other things in the studio as well!

My son has attended Chess4Life camps several times, and I have been very impressed. Not only is…read morethe level of instruction and play excellent, they have a ton of tournaments that you can join. In addition, they are not just about chess, but kids attending also have some physical/sports time.

I have used Chess4Life curriculum for two separate after school chess clubs. I can say that without…read morehaving the program chess4life offers, the clubs would not be the success that they are today. The video lessons are short and easily understood, while the practice exercises work great on a smart board or a projector. There are four levels of instruction: Pawn, Knight, Bishop and Rook. This allowed our kids to be separated into two separate groups and be challenged at the level that was most appropriate for them. The online portal also allows kids to play against the computer and one another online. Chess4Life not only offers a great program, they also give back to the community and care about the kids. Their presence is felt in many of the chess tournaments throughout the state and they run and volunteer at many of the chess events. I am glad to have selected Chess4Life and will recommend that both clubs continue to use them for future curriculum. Thank you!
