We as a family had a wonderful time last semester at Burlington Little School. Our son has acquired…read morea great set of friends, sprouted quite a vocabulary, maintained a great relationship with his teachers, and most importantly had a wonderful time. In being new to the area, my wife and I really appreciate the openness of the school, the innovation in the working garden, natural surroundings/playground, and classroom activities. For us as parents, we've met quite a lot of really interesting people with similar interests. For us as a family, we feel that Burlington Little School is a great fit for us.

I am a mother of two boys, and I have been in search for a good preschool in Skagit County. I have…read morebeen taking tours at different schools assessing what would be best for my children. I believe preschool should be an amazing experience, it is when our little ones are first introduced to a learning environment. To me a well-rounded school offers learning through classroom experience, art, music, computers, and physical activities. So far I have only found one school in the area that offers this to our preschoolers. Skagit Adventist Academy has overall surpassed all the other preschools in the area for teaching our children to be successful and introducing to them many different aspects of learning. I want my children to love going to school, and to learn as much as possible in a fun, loving environment.

We had our son in a childcare center while we were on waiting lists around town. The center he was…read moreat was less than par but we were in a pinch. When we got the call from Blossom to come tour we were excited. Our son has been enrolled since the fall and we couldn't be happier with the staff and facility. Our son used to cry before school and now he is so happy. Every staff member we have had the pleasure to interact with clearly loves and wants the best for each child. I have no thoughts or worries about leaving our son each day.

Great, friendly staff that make you feel comfortable leaving your children in their care. The…read moreowners are very professional and have an amazing curriculum. Beautiful 2.5 acre campus with plenty of room for your child to run around. My favorite part is how they have a massive playground, as well as a field, and a wooded area.

I brought my son here. I asked if I could sit at a table to work on my pc until he was done. They…read moresaid yes, just like every YMCA we have been to. Then they said I couldn't be in there since I'm not a member. They kicked me out, so then I sat in a chair in the entrance to wait for him. They said no! I need to leave the building. I'm sitting outside on the curb waiting for my son for the next hour. It was very humiliating. I won't be bring him back here again. I love that I can pay for his yearly membership, but can't wait for him in the building. If it was raining out today I would have been so pissed.... I'm very disappointed. There are a lot of other YMCA's that are kind. Stay away from this one.

I competed at the Skagit Valley Family YMCA a few times as part of my high school swim team…read more(Shorewood High School) over a decade ago (I am writing this review Tuesday 5 December 2023). Oak Harbor was in our competition circuit and the high school did not have a school on campus, so the swim meets were contested at this YMCA. It was the regular season pool we traveled the furthest to compete at and offered a different competition experience than some of the other pools we competed at. I may have competed/coached at this pool as part of my YMCA swim team circuit as well. The pool was shallow for the full length, meaning no blocks for starts. Some of the swimmers were really irked by this, I did not mind. There was space on the pool deck for bags and a little bit of bleacher area seating. The locker rooms were clean and easy to find. The parking lot was large enough for regular YMCA users as well as both teams. During one of my high school swim meets here, my grandparents (who lived in Oak Harbor) even stopped by and we had space to talk on our own in the parking lot.
