Their interest in getting to know our entire family and the kindness they show our younger son (who will soon enroll at The Treehouse himself) is truly heartwarming. I cannot recommend The Treehouse enough to families who are looking for a welcoming community and play-based learning environment.

Community Day Center For Children

CDCC has been a key partner in our family for years. My oldest attended from 2015-2019 and my…read moreyoungest has been there now since 2019. We have been to two other daycares (which had infant rooms) and one other preschool, so we have some points of comparison. Things I really like: - management - Lois is on top of things and involved in childcare advocacy in the region. Through the pandemic, I felt confident that CDCC was managing things as well as possible. The staff was vaccinated quickly and the changes to policies (pickup/drop off, schedule, masks) all made sense. - atmosphere - the staff are consistent and friendly and my kids like them - food - it is cooked on site and pretty well balanced - playground - they go out twice a day to a nice private yard, right at the school - community - most people who attend live fairly close, which helps build community. There are some required volunteer hours, but they are not excessive. Sometimes I wish that there was more "formal enrichment" when I put on my "ambitious parent" hat, but really kids (or at least mine) are so happy with consistency, community and more play than formal learning. I think a lot of places are too academic, too early. Learning to share, do circle time, sit at a table for meals, switch activities according to a schedule etc. goes a long way towards school readiness. Music classes and swim lessons can be found elsewhere (though CDCC did them pre-pandemic and pre-renovation closure at Medgar Evers) and I'm okay with art projects that look like they were made by a toddler, rather than a pinterest pro.

Because of moves, we've had our children in 3 different child care centers, and CDCC was by FAR the…read morebest. I hesitate to even call it a child care center, because it really is so much more. Ms. Lois is the most genuine individual. She is friendly, welcoming, knows and remembers all the small details of our life, and truly cares about every child and family. We've experienced a lot of bureaucracy and felt like a dollar sign at other centers but not here. Lois bent over backwards to help us get care for a child who was temporarily staying with us when we were in a bind. The teachers all feel like family who love our kids like their own. They've been part of the neighborhood for decades, and it shows. I love that they provide home cooked meals, neighborhood walks, park and outdoor time, story time at Douglass Truth Library, swim lessons at Medgar Evers pool, and so much more. Our kids attended for 2 years before we moved, and it's still the part of Seattle I miss the most. Thank you CDCC for being such a valuable part of our children's lives!

My wife worked there for a few months and our child attended daycare here, I could give you a hundred reasons why to not use this daycare. They don't care about COVID guidelines at all, they don't give out orientation paperwork, they said they did potty training, they dont, they have a mask policy that nobody follows, they promised a lot of things upon hiring, like paid parking and tuition discounts among other things. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me @ pnwhomeimprovement@gmail.com. Here's a copy of the email I just sent to Amy regarding these issues. "Well, to say the least I am very displeased with the overall experiences our family had with the horrible excuse for a childcare center you guys are running. First and foremost are the issues with licensing, my wife was never told about her STARS certifications until after her 90 days. And it turns out you have this issue with a lot of your employees? My wife was promised paid parking, 75% tuition fee discounts, and a 90 day pay raise that was never issued. Those are the issues I have regarding employment. Regarding the childcare, we were told that your daycare has lesson plans and potty training. Which you guys promised knowing that you don't offer these services. Your employees are required to wear masks yet nobody does? We started childcare with a subsidy and were never told of the steps in place to inform DCYF of our childcare changes. There are a lot of issues here that I think you should be aware of if you already aren't. We will be disputing any charges placed on us and will be forwarding this information to Mary Johnson at Constituent Relations for DCYF. Thank you, Jeremy E Grove PNW Home Improvement LLC LIC #PNWHOHI793P1" I will keep anyone informed if I hear back from anyone within the company, which I doubt.

In…read moretimes of COVID, we have been in a community of teachers and families who take public health guidelines seriously which has allowed us to stay open safely. As mentioned in other reviews the teacher turnover is little to none - most teachers have known my 2yo since she was a 3mo and it shows. For my daughter, GT is her home away from home and it's because they know her so well and are thus able to guide her learning and development in a highly personalized way. She always runs into the center every morning eagerly without even saying goodbye- which would break my heart (!) except that I know it's just because she's having a great experience there every day. Recently our dog died and I asked for advice and the resources I was sent were so thoughtful and comprehensive - they do more than care for our kids, they care for our families. The staff are well educated in early childhood development and provide a kind, caring, and structured environment that allows kids to thrive! Kids thrive on a predictable schedule and environment. At every developmental struggle from naptime to picky eating to dealing with big emotions we have followed the lead of her teachers and have met with success time and time again. I have read books on child sleep, emotions, and nutrition, but now I just follow the advice of GT teachers who provide more valuable information tailored to our specific issue at hand than I could find in any book. I often find myself repeating their advice to my PEPS group and looking like a hero! People always comment on how lucky we are that our kid sleeps and eats so well and is so happy and well adjusted- it's not luck, it's Green Tree.

Locations include the aquarium, Pike Place Market, the fire station, the library, Volunteer Park, and the water taxi to West Seattle. This is always our older child's favorite day and it's amazing how much it has fostered a sense of independence and curiosity about our community. 3) KidsCentre provides pretty much everything - diapers, wipes, and all meals. Both of our kids have food allergies and KC is accommodating and provides alternative options when needed (which we found was not the case at most other child care centers we toured) 4) The teachers foster a sense of routine so that the children know roughly how the day will flow every day, which has created confidence and a sense of calm with our kids. But most importantly, our kids feel safe, loved, and intellectually stimulated at KidsCentre and we would highly recommend!

That kind of thoughtfulness goes so far beyond what any seamstress is required to do.

Their technicians are great, and they try to send the same person every time, which I appreciate. My current tech, Kevin, really goes above and beyond. He noticed an area near my front door where rodents were potentially hiding, so he put down some wiring to protect the area without me asking. He also gives me at-home spider traps I can use and even disposes of them during his visits since it rather grosses me out to do so :) Also, during my most recent appointment, I was totally frazzled due to meetings happening at work, and I told Kevin to go ahead and spray my garage area, and that I'd close the garage door later when I could. What I discovered later is that Kevin actually closed the door himself without me asking, which just shows that he actually thinks about the customer and what's best for them. That defines good service. Finally, their customer service folks are also great. Whenever I've had to reschedule or have questions, they are always easy to get a hold of, prompt, and friendly. Parker Eco is the kind of company where you don't have to think too hard about using their services because they're really good at what they do.

The pickup and drop-off part of this service is AMAZING, especially for someone with a busy schedule! They scheduled pick up at my house within a week despite having a high demand for wedding dress cleaning at the time, and sent me an update about what they were planning to do once they had their wedding dress expert take a look at the dress. Their turnaround time was much faster than I expected and they even sent pictures right after the cleaning was finished so I could see how well it came out! I had not requested a steaming since I didn't have plans to use the dress again anytime soon, but they did one complimentary for me which made the dress look absolutely stunning and like it was brand new. There was not a single residual stain left and the dress did not smell like anything - it was just perfectly clean. The final cost of the cleaning was exactly what I expected from the quote and I felt it was incredibly reasonable for the amount of cleaning they had to do, the speed and very high quality of service, and the helpful communication throughout the process.

They kept on hassling me about my clothes and texting me for approval for new costs. The texting person gave me an estimate and sent me like over 10 photos of my clothes to point out all the stains and hair that was on my clothes and repeatedly told me my clothes were wrinkled and very dirty. This was unnecessary and made me feel attacked and shamed. Like WTF?? I just wanted them to clean my clothes not pick faults with me! Instead, they acted like they were taking me to court! So much unnecessary stress and hassle for dry cleaners! They ended up charging me over $50 more than originally estimated because my clothes were oh so hard to clean and so dirty. Despite going over the original estimate, they still hassled and tried to guilt me for tip at the end saying they gave me a deal. What deal? Your services are super expensive! The tone they texted me was just so very rude it's like they didn't want me as a customer. I never fought them on the expensive costs but they were hostile from the start. I ended up going back to my previous dry cleaners, City Custom Tailor & Dry Cleaners in Belltown. They are not cheap either, but a little less expensive and they are chill. I do not think cheap dry cleaning exists in Seattle but this service sucks.

This place was a life saver when our original daycare closed down. They offer well staffed programs from infant room to after-school. They are owned and operated by a church and promote Christian values. But the focus is on values not dogma so it is comfortable for people of any faith. They have a full size gym for rainy days and a commercial kitchen where they make meals for the toddlers and older kids. Meals and snacks are included in the price which I know you don't get at every facility. I have always felt comfortable dropping my son off here. He is almost 4yrs now and has attended since he was 4 months. You can email Leah the director at northgatepre@yahoo.com. Note that they were formerly called The Northgate Preschool so some signage may still refer to that. read more

Check out an open house, play date or check with our register about visiting a class one day if you are considering schools.

I can't say enough good things about the entire staff, we've had an amazing experience here. The center directors - Jenny and Meghan are both incredible and made us feel so comfortable every step of the way. Our daughter started here when she was 6 months old in the infant room and is now almost 2. All of the teachers and staff truly feel like family and take such amazing care of our daughter. She gets excited to go to school everyday! We are so thankful for each and every person at Northgate Kindercare! If you have the chance to enroll here, don't hesitate!

Learn N Play daycare

We love Learn N Play Daycare. Our 2-year-old loves going to Reyna's. She takes safety seriously,…read moreshe has great facilities that she keeps upgrading, and the downstairs is basically a kid toy kingdom that we couldn't believe the first time we saw it. It's also really nice that the daycare is just a few seconds off of I-5 (Exit 176). Most important, though, is that when we drop off our son, we feel like it's the closest thing to him being with family. He gets a ton of affection and attention without the craziness and impersonality of a large daycare. Again, we just can't recommend Reyna's daycare center enough. You can't go wrong here! P.S.. Once we picked him up early and she sent home the lunch she'd made for him. It was delicious. I hate to admit that we ate most of it :)
