I joined Overlake KinderCare a few months ago, and the change in my son has been incredible. He…read morecame from a center where he had behavior issues due to the lack of care from his previous teacher. He had major behavior concerns both at school and at home and was experiencing significant language regression because he wasn't receiving proper care. He would come home angry and frustrated. Since joining Overlake KinderCare, his behavior has completely transformed. He is now constantly talking, using clear words, and can have full conversations with me. He has become a completely different, happy child. The center director Luisa has personally addressed all of my questions immediately, and his teachers are warm and welcoming. Now, he comes home happy and looks forward to going to school every single day. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to the teacher Ms. Lilly and the center director Luisa for taking such wonderful care of my son. Knowing that he is being well taken care of, safe, and loved at this center has been a great relief for me.

I could not give Overlake KinderCare more than five stars, but if I could, I would!!! My child was…read morethere for about 3 years and she thrived in every way. The outstanding communication and care shown by both the directors and the staff has set the gold standard in my opinion. I always felt at ease leaving my kiddo with them because I knew without a doubt, she was in safe, capable hands. They offered more activities and fun events than any other center I've experienced and truly care about each child as an individual. Overlake KinderCare meets your child where their at and works with parents and staff to encourage your child's success and happiness while they are enrolled. Incredible values, and genuine, compassionate people. We will miss you guys!!!

My 1st grader has been here for a few break camps and has loved it and asked to go back again. The staff is very nice and the kids seem to learn a lot yet have fun at the same time. I only wish the space was a little bigger and that for the camps esp the longer ones in the summer that they would take the kids out for some outdoor time (i.e. for lunch or a quick break) since they are inside for the whole time in a classroom-like setting. They also host birthday parties so that will be the next thing for us to explore soon...another perk is if your company offers Bright Horizons childcare credit, you can use it here for camp days!

She clearly recognize that each child is unique, with their own set of demands and learning style. She is able to provide guidance and support that is suited to each child's individual requirements by keeping a close eye on them. Our Son was amazed at some of the things he was able to do. It was really special to watch him smile at himself as he accomplished one thing after another. Especially his math and reading skills . He was doing math and reading he thought he could not to before. Pros: High Math skills and High reading skills. Teacher Manju is great at helping the kids to excel.

I have been trying to resolve an ongoing noise issue with the nearby daycare in a respectful and…read morereasonable manner, but unfortunately my experience has been disappointing. When I called the main customer service number, I spoke with a very kind representative who assured me that the district manager would contact me to discuss my concerns. Unfortunately, I never received that callback. I also spoke with the school manager directly. In my experience, the conversation was dismissive rather than productive. I explained that the prolonged, high-pitched screaming from a few children echoes throughout the surrounding apartment community and has become a daily disruption for nearby residents. I was told that the children are allowed to scream as a form of self-expression. While I understand the importance of allowing children to express themselves, I believe there should also be reasonable consideration for the people who live nearby and are affected by the constant noise. I work from home several days each week, and the screaming is loud enough to be heard clearly inside my apartment, even with the windows closed. This has become a recurring quality-of-life issue. If this continues without any effort to address it, I will have no choice but to contact the local police non-emergency line to request a welfare check whenever I hear prolonged screaming that reasonably causes concern. When children are screaming continuously at such an extreme volume, it can be difficult for nearby residents to distinguish normal play from a child who may genuinely need help. I sincerely hope the daycare will work with the surrounding community so that this situation can be resolved without further escalation.

Our daughter was sick for ~2 weeks out of a month attending this daycare and we ended up pulling…read moreher. This daycare had persistent cleanliness concerns. During one 2 week span, there were multiple outbreaks including RSV, rotavirus, chickenpox, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, and pinworms. While illnesses can happen in any daycare setting, repeated spread of infections that commonly move through close contact and poor hygiene raised concerns for us. Toys and surfaces often felt sticky and did not appear to be cleaned properly. When concerns were raised, the director was dismissive rather than addressing them. Communication with staff was also difficult due to a language barrier, which made it harder to discuss concerns about care and hygiene.

Our two sons both graduated from Sno Spring School, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. This…read moreschool is a true hidden gem in Issaquah. What sets Sno Spring apart from other schools is the incredible stability and dedication of the staff. Unlike schools with high turnover rates, most of the teachers here have been teaching for 10+ years. Every single teacher is loving, caring, and truly dedicated to their profession. Academically, the school is fantastic. They do a wonderful job accommodating math and reading levels to match each student's individual progress. My younger son started in preschool with very little English. After just one year, he was reading independently at an AR level of 1.4. Now in 1st grade, he is a confident reader at level 5.1! We are so impressed with his academic achievements, but that's only half the story. Beyond the academic, the teachers encourage the kids to behave properly, build confidence, and make friends. My son has developed into a caring, responsible kid. Today was his last day as he moves to a new private school. He cried the whole afternoon since he didn't want to leave. He told me that he feels loved every single day and that what he will miss most are the teachers who taught him not just knowledge, but how to be a confident person who cares for others. We are so grateful. Strongly recommend this school to all families!

I have taken a lot of time to wait and write this review as I did not want it to be done when I was…read moreso angry - nearly 6 months later here I am. My son made it a total of 10 days at Tara's Daycare. We were up front of some behavioral issues that he experiences as he has a diagnosis of Anxiety and ADHD, in which she stated that she could handle. Unfortunately she was not equipped to do so. We had started a new medication for him (first time medicating him) and there were several off handed comments on "bad days" that were made such as: "did you medicate him this morning?". She clearly did not understand his disorders. I was called numerous times in the middle of the day to pick him up, which I would. I could hear him in the background breaking. I was told they kept him from the other children for their "safety". I am understanding of her responsibility to protect her other students, but she was not experienced in working with more challenging children. She shouldn't have stated that she had any such experience. She even told me that she had never met a child like my son in the X amount of time she has worked in the field (real nice!) She would talk about my son's emotional outburst in front of him to the point that it was taking a toll on him. The last day we were there I got a call from her with a voicemail saying I needed to come now, when I got there my son was sitting there broken, crying. She started in with raising her voice and telling me how horrible my son is. I picked him up and rocked him telling him everything was going to be okay. I told her it was clear that this was not a good fit and we never went back. When I got into the car I told my son he never had to go back there again. My son still talks about her as "mean teacher". He typically likes just about anyone. I warn you to not take your children here. There were several times I walked in and her voice was raised loud enough to make me uncomfortable with how she spoke to other children. She does not talk to children with respect, if they are in the least bit misbehaving. Additionally she had several people helping her in the 10 days we were there. 2 of which i was never introduced to, nor was I told prior that other adults that did not include herself, or her assistant would be watching my child.

When I see my son interacting with other kids, they are attentive and share toys with him and give him hugs whenever he comes and goes. It's very nice to know that he is in a caring environment while he isn't home.
