If you are looking for a school that will partner with you to provide your student with an immense amount of good knowledge, teach your child how to think critically, and instruct your student on how to apply that knowledge and logic to be a future Christian leader, this is probably the place for you and your family.

I can give a pretty unique review of this school as I was one of the original students that…read moreattended the school when it first opened in 1997. To say that my experience there was horrific would be putting it mildly. This school is based off of antiquated fundamentalist Christian ideals and the staff have no interest in teaching children about the true love of Christ. They focus so much attention on the legalities of Christianity, rather than focusing on Christ's grace and love for mankind. I was 11 years old when my parents decided to move me to this "school" and it was worst decision they could have ever made for me. I was placed in Laura Young's 5th grade class and she personally attacked and victimized me every chance she got, even though I was only a young child. I was shunned by other staff members, teachers and students alike simply because I liked girly things such as wearing lip gloss or nail polish. Teachers would tell students not to eat lunch with me because I was "too sinful" so I spent most of my time there alone. It was incredibly damaging to my self-esteem as a young child. As far as the education goes, sure, it was better than the average public school but a good education didn't make up for the horrific treatment that I experienced at the hands of the faculty and their offspring. Laura Young made our 5th grade class memorize the declaration of independence word for word. Let me tell you that as someone who now works at one of the largest corporations in the United States and makes well over six figures a year, memorizing the declaration of independence did absolutely nothing to aid me in my career (or in any part of my life for that matter). I have looked at the current faculty as of 2023 and I still see some of the same faces that I did when I was in attendance at this school. Those same teachers and administrators tormented me, all in the name of God. Word to the wise...if you value your child's wellbeing and spiritual health, stay very far away from this school. There are plenty of other Christian schools in the area that still offer a good education, without the extreme judgment and psychological abuse that your child will no doubt experience if enrolled in this utter pathetic excuse for a school.

I toured EVERY daycare and preschool within a 15 mile radius for an entire year. New Song Academy was a newer operation at the time of my initial tour and they had only been open for two or three years. So, I was a little nervous at first. However, two years later after returning from work from the pandemic shut down, the director, Susan still remembered me and my son. She is always very responsive and kind. She and all of the teachers are passionate about what they do and offer a loving and enriching environment for the children. All of the teachers are experienced and educated childcare professionals. They post a reliable food menu along with a new curriculum every month that they ACTUALLY follow. Some places don't always follow through with what they say they do. This place does! The classrooms are clean and organized with a wide variety of books and toys to choose from. They provide a structured schedule which gives the kids comfort. The teachers are very much in charge of the classroom without yelling or scolding. I have yet to witness an out of control environment no matter what time I show up. No running around screaming and crying kids in the corner here. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it happens but I haven't seen it. They have a fenced outdoor playground with age appropriate play equipment. Sectioned for different age groups. Even a covered outdoor play area. The kids go outside every day. The teachers watch them closely as they play. They offer healthy food options from a variety of cultures. My son was an extremely picky eater before he started here and now he will try just about anything. We have a true community among the other families and because they are a Christian based school, we even got to see a Christmas performance with all of the children this year! They encourage the parents to volunteer to deepen that sense of community. I find this transparency very reassuring. They are focused on academics and getting the kids kindergarten ready. My son loves this school, his friends and all of his teachers! If you have been searching for quality childcare for an affordable price, this is it. I couldn't be happier with my choice and would recommend this school to anyone.

My son Micah has been attending NSA since it first opened in January of 2018. Both Susan and Michelle "teachers" are down-to-earth and have passion for children. They communicate with parents on a daily basis via app called "Kidsnote". I get to see what my son ate for lunch, how much he ate and how long he napped, what activities he participated and etc. It's very informative and helpful to learn how my child's day was at school. Good communication is so valuable and it promotes trust and transparency between the school and parents. New Song Academy is definitely NOT profit-driven but provision-driven. At the heart of New Song Academy and its teachers, there's a passion to "provide" for those precious children. Providing safe place and wonderful time for children to cherish and remember (in their life as young kids and even as grownups in the future) is what's happening at New Song Academy. They're equipping children to be content in what they do and be confident in who they are, so that they can enjoy life to fullest, respect their parents and others, and appreciate what the world has to offer. This is my belief in their teaching and care for my precious son Micah and other children who are so special. I have no hesitation to recommend New Song Academy to those parents who care so much, about their children and their life.

The teachers are so caring but I also feel so confident about sending her to kindergarten in a few months. She has come so far learning how to write her name, letters, numbers, counting, drawing and coloring, and selfishly I love how she picks up after herself when playing at home! They do such fun crafts, stem projects, she has brought home plants before and one year they made a homemade peppermint soap for Christmas. So cool! They have a great balance of learning inside but also lots of time outside! They have an indoor play area too which is nice when it's super rainy outside. Only con is they don't provide lunch, but can't have it all!

Woodinville Montessori may not be for everyone. Its orderly environment is maintained by…read morerestricting the freedom for some kids to learn and explore on their own. When a kid fails to comply due to their age or personality, parents are simply told to take their kid somewhere else with very little regard to what it does to a young child's mind or heart. I went to a Montessori inspired school myself. Although I have never been trained or certified as a Montessori teacher, I have years of experience on the receiving end. For me, the Montessori system allowed me to learn independently at my own pace. The freedom to learn was essential for me to establish self-confidence. Because of that, we believe our 3 year old child can benefit from the Montessori system as well. Our child was accepted to the early childhood program. It's a mixed-age class with 20 children ranging from 3 to 6 years old. Being one of the youngest children in the class, it would require time for him/her to adjust to the transition. Prior to Woodinville Montessori, he/she has been going to a play-based daycare with kids in the same age group. The transition was not easy. Our child struggled adapting to the new environment. However, he/she was making progress. During our scheduled one-on-one with the teacher, we talked about his/her struggles and improvements. Everything was appearing to be heading in the right direction. There was no mention of rejecting him/her from the school during this meeting. We even asked the teacher if there is anything concerning that requires special attention. Nevertheless, we received an email from the school 2 weeks after our one on one meeting with the teacher indicating the need to discuss his/her "readiness" to continue attending Woodinville Montessori. A special meeting was set up as the result of that email. We attended the meeting ready to make necessary adjustments to better prepare our 3 year old for the school. We actually looked forward to receiving recommendations. Instead of providing constructive suggestions, the school basically told us to take our child somewhere else. It was explained to us that the primary reason for the school's decision was his/her poor ability to follow instructions. During this meeting, the school demonstrated very little understanding of our child and willingness to work with us. Our kid is not a perfect kid. He/she can be challenging at times. We are certainly not perfect parents either. However, we try our best to understand and to make the best decisions based on this understanding. The expectation from Woodinville Montessori for a 3 year old child to follow directions and stop exploring on their own was not the best for our child. The school's lack of willingness to work together was also extremely discouraging. The Montessori method was originally developed to help children with learning disabilities. It was the method for teaching the "unteachable". It's based on the understanding of how a child's mind works. Although an "orderly" environment is a major element in the Montessori method, it should not interfere with the children's natural tendency to want to explore. Montessori or not, the purpose of education is to help the children. Turning them away when they are struggling simply does not align with this fundamental goal. We saw the efforts from our child trying to adjust and to be accepted to the new environment. It was heartbreaking when all their effort was simply rejected. In the end, imagine having to explain to your child that they cannot go to the school and see their friends anymore.
