    Little Farm Preschool is a magical place. We've been with Little Farm Preschool going on 3 years…read moreand plan on staying with them with my youngest CURRENTLY in the program for another two years. Our family started with the original owners in 2023 & they sold it to a wonderful family that genuinely cares for their staff, our children and families. Yes, the original owners sold it abruptly & that transition was difficult but it was not at the expense of the new owners. The original owners Mrs. Margo & Chrissy did not disclose this to the parents currently enrolled until Feb 2025, when the business was already put up for sale in late 2024. So as parents and even their own staff we were surprised, which was not the new owners fault. They came in very transparent and welcoming and that has not changed since taking over Little Farm Preschoool. However, the new owners made major improvements that created so much physical classroom space, indoor play area and reading nook that has an up to date fire & safety features (which wasn't there before). The new teachers Ms. Gwen & Ms Kolby are AMAZING! The owners and teachers have degrees in Early Child Education and Development with years of experience working with children. Every morning they welcome our little ones with their smiles and warmth the children look forward to their day. The teachers are so nurturing, patient and supportive with separation anxiety or behavioral challenges, which they always communicate with parents through the parent app as a heads up so we can talk about it in person if needed. They truly are so hard working to create such a creative and fun hands-on activities for learning and safe environment for our children. One thing that the new teachers/owners incorporated, which was not done with previous owners was an academic assessment. No pressure on the kid, but teachers are observing & use a simple guideline to measure the children's academic improvement from beginning of the school year and we checked in during the quarter of the year during parent teacher conferences and measure the improvements your child is making. The goal is to make sure the children are ready to enter Elementary school by building the child's confidence knowing their ABC's, recognition of letters, shapes, numbers, etc. through a curriculum that is fun and very effective as the children learn through arts, crafts, music, story time, outdoor play and using their creative minds. In the outdoor space there are goats & chickens and inside the classroom have fish and plants they are responsible in taking turns feeding. Every holiday and birthday is celebrated with so much enthusiasm and excitement. At pick up time you can see the smiles on our children's faces as they show us their projects for the day, tell us about all the fun they had and say good-bye to their friends each day. I can go on and on and rave about Little Farm Preschool and what a wonderful and magical place it is for my children. The new owner Sonam has improved this preschool in so many ways and we look forward to continuing to work with her and their staff in the future.

    I wish we had never come to the Little Farm Preschool. It started out fine, but then the original…read moreowners of the school abruptly sold the entire preschool mid-way through the school year, causing a major disruption to the staff and students. They also took the animals with them, defeating the "farm" aspect of the school. They sold the school around February, 2025. So any reviews posted prior to this date should probably be disregarded. Margo and Chrissy do not own the school anymore and have nothing to do with it. After a couple of months under the new ownership, reportedly due to the behavior of the new owners and safety concerns about the new owners, all three of the existing teachers (that our children knew and loved) quit with 5 weeks left in the school year. This is obviously a huge disruption and quite upsetting to the children. The new owners very quickly hired two new "teachers" and had them starting within a week of the previous teachers quitting. I cannot imagine there was enough time for an adequate background check or vetting of these two new employees. The owners were desperate to hire anyone just to keep the school open. The owners are also extremely defensive about the whole situation and refuse to accept any blame or issue any sort of apology or reassurance that the safety concerns in question would be addressed and fixed. The whole environment and vibe of the school is now just negative and toxic so we pulled our child from the school. The owners are also refusing to issue a tuition refund for the last month of school.

    My 21-month-old had a good time here today! I needed a place reasonably close by to take him on…read morerainy days. Cost is $10 for one child for all day and the place seemed clean and bright. The place has a big, climbable fire truck that my son loved. The place has several different themed rooms (grocery store, beauty salon, vet clinic, fire station) with coordinating toys and dress-up clothing for pretend play. The woman at the front desk said more themed rooms were in the works, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they add. Plus, there is a big play house with two sets of stairs and a big twisty slide to get down. I did see a small area for younger babies that i think was labeled for toddlers, but there is no way a walking kiddo will want to stay put there when they see all the cool stuff there is to explore! Kids and adults keep their shoes on here, and I noticed two party rooms for birthday parties. They also have events from time to time. Tonight, for example, they are doing pumpkin decorating. Apparently there is also a preschool here, although I don't know anything about it. You will have to decide for yourself if the place is worth the cost. My son only makes it about an hour at any play place / playground before he tires out or melts down, and he enjoys Kids Cove up in Bellevue (which is free) just as much, but some days driving up to Bellevue in 405 traffic is a pain and I'd rather go somewhere closer by that doesn't involve a mall parking lot (esp as the Christmas shopping season draws near). Plus going to the same places over and over gets monotonous for me as a parent. Wish there were more options in Renton where I live, but I still feel this place is worth the 20-minute drive. We will be coming back!

    This has been a great preschool for our family for the last three years! The staff and admins work…read morehard to create a warm, welcoming environment where both my daughters are thriving. I originally chose this school because they offer a 2 year old class (parent attends with child) which gave both my daughters a great intro to school and helped them get comfortable for subsequent years. They offer plenty of different options, including various schedules for the 3 and 4 year olds, and an Enrichment program for the 4 year olds where you can extend their school day. I also like that they offer an elective co-op. So I am able to volunteer in their classrooms, but if that doesn't work for your schedule you don't have to choose co-op. Classroom time is a good mix of learning through play and structured learning that I feel is a great foundation for Kindergarten. They have a playground and when the weather is too stormy, they have a large indoor space for indoor recess. If you are looking for a great faith based preschool, definitely check them out!

By providing a well-balanced variety of age-appropriate activities, they encourage social, physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth and development. It is also our goal to see each child grow in confidence, competence, and compassion. With this emphasis on the whole child, our goal is to nurture a love of learning, a feeling of belonging, and a discovery of God's love for them.
