After a few years of happy learning alongside great friends in a nurturing environment and we sent our daughter off to Kindergarten with a full heart and a thirst for learning. April's Play School was a very peaceful place filled with laughter and respectful friends. A couple years following her final Pre K class, she decided to bring the same fun curriculum to an outdoor summer camp and invite older kids to join along as participants or even junior counselors. Our youngest joined in for a week of camp along with her cousins. They had an amazing time. It's so fun to know that the kids are just being kids (with supervision), in nature, making up games and stories, building forts or even doing a structured project like washing berries and making jam. They took hikes and collected bugs. They did kid stuff and got dirty and maybe a little sweaty and they just had a blast. I was thrilled to hear that Camp Roots was gearing up for a 6 week run this summer. I immediately signed my little one up for 3 weeks and my Freshman aged son up to participate in the volunteering program. I'm expecting the same old thing as last time: slightly dirty, extremely happy & tired kids, competing with each other to over share their accomplishments of the day with me over dinner. It's soul filling to drop the hyper academic stuff for a few weeks and watch the kids truly enjoy (fairly) unstructured summer play. Go Camp Roots!!!

My kids joined the 9am to 3pm summer camp for a week. The coaches didn't teach them anything: no…read moredemonstrations on how to shoot, dribbling, passing, nor correction on proper forms, none of that. I was there watching the camp several times during the day. Most of what I saw was coaches sitting on the bleachers on the phone, or standing there watching the campers but not engaging nor teaching them anything. My kids came back home and said that they didn't learn anything. The single week camp cost $500 per kid for a week for 6 hours a day. That's a really expensive kid-sitter in an open gym.

Some of the ABC top instructors from around the country are scheduled for this year." The reality was quite different... First, you usually expect some communication prior to camp start, like reminder, etc. But that's okay. The camp itself was described by my son as 'super low energy'. He felt like coaches didn't really want to be there, and didn't really do much besides giving drills, and free time shooting around or playing 1:1s and 3:3s. Coaches didn't attempt to fix any mistakes, etc. Looks like they were more into supercars, advertised at the desk. Not sure what happened with ABC top instructors and special appearances, but this was like night and day difference from a couple of other camps we did this summer.

I can't say enough good things about Arrowhead Inglemoor Preschool. As an educator myself, I have…read morepretty high expectations when it comes to my child's education. The staff here are incredible and genuinely care about each individual student. They know the families and take time to ensure that each child feels welcome, a sense of belonging, and that they are valued members of the school. All year I have felt as though the staff have wrapped their arms around our entire family, including grandparents who regularly pick up my child. Educationally, my child is well prepared for kindergarten and he has showed excitement about his learning. From weaving in daily routines that mimic that of a kindergarten classroom, teaching, foundational reading skills and math concepts, they create a learning space that is highly engaging and prepares children for elementary school. My kid was eager to share all that he was learning and proud of the work he brought home each day. Perhaps the greatest indicator of a successful preschool year was that my son regularly wanted to go to school. He showed disappointment on the weekend or when he didn't have an extended lunch buddy day. The fact that he loved school and his teachers were proof enough that this is an incredible school. This preschool has a true community feel and I couldn't be happier about the warm environment that my child spent a year in. I wish I had found this gem sooner and can't wait to have my youngest go there as soon as he is able to.

Prior to AIP I had my children in a co-op, but with more kids it was challenging to work in the classroom. My first draw to AIP with 3 kids 3 and under was that they have DRIVE THRU drop-off and pick-up, so I didn't need to get my other two kids out of the car. Now that my older 3 are in elementary I don't need this as much, but it still can be a great option (especially if I'm running 5-10 minutes late!) They have a lot of great enrichments across the year (these vary depending on what class you're in) field trips: pumpkin farm, farm, Kirkland Storybook Theater, Children's Museum, fire station, pond, as well as lots of incursions: bunnies, reptile man or lady, police officer, fire fighters, dentist and then of course mommy and muffins, daddy and donuts, Valentine, Easter, and harvest parties as well as an end-of year carnival in 4s and 5s classes. They also have a Christmas and end of year program. Note, this program only runs through May, this surprised me the first couple years, but they have offered a 2-3 week "summer camp" extention into June for those who want a longer year. My two oldest boys and my youngest will attend the 5s class which is a great option for children that need an extra year before kindergarten or are on the older end. They have a great balance of educational curriculum which addresses kindergarten readiness through zoophonics, writing their name, numbers and colors (again, based on age), daily art and lots of play (rotation of toys and sensory activities). They will meet with you in January to let you know how your student is doing, but they are very responsive if you have a concern or want to know more sooner. They either go outside or set up indoor movement play activity, this isn't an outdoor preschool so if it's a rainy day they won't necessarily go outside. They regularly post photos to their private Facebook group so you can see what's going on inside of the classroom. We love Arrowhead Inglemoor Preschool, it is has been a great fit for our family! Note: This is a preschool that runs out of Epiphany Lutheran Church and they will sing Christmas songs, and go to chapel once a month and learn a Bible story. If that is something that bothers you, this probably isn't the right preschool for you!

The North Cascades Learning tour guides were extremely gracious, and provided extensive insights about the land, lake, and dams. If you're wanting to attend this tour plan ahead to arrive on time, park exactly where it's designated to park (if you choose to park where it states no parking you are running the risk of car damage due too falling rock debris) pack allergy friendly snacks, and plan to explore the learning center, gift shop, and walking trails after the tour and lunch. I highly recommend for all, and will be referring all of our out of town guests to plan a day trip to the North Cascades National park and secure a ticket for the Diablo Lake tour.

The P5 teacher Jennifer is exactly the same but hides behind the director. Encouraged my family to seek an IEP solely as a means to kick my kindergarten age daughters out. Tried to circumvent the IEP process by trying to reach out to the care team to gain a recommendation that supported their goal of kicking my kid out. When that failed the principal lied about what the care team recommended. Bullied, harassed, and finally attempted to blackmail my family into voluntarily pulling my kid out in the last few months of the school year. This behavior started escalating the day of our IEP assessment and ended in a forced reduction of service before any accommodation request was made. This was after a glowing assessment of my daughter's growth. When I made a complaint about discrimination against the Preschool Director they declined to investigate without so much as a call to discuss my concerns.

I wish I had read the reviews here before signing my kid up for camp…read more In Feb 2023, I signed my 8 yr old up for 2 weeks of summer camp in July 2023. I signed him up to a morning camp & afternoon camp (2 camps held during the same week to ensure he was in an all-day camp). 7 days before the camp, I got an email confirming his upcoming camp & instructions on where to park, what to bring, etc. 4 days before the camp start date, they emailed me saying that both camps were cancelled due to not insufficient enrolled campers. I just cannot believe how little notice they gave me. They did offer alternatives like signing up for another week or taking my kid to the Redmond location (which was not feasible for our family ). In the first couple of emails they sent me, they did not offer me the opportunity to get a refund. I had to ask. I also asked that they call me - I thought it would be easier to communicate rather than exchange emails, but they were reluctant to do so. There is no phone number listed on their website. On the refund email, there is a phone number listed but when I called, I found out the number was not in service. When the manager finally called me, he was nice and understanding, but ultimately there was nothing he could do. Luckily I asked about the following week's camp and he informed me that the following week is also cancelled. I'm glad I asked, otherwise I don't know when they would have informed me (why they didn't inform me of all the cancelations all at once is beyond me). My kid was so excited for this camp! It's so disappointing. And now, it's way too late to find any other summer camp in Seattle for next week. I am stuck trying to find other childcare options. I can't speak about the quality of the camp, but Coding With Kids is definitely not being run professionally based on my experience.

Go to Napa Auto Parts and then go around the corner and you'll find it. It was $10 to play, not $7 as someone else mentioned, so clearly their price has gone up. In addition, the door was held open and it was cold inside so wearing layers would be suggested. But we were the only 2 people in the whole place and our toddlers loved jumping on the different trampolines and exploring all of the different playsets/slides.
