My younger sister and I used to go to BF Day, and our baby sister goes there now, and let me tell…read moreyou, that is dang good school. It's a small-ish school (as most elementary schools are) in Fremont, near the Woodland Park Zoo. BF Day is rather diverse in all meanings of the word, and does a good job of teaching kids that everyone is important and loved. The parents are generally lovely, as are the teachers, though many of my favorite staff members have retired. It can be a bit of a hippy school, but that is far from a negative, it just encourages kids to explore their creative sides and embrace themselves. I haven't heard a single negative thing about BF Day, though I do know that due to some zoning issues, a lot of kids have lost their transportation, which is a majorly sucky, but I don't believe that the school is at fault there. tl;dr BF Day is pretty much the best and everyone who went there loved it

NOT CLOSED, people! Not at all! When I moved my boys and me…read morenorthward from Portland to Seattle, I had researched the "cluster" school system (never was a name more appropriate for a system or situation), though my research was clearly insufficient. Because I made certain that I moved into what I thought would be the perfect cluster for my kids' schooling needs and profile...I just failed to realize that would make no difference whatsoever to where they went to school. My boys are half hispanic, and I wanted very much to continue with the Spanish language education I only sporadically inflict on them at home. So I moved into the Laurelhurst-ish "cluster." What Seattle did not advertise is that its school zoning situation is not just a cluster, but the mother of all godforsaken clusters. They found no availability in any ONE school for both my boys. That's because clusters at the time were only "suggestions" of where kids could attend schools. Suggestions that were largely completely ignored, and no matter where you lived in Seattle, your kid could be bussed into nearly any zone at all. So you can basically move your family onto a tent settlement ATOP a particular school, and not be allowed to enroll in it until the 300-child wait list of kids from a school 15 miles away takes their priority. W, as the kids say, TF. So the last years have been a constant cluster indeed, with my boys in two different schools and and in and out of several. Having tried or toured quite a few schools in the area now, I can say, this one is my favorite elementary school in Seattle so far. My son has a wonderful teacher, Miss Jackson (and yes, it is so punishingly hard not to say, or at least think, "If you're nasty!" every time I say her name) who despite being forced, as all teachers are, to teach to a strict test curriculum imposed by the lowest-common-denominator-encouraging "No Child Left Behind" legislation, is still highly dynamic, wildly flexible, and very encouraging of creativity in all its manifestations. I absolutely love her, and I love the diversity of the students and the parents--a graceful blend of the privileged and the struggling, chaotic and the orderly, the uber-hippies and the uber-hipsters who all somehow manage to be very empathic and very likable. It also sits at just the right notch on the spectrum of academic rigor. We tried John Stanford International with Nico, and he called them "The Von Trapp Family Singers." Whistles to encourage hallway lineups? No talking in the corridors? Boys' and Girls' lines for 5th graders? No dark sarcasm? In the CLASSROOM?! Yikes. Plus every mom I met there without a single exception kind of gave me the impression that the only hard decision she has to make in any three-week period is whether to give her cook, nanny and housekeeper massages or Lush bars as holiday gifts. I'm extremely grateful for this school and for how happy Maximo is to attend it. Teaching excellence here is clearly valued, as is parental involvement. If you're in the area AND in the market for an elementary school, stop in and say hi. They're great people.

Devi Ward is sexy and dangerous and probably one of the best Tibetan Tantra teachers around. It…read moretook years to find her but well worth it. One of the things she helped me do was regain my sexual confidence after a romantic rejection I took hard. Devi also guided me to regain my inner footing around sexuality. Rather than tell me to just go out and get lucky she supported me in developing my own inner sexual confidence without associating validation from another person. When the student is ready the teacher appears. After I cried out all the tears of feeling rejected as a woman, of rejecting my own femininity, but no thoughts of joining a convent entered my mind. Serendipity stepped in a month later when a friend of mine forwarded a newsletter to me via facebook. It was written by Devi Ward about Tibetan Tantra. Even though she is based in Seattle, Devi is able to teach the practices virtually via Skype. I just knew what healing remedy was that needed and wanted to do. My intuition compelled me to respond. The path was clear and glad I followed my intuition to start the steps towards Tantrika training.

Very knowledgeable and we both learned a lot more than we thought we would have. Things that we didn't know were even a possibility. We learned how to connect in a completely different way, physically and spiritually. It was an awesome life changing experience! It will be a journey, for my husband and I, to get the best out of what she taught us and it will take a lot of practice but we for sure got more than we needed to succeed and achieve more than we can even imagine. We are so so grateful for her! She is currently located in Bellingham, WA but is looking to move to Seattle,WA, which is a lot closer to where we live. So we look forward in the possibility to attend any seminar or teachings she offer. Don't be afraid or too self conscious, just go for it. Devi is awesome!

The teachers are incredibly caring and truly invested in each child. Ms. Lily has built an amazing program with a great balance of learning, creativity, and fun. What really makes SLC special is how personal it feels. It's a close-knit group of teachers where you actually know everyone -- not a big, impersonal center. That warmth shows in everything they do. The activities are engaging and thoughtful, and even now our kids keep asking if they can go back and visit their teachers. We're very grateful for our time there and highly recommend it.

The teachers are incredibly loving, thoughtful, and communicative; you can feel how deeply they care about each child. The warmth in the classrooms is so genuine, and the community they've built is amazing. Families really know one another, and the sense of belonging is real. The little touches make it even sweeter -- from the homemade food to the way the teachers celebrate each child's personality. It's a place filled with joy, comfort, and so much heart. I would recommend SLC Montlake to anyone looking for a nurturing, connected, truly wonderful early learning community!

Seeing how well the other kids were obviously projecting the lessons of sharing & instruction that they'd learned was huge for me & I hadn't witnessed that at any of the previous schools.

Traditional school + tutoring was unable to teach him to read, especially because he was stubbornly against learning to read. Homeschooling with him was frankly a disaster. I'm very tenacious and resilient normally, but his stubbornness just kept defeating my efforts. Morningside is pricy, but in our extreme case we needed real help. My son is now reading and the relief is hard to convey. He's still behind his grade level, but showing truly amazing progress. Thank you Morningside!

The school listened and said they would take action. End of story. From reading the review, Nikki knows absolutely nothing about this wonderful school. My daughter came from a school that failed to teach her to read, and blamed the problem all on her. My daughter is thriving at Morningside, and is now a reader. No, the problem was not with her, it was with her old school. Morningside did what seemed impossible last year - they accepted a kid who was struggling to read in the sixth grade, and have turned her into a seventh grader reading above grade level and thriving in all her other subjects. Last year she felt like a failure, and that was backed up by the school she attended. This year, she is feeling like a success, and dreaming big of one day becoming a vet. I've heard story after story of success stories at Morningside. Before enrolling my daughter at Morningside, I knew of one boy that came out of her previous school reading at 3rd grade level in 6th grade, and is now in a Seattle Public high school with a B+ average. I also spoke with many extremely satisfied parents before enrolling my daughter. Morningside is dedicated to helping their students to reach their full potential, then sending them on their way when they are ready. The teachers are first rate, know their students inside and out, and the school supports the kids 100% academically and socially. One bad review from someone who knows nothing about the school should not dissuade prospective parents. I was in tears at our first Morningside parent/teacher conference when I heard my daughter was now reading above grade level. Not only that, she's met a great group of friends. That's just our family's story. There is hope and help out there for struggling kids, and Morningside is a superb choice.
