  Our daughter has been going here two years now and loves the place. The teachers are amazing and make genuine relationships with the children. We get monthly updates on the lesson plans and every day videos/photos are posted to the KinderCare app that is used for the parents, and it is great to see. We will be sending our son to this place very soon.

  We are fortunate enough to have two children attending, one in preschool and the other in the infant classroom. Our preschooler just turned three and counts past 20, recognizes all his letters, and can name all of his shapes. Multiple times per week my son is asking to go back before we have even gotten home. He talks about all of his friends constantly and he has kids who all yell hi to him when he walks in each morning. He has some support needs and the school has been so accommodating- taking feedback from therapists, being flexible with him, etc. As a mom, it has been amazing to feel like I don't have to worry about him during the day. Our baby has attended for almost five months. They have been a great resource when I have questions, they have followed my lead with when to start table food, we get excellent communication from them. Center wide I appreciate the app where we get updates on their day in real time including photos and videos. We are so grateful for Woodinville KinderCare!

  It's been impossible to get all the details, but our son was frightened by another child at this pre-K to the point that he had night terrors and would start shaking and crying at the thought of going back. The staff tried to stonewall us when we asked questions. That's the gist of it. More detail: The staff downplayed the incident, at first saying nothing happened, then on persistent questioning that another boy yelled, then that a developmentally delayed child started screaming, then that the child stopped what he was doing to come across the room specifically to scream at our son. We don't know how long it took staff to respond or what their initial response was. But we know our son cried hard for a long time and asked for his mom. They did contact us but, to reiterate, they told us they weren't sure what was wrong and wanted to to try to calm him down. They did, and we later found out it was by having one teacher stay with him the rest of the day. My wife called to ask how he was doing and was treated dismissively, saying that she should have accepted no news as good news. That's wrong. They should have called with an update. But now I wouldn't trust what they say anyway. That night he had night terrors 3 times, for the first time in nearly 3 years. The next two mornings he was genuinely frightened by the thought of going back and we kept him home. Then we pulled him out. How they handle this, including refunding our money, remains to be seen. We moved our son here after a year and a half at another pre-school where the worst experience he had was first-day jitters. It sounds like they have special needs kids mixed in with rest, and that they really aren't prepared to manage that. And making matters worse they are dishonest and condescending.
