3 Best Preschools in Seattle, WA

We love kiddie academy for so many reasons! They have a large playground where the kids can run around twice a day, rain or shine. The teachers are so thoughtful, making sure the kids wear raincoats and boots in wet weather, and apply sunscreen in the summer. There’s a live camera, so we can check in anytime and provide feedback to the teachers if needed. The staff is incredibly friendly, and holidays are kept to a minimum. Director Debbie manages everything so well, she’s responsible, organized, and communicates proactively. We are especially fond of our teacher, Hanan, who is caring and attentive. She has helped our child build confidence and express emotions through language. She even teaches STEM concepts with great patience. We couldn’t be happier with the care and education our child receives here! So grateful to be part of this amazing community.

Lucky enough to enroll my 7mo old infant in this program. I feel fortunate to have great care for my child, open communication and overall feel confident in where I’m leaving my child. Love the live cameras and daily reports with pictures! Don’t let Seattle waitlists scare you, take a tour and see if this program is a good fit for your family!.

The teachers are wonderful!! I moved here from California and was super impressed with Ms. Debbie’s ability to run the facility so well. My 2 year old has been enrolled since June and we couldn’t be happier. The education/curriculum is STEM based.

Our son attended preschool here for 7 months and it was an amazing experience with the staff and leadership. We moved out of state, but if not for that, we would have stayed with Seneca until kindergarten. Teacher Mesa ultimately became one of our son's favorite people, and other staff include assistant teachers, kindergarten prep teacher, art teacher, and leadership team, along with sub teachers, were all part of a team of people we came to trust with our son. They met him where he was at and built trust with him. They were kind and also taught him many skills. We felt safe knowing he was at Seneca. The communication with everyone was great and we felt very comfortable as a family. The staff helped him learn social skills and make his first friends. It was his first experience with daycare or school of any kind so we were very nervous. Ultimately it was absolutely worth it. I wish we could have taken them with us on the move. Highly recommend. The tuition is worth it, for sure. Thank you Seneca team.

Bright Horizons Seneca is amazing. The teachers are very caring, loving, and pro-active. We love the variety of games, toys, and immersions that the center provides every day. Jasmine and Yee are incredible teachers and care so deeply about their students. In just a few months, we've seen our 18-month old develop new language, use utensils like a champ, and so much more. He runs into their classroom and is full of smiles in the photos each day. The admin team Shar and Doreen are top-notch and ensure a wonderful experience for both parents and kiddos. Grateful for this school.

Our son has been at Bright Horizons since he was about 6 months old. The center is so welcoming! Every teacher or admin greets him by name and love that he is able to connect with him, regardless of if they are in his classroom every date. We love seeing what activities he does daily, and the curriculum helps him learn so many new skills. We just adore the car he gets here.
