Unlike the previous reviewer, my kids DO attend this school and I believe it to be the best school ever. We have a very bright child who was bored at the local catholic school and a child with significant learning delays. Both children are THRIVING. The education is exceptionally child-centered--math, english, and science learnings have been remarkable. We have found this school to be nothing less than flexible, loving and supportive. Can't recommend highly enough!

My youngest son went here when I was a student at the UW in 2003-2004. It is right across the street from the campus and the Burke Museum, so I got my coffee there every morning on the way to class. I got free parking in their lot. They take the UW Childcare subsidy, which was wonderful. Their fees are pretty low, and you can't beat the convenience. They had a GREAT staff of teachers and care providers, truly beautiful souls who loved being around kids. I felt like I hit the lottery here.
I also liked their drop-in daycare downstairs, the Trettin drop in preschool. When I needed to take my little ones up there for only a few hours after I graduated (and they weren't enrolled in the daycare anymore), this was a handy option for us. $6.50 per hour for drop in care, discounts for siblings. My kids still talk about how fun it was here.

Linda Stacey, owner of Careworks, does a great job matching people with childcare providers. There is a fee, but it seemed very reasonable in light of the amount of work she puts into it. I couldn't imagine doing the background checks, sorting through candidates, assessing termperament and skills, researching the proper and legal ways to compensate people, etc., that Careworks did for us. They made the process of getting a nanny much easier. I felt confident in our choice because of all of the work that Careworks did to help.

I was apprehensive to send my child to a preshool that resides inside a church (it is located within the Seventh Day Adventist Church), HOWEVER this place is awsome. Very clean, excellent teachers/assistants, and there is no religion pushing whatsoever.
Our daughter went here for more than a year and we were all sad we moved and had to find a replacement as this place was SO great!
The biggest perk are those daily walks to where else but Greenlake!

I have a four and a half year old son, and he loves Trettin preschool. There are always new and exciting activities and projects going on for him to do, and he comes home with adorable projects that go along with the current curriculim of the week. They have a daily schedule that includes morning and afternoon story and show and tells, which he loves. Make sure your child gets to check out O-Hall, it's an indoor playground with bikes and climbers. Just wonderful.
I was welcome to come in and help him get comfortable with his new surroundings as long as I needed too, and his teachers were very helpful. I would highly recommend the preschool to anyone. It is a drop in preschool so you can use it just how you need it, on occasion or regularly, and you don't need to be on any kind of waiting list either!

I've had my son at NCDC since he was four months old (he is now 3) and have been very happy with my experience there. In the infant room, they have two teachers plus additional staff who will do nothing but hold the babies if that is what they need. I worked nearby and they were fine with me coming into the room whenever I needed or wanted to feed him (I usually came to see him at lunch) and it was reassuring to see how attentive they were to all of the babies. They also maintain a very low turnover, so all of the staff at the school knows my son (some very well) so it almost feels like a second family to him. I'm sad to be leaving for preschool!

Located in the heart of downtown Seattle, Green Tree provides first-class childcare for working parents. I chose to put my son here because the school provides so many learning experiences for them: field trips to a variety of places in the downtown area, music classes at Soundbridge, and art classes. Their menu is totally vegetarian and the teachers are fabulous. While Green Tree is a bit on the expensive side, it is totally worth it!

More
Kids Time is a before and after school care just to the west of Wedgwood Elementary during the school year, and over towards the View Point fields during the summer. It is run by the Ravenna Eckstein Advisory Council, so rates are set by the city and are reasonable. With our youngest daughter attending for the last 5 years, we can confidently express our satisfaction with the program. The staff are always what make or break such a program and we've always been pleased with these staff member, despite the inevitable turnover (less than in similar places elsewhere).
