Kiddie Academy of Kirkland

We are so grateful to have had Ms. Shantha as our child’s pre-K teacher. She is caring, thoughtful, and truly passionate about teaching. We especially appreciated her creative approach to learning, encouraging curiosity, reasoning, and real-world connections in a fun and meaningful way. She communicated wonderfully with our family and created a warm, consistent classroom environment where our child felt supported and excited to learn. We could see so much growth in confidence, curiosity, and independence throughout the year. We feel very lucky to have had her as a teacher and highly recommend her!

Our child was at Kiddie for a year for Pre-k. While there was high turnover initially, our experience drastically improved once Ms. Shantha became our child's teacher . Ms.Shantha made learning fun and engaging while ensuring every child feels included and encouraged. She used music and out of box ideas to keep the children engaged and interested. Her consistent support has made a meaningful impact on our child's curiosity, enthusiasm, and overall engagement in class.We truly appreciate the care and effort she puts into making her classroom such a positive place to learn.

We've loved having our toddler at Kiddie Academy of Kirkland. The teachers are very loving, kind and caring. The director Ms. Melissa is very thoughtful and is open to suggestions and feedback. One of the things I personally loved was the new addition of the little free library outside the Academy. Ms. Melissa also takes special care to stock the library with themed books during Mother's day/ Father's day etc which makes it very special.

My older child, who began his journey at two, has just graduated this year! My younger one also spent about two years starting in the infant classes. Looking back, we’re so grateful for the wonderful teachers we’ve had across all grades. Ms. Sejal, Ms. Bobbi, Ms. Ping, Ms. Saeideh, and so many others have shown the children such love and care. In the older classrooms, I want to thank Ms. Soma, Ms. Shantha, Ms. Dallas, and Ms. Lily (who has since moved on). Their positive impact on my son has been truly amazing. They’ve taught him what’s right and wrong and helped him believe in himself. Both my children have had a fantastic time at the school for the past four years.

The Pre-K teacher, Ms. Shantha, is a gift for each child. She pours herself into every activity she creates to set up her students for success for their next steps and beyond. Her methods and creativity engages each child at their own independent levels and truly makes them flourish. It is incredible that the genuine belief she has in each student motivates them to take on new challenges and conquer any obstacle. Ms. Shantha sees them, listens to them, making them feel their worth. She transcends the definition of a teacher as she creates incredible little humans and empowers the next generation.

We sent our daughter here since she was 4 months old and she is now almost three and half. Love the live camera in the classroom and the playground. They open for long hours all year around (except for holidays) which is very friendly for working parents. Love the open communication with their director, which is super helpful for me to learn what happened at school and how to help my kid grow. Their meals are freshly made in house and they offer organic milk. The teachers are nice and friendly, and they have great curriculums to help kids learn through play.

Love the work they're doing here. Believe strongly that both my kids benefitted from the school's approach. Big-time impact. Would highly recommend.

My son’s time at kiddie Academy Kirkland has been filled with excitement, growth, and an abundance of love and care from his teachers and friends. When he first joined, he was just 1.5 years old — now, he’s grown into a vibrant and curious almost 5 year-old boy. We are so grateful for the nurturing environment; strongly recommend!
