Arrowhead Inglemoor Preschool

Both kids went here and we loved every aspect of their experience. Teachers are warm and loving, and my kids looked forward to playing in each of the unique rooms-art room, play room, story room. There was always lots of imaginary play, sensory play, and fun time outside. Their favorite memories were the playground, and the carnival at the end of the year. As a parent, I felt confident my kids were loved and learning from the best. They were very prepared academically and more importantly social and emotionally ready for Kindergarten. The drive through drop off and pick up was icing on the cake! This gem has been around Kenmore forever and I hope to see my Grandkids heading here one day.

All four of my children have attended Arrowhead Inglemoor Preschool and we love it! The teachers make sure every child feels special and loved. Prior to AIP I had my children in a co-op, but with more kids it was challenging to work in the classroom. My first draw to AIP with 3 kids, 3 and under, was that they have DRIVE-THRU drop-off and pick-up, so I didn't need to get my other two kids out of the car. Now that my older 3 children are in elementary I don't need this as much, but it still can be a great option (especially if I'm running 5-10 minutes late!) They have a lot of great enrichments across the year (these vary depending on what class you're in) field trips: pumpkin farm, farm, Kirkland Storybook Theater, Children's Museum, fire station, pond, as well as lots of incursions: bunnies, reptile man or lady, police officer, fire fighters, dentist and then of course mommy and muffins, daddy and donuts, Valentine, Easter, and harvest parties as well as an end-of year carnival in 4s and 5s classes. They also have a Christmas and end of year program. Note, this program only runs through May, this surprised me the first couple years, but they have offered a 2-3 week "summer camp" extension into June for those who want a longer year. My two oldest boys and my youngest will attend the 5s class which is a great option for children that need an extra year before kindergarten or are on the older end. They have a great balance of educational curriculum which addresses kindergarten readiness through zoophonics, writing their name, numbers and colors (again, based on age), daily art and lots of play (rotation of toys and sensory activities). They will meet with you in January to let you know how your student is doing, but they are very responsive if you have a concern or want to know more sooner. The students either go outside or the teachers set up an indoor movement play activity. This isn't an outdoor preschool so if it's a rainy day they won't necessarily go outside. They regularly post photos to their private Facebook group so you can see what's going on inside of the classroom. We love Arrowhead Inglemoor Preschool! It is has been a great fit for our family! Note: This is a preschool that runs out of Epiphany Lutheran Church and they will sing Christmas songs, and go to chapel once a month and learn a Bible story. If that isn't something you are interested in, this probably isn't the right preschool for you!

I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful preschool. With my first child, it was quite a transition for me to put her in preschool as she had never been in daycare but the teachers are so positive and kind that my daughter adapted quickly and loved going there. The teachers are very experienced and have been there a long time, so when I enrolled my younger son in the preschool I already knew everyone. The staff always asked how my daughter was doing in elementary school and loved seeing her when she visited. It feels like an extension of your family is caring for your children. They are also given an excellent early childhood education. From the art projects, music, reading skills, writing, and so many lovely holiday programs, they have exposed my children to so much knowledge and cultivated a love of learning with them. I also like the Christian-based approach they use. This is my son's last year and it will be hard to say goodbye to everyone, I am so grateful for the memories we'll take with us.

Both my children have attended Arrowhead-Inglemoor pre-school and have loved it.  My older son attended another preschool when he was 3 & 4 and then moved to Arrowhead-Inglemoor for their 5's program.  I wish we had started here in the first place because it is such a fantastic program!  My younger son just finished up the 5's program this year and is headed to kindergarten.  We are definitely going to miss being here.  The teachers are wonderful, loving people who truly care about each child.  They have several events during the year (holiday parties, field trips, etc) where parents can volunteer if they would like to, so you get to see the kids "in action" with their friends and in the preschool environment if you choose to do so, which I always found very fun.  I especially love their 5's program which is geared toward kids with summer or September birthdays that aren't quite ready for kindergarten yet, but have already done a year or two of preschool.  Both my boys have summer birthdays and were not ready for kindergarten when they had just turned five for a variety of reasons.  The 5's program at Arrowhead-Inglemoor was perfect for them!  While still play based they focus a bit more on kindergarten skills such as letter sounds, writing and numbers.  They are in a separate classroom so they are able to have more small motor skill toys that may not be appropriate for a classroom shared with a 3's class (small legos, playmobil, etc).  It was a small class of only 12 kids, with 2-3 teachers in the room depending on the day/time.  I watched both my boys go from being a bit shy and nervous about kindergarten to ready, willing and excited for it to start after attending the 5's class here.  I would definitely recommend Arrowhead-Inglemoor to anyone looking for preschool in the Kenmore-Bothell area.

It's been 2 years since we relocated to WA and AIP is one of the schools we visited to enroll my daughter in. It by far was the best decision ever!  I can't speak enough on how wonderful this school is. The teachers are simply amazing, they genially love the children there and look out for their best interest. My daughter did the 3s program in 2015, and because of a late bday we put her in the 5s classroom this past year in which she just graduated from in May 2017.  I am so happy with their program! She has learned so much there. If this school went through grade school, we would pay to let her stay there, even though we live in a great school district because that's just how amazing they are.  My youngest child will start their 4's program this fall, and I'm not nervous at all to let go because I know he is in great hands. If you are currently searching for a good school for your kiddo, I suggest you move forward with AIP. I'm so thankful for the experience we have received from them and feel blessed to have been granted the opportunity.
