What Parents Say

We are extremely happy with Tottini. We stayed there from 2018 to 2019 summer. The staff members and teachers are always warm and welcoming. I similar how they give toddlers different sensory and fine art activities, outdoor fourth dimension, and teach them disciplines in using examples and positive feedbacks. I attended several of the director's parent-educating sessions. The more I go to know about this facility'south didactics philosophy, the more I am ensured about my choice. I matter I do notice is that this is a play-centered childcare facility. If you are expecting a lot of classroom hours or direct education from the teachers, you are very likely to exist unhappy with them. However, if you believe in the power of play, give it a try.

Some other thing I demand to mention is they care about the wellness of the kids. They Always provide a variety of fresh, healthy nutrient and snacks. This is non something I see at many of the daycares I toured, including expensive ones like BH or Bellevue Montessori. I deeply appreciate Tottini's efforts on work.

I waited a while to write this review because I was observing the sustainability and continuity of their quality. They managed to go on it, so here nosotros get :

- Pretty interactive Teacher -Parent environment. We got all the answers to our questions on timely manner with the correct context.
- School management communicates the changes/information on timely mode and if you raise a trouble/event they really try to fix information technology and help y'all instead of just pushing back.
- Food is organic and well served.
- Our daughter likes the environment and teachers as well. You can feel the positive energy of both Ms Taran and Ms Ja'Nhae for the toddler class. Kids dear them and on can hands observe that they are caring and love the kids.
- Class Dojo , this is a brilliant application and I appreciate that Tottini is using it.
- Facilities are well designed and there is plenty space for all the kids.
-School and classes are very clean
- They intendance most the development of the children

We observed some very positive behavioral changes in our daughter similar taking her plates to the kitchen later she finishes the repast. She just passed 2 years and she was throwing her food effectually the tabular array about of the time and we were shocked when the start time we saw her doing this, she is more than expressive and more social.

I strongly recommend Tottini to whatever parent.

UPDATE : We terminated our daughter's attendance to the program. Commute between school and home became crazy and we were not able to proceed to it anymore. School direction was very helpful and transparent during this transition and nosotros did not have any bad experience even in the termination process. All according to the book. Thank you for the great 14 months :)

He has all kinds of activities throughout the twenty-four hour period, and he is always happy and contented when we pick him upwardly at the finish of the mean solar day.

Pre site visit: Nosotros had fantabulous communication when we contacted the school.  The staff gave us all data and promptly invited us to view the school.

Site visit: We were warmly greeted by both the owner and director who were both then passionate about the school and the kids.  They were quick to point out they were a new schoolhouse and nevertheless building out their curriculum.

School:  We have ii kids in Tottini and they both dear it! They have made really good friends with similar minded kids and they teachers balance their days with a variety of listen developing activities and costless play. They are taught independence and to work equally a team. The centre is relatively new so the program is nevertheless being adult but they are very open to suggestions.  My kids come dwelling house and talk virtually all the things they learnt and ask actually dandy questions and tin't wait to get back to school. The teachers are astonishing and caring and they keep the venue and my kids clean!  My kids have inappreciably gotten ill since being at that place which is unusual for nursery!

Monitoring: They use an online app to which the teachers mail photos and you tin can communicate.  I would prefer live video feeds but hopefully they will upgrade shortly.  Just that'due south mainly so I can watch them accept fun!

Going forward: I can honestly say I only see this identify getting better!

The rest of the reviews have said it all already, but I have nil merely groovy things to say about Tottini.  I needed childcare for my girl due to my other daughter's very full therapy schedule on tiptop of school.  I'm with my kids full fourth dimension so I didn't need "total time" care for her but I did need flexibility with drib off/option up hours.  But most of all, I needed a supportive school where I knew my daughter would thrive (and have fun of grade!) that would also support and sympathise our family and our needs.  Tottini welcomes and supports all kiddos including those who need a fiddling actress help, and it shows with how loving and qualified the staff is.
I could go on and on but as others have stated: they provide all the nutrient for the kids, provide sensory projects and activities, exterior time whenever possible, and the use of ClassDojo is pretty awesome.  It'due south always a nice feeling seeing a motion picture of my daughter with a huge grin on her confront at school.  We live in Kirkland and could notice a closer school to dwelling house merely this place is well worth the bulldoze.

Thanks Ashleigh, Jen and all the teachers and staff for making this school an astonishing identify.

Our daughter (17 months) has been going to Tottini Discovery for about 2.5 months and information technology has been keen and so far.  Information technology didn't take her long to adjust and nosotros love the small community feel Tottini has. Yous can walk into daycare and inquire well-nigh any teacher about your kid and they will know your child past proper noun.

Meals:
Tottini serves every meal - Breakfast, Luncheon, and two snacks. As a working mom, this is a lifesaver. I can't imagine having to fix meals for her to take to school everyday.They serve good for you organic food and my daughter scarfs up every meal!

Naptime:
I didn't think my girl would nap in that location merely she does! And they provide all the sheets and launder them so yous practice non have to worry about that.

Teachers:
The teachers at Tottini are great. They really beloved the kids and requite me a detailed update on the mean solar day when I pick her upwards. They make the kids feel super comfortable and really cater to each kids needs.

Facility:
The facility is really beautiful and clean. I like how the kids are not in one room the whole day. They accept their principal classroom (by age) and they as well have a studio room where they do a couple activities a day. They also take the kids outside once a day.

Overall, it has been an easy and smoothen transition for my daughter and we couldn't exist happier.

It was and then incredibly difficult to make the decision to place our daughter into childcare, but afterwards two months at Tottini Discovery, we couldn't be any happier with our decision. After touring a number of different places, and actually existence enrolled and ready to get at another place, we went with our gut feel and enrolled her at Tottini Discovery. Our experience so far has been amazing! The staff and teachers are definitely the acme of the line; they genuinely treat our kids and get out of their way to make certain everything is taken care of. We dear that they have a studio for the kids to explore, whether information technology be dance, basketball, or yoga, studio time is always the highlight of my daughter's 24-hour interval! She'due south excited to go to school everyday, which makes it so much easier on us parents. I highly recommend Tottini for anyone looking for childcare.

It is never easy to exist apart from your children, but nifty places like Tottini Discovery arrive so much easier!! My 2.v year former has been here for a trivial over a month and his transition has been seamless due to the wonderful, caring teachers and staff here. They really put your mind at ease by giving daily reports, picture show updates and communicating via Form Dojo.

I highly recommend this place to any parents looking for peachy childcare and an crawly program for little ones!!

My son and I dear this daycare! I would like to recommend this heart for several reasons. First, this eye is quite new, so everything is clean and new. Second, teachers are so caring and kind. I could see that they Practise care of kids with love and attention. I could feel that they try hard to make a real zipper with kids. Tertiary, they accept good curriculum. My two-year-old son sings, draws, runs, does yoga, and dances at the centre. Concluding, y'all can run across how your kids are doing at the centre through an app (ClassDojo) that provides daily pictures and reports. Oh! And their healthy and organic meals are amazing. Highly recommended!
