PARENT TESTIMONIALS
“We love Little Miracles School. This is our daughter’s 2nd year and she loves her friends, the curriculum and her teachers. I like the intimacy of the school, and I can drop her off and know she's in good hands.”

“The care and education my children have had at LMS cannot be beat anywhere. The teachers took time each year to find out my children's areas of interest and what area they needed to be challenged in. I believe that LMS will be responsible for both of them excelling in grade school and beyond because the teachers were so dedicated to their education at a young age. I can honestly say that if my youngest son had not attended LMS through kindergarten, we would have had to have him repeat a year in public school.
I want you to know that what you do at LMS really does count and is making a difference in the future of our children's lives!”

“Little Miracles School has been wonderful for our daughter! This year was her first year in a school setting – in Teacher Katie’s Yellow Bumblebees class. She has absolutely LOVED it and LOVES Teacher Katie! The teachers did a great job transitioning her into the classroom and making her feel welcome and comfortable at the beginning of the year and that feeling has carried over for the entire year. Our daughter is always excited when it is a school day and is always very excited to see her teachers and to give Teacher Katie a BIG hug!!
I have been impressed with the curriculum at the school and have loved seeing all the neat art projects that they have done throughout the year. The teachers have put together some great lesson plans and projects for the kids. It has also been a joy seeing how well all the kids in class interact and how many friends our daughter has made during the year.
The teachers and staff have truly made the school into a very loving, nurturing, and encouraging place for the children to learn. Even with all the activity and excitement of kids coming and going before and after class there is always a peaceful feeling at the school and in the classroom. Teacher Katie and Teacher Gillian have done a great job at making the Yellow Bumblebees class a happy, fun, positive place for all the children to learn and feel loved and accepted. What a great way for our daughter to be introduced to a school setting! Little Miracles School has truly been a blessing to our whole family!”

“It is with great pleasure I write of my experience with Little Miracles School. Not unlike most parents, I experienced some anxiety and a little sadness on my children's first day of school. It was with open and loving arms the teachers welcomed my children and it was with open and loving arms the compassionate staff continued to invite them in as the year progressed. My children have absolutely blossomed under the nurturing and devoted faculty. With a move in the middle of our tenure at Little Miracle's, I discovered the sincerity experienced here unique. It was a joy to return and be connected with Little Miracles - one that will be greatly missed as my children grow and move on.”

"In April 2007 we moved to Issaquah from Fairfield, Connecticut. The change was enormous for us in every way; physically, emotionally and practically. My first concern was for our children, but our three older children were in elementary school so they quickly became part of the fabric of their new environment. That left my four-year-old, what to do with him? I knew from the experience with my other children that preschool registration usually takes place in early winter for the next school year, so it being April I was concerned about where he would go to school in September. In between unpacking, meeting neighbors, finding Costco and Target and keeping some semblance of normalcy, I researched preschools and my son and I would go visiting them. Meanwhile, every day I drove past Little Miracles School and every day I thought, “Well that would just be too easy…”
Finally, after failing to find a school that spoke to me I called Little Miracles. “Yes, they had openings for next year and they would love to meet us”. I really enjoyed our visit. The school was bright, welcoming and buzzed, but it was also clean, organized and under control. I knew before the tour was over we had found our home for the next year and even better, I was thrilled to learn Little Miracles had an opening for my son immediately. Starting school helped him transition seamlessly which in turn let me focus on my own transition. The school year finished in a blur, but all the kids were happy so I could be happy too.
This year I have been able to absorb and appreciate the Little Miracles environment. My initial instinct was correct, the year has been amazing. I have been able to volunteer in the classroom, my son has participated in after-school Enrichment classes like Cooking, Music and Art, he has stayed for lunch bunch and he’s represented “R” in the Christmas pageant (“R is the Reason we celebrate today”). Sure he’s learning his letters and creating projects and hearing stories and songs…but most important to us, he’s happy, active and making friends.
I have now put four children through preschool. During the passage of time from my oldest daughter starting preschool that first weepy day, until sometime this June on my son’s last weepy day…I have mellowed, my priorities have shifted and I have gained perspective. Even so, the standards I have set for myself and my kids have never faltered and Little Miracles has most certainly met those standards. We are blessed to have been a part of the Little Miracles community."
