ToriParticipantHello West Seattle families,
I am very curious about the Europakids full day program. Can anybody tell me about their experience? I’ve heard their educational curriculum has an excellent reputation but can anyone speak to the nurturing aspect? Any feedback regardless would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!

daMemberHi – we have two kids in the Europakids program. The oldest attended full day program from age 3-5 and the youngest, 3, has been there since 3 months. Our experience is great. Besides the obvious advantage of dual language, they do a great job balancing structure/curriculum with play and hands on learning through experience, letting kids be kids. There is also a good balance of fine and large motor skill focus. It is very hands on, creative & active, which we like. They bring a lot of diversity into the program, highlighting different cultures in a way the kids can relate to.
I find it very nurturing, both in how the teachers interact with the kids, as well as how they teach the kids to interact with each other with respect and compassion.

andeParticipantOur daughter was in the full day program for 2.5 years, until she started kindergarten. We felt that Europa Kids prepared her well for kindergarten. The environment was very nurturing and we loved that she got a lot of outdoor time, rain or shine. The preschool curriculum was very strong and when my daughter went to kindergarten, Nicole was eager to look at her kindergarten readiness and take steps to make an already outstanding program even better. The teachers really care about the kids and I felt it was a very nurturing environment for her during the preschool years.
