My son is 2.5 and absolutely loves this school! I can see him participating in variety of activities, including weekly soccer and music class. The place is huge in comparison to what other schools offer. Class sizes are small, so teachers can put a lot of time and attention on the kids. I believe the student to teacher ratio is smaller as well. The staff truly care about the kids. I truly appreciate everything they have done!

Wonderful educational program for preschool aged children. The director & teachers truly love children & are committed to seeing them succeed. My 14-year-old son still talks about the Ark and all the good memories he made here. My youngest 3-year-old daughter is also enjoying the education she is receiving here. Lots of activities for the children including soccer, library reading time & music. Older children have field trips. This is a FULL time daycare (7am to 6 pm) and very reasonable priced for Bellevue. Highly recommend!!

My son has been with The Ark since he was 6 months old. It has been a wonderful experience for us! The staff are loving. And the playground is huge in comparison to the other daycares we’ve seen. When the weather is good, the kids could take a walk in their garden. When it rains, they can play in the dining hall. I also notice that my son is so much better at cleaning up and picking up his toys. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Wonderful school! The staff is the absolute best and they truly care for the children. My son learned so much and made life long friends! He loved his teachers and friends! I highly recommend this school!

Professionally managed by a group of people who really love their children. Longer-term employees than many other daycares. Smaller than state-mandated ratios in many classes, where possible.
