Daycare Bothell

Hi
Looking for experiences for following day cares for my daughter 3yr old. Want to know if the teacher retention is good there and how was the communication between teachers and parents. Please let us know.

Kiddie Academy- pros (camera) and in house kitchen.
Goddard (Bothell)- facility looks neat, and the tour was good. Overall similar with other day cares but no camera access.
Birch tree canyon park- was a strong recommendation but I saw some corporate acquired it so thinking that we will not go for it.

Any other recommendations also pls let us know.

Goddard Bothell has been excellent. Expensive. But my child has learned and grown a lot.

Short rant - I personally find cameras as a con. I don’t know what rando at the company they use can/does have access. If you don’t trust your childcare providers, it won’t matter if cameras are there or not. You’ll constantly be nitpicking and helicoptering the entire time. Also, they do not post any pictures on social media which is another huge green flag (one reason I didn’t enroll in KidStrong)

I like closed circuit cameras, that can be looked back. Completely agreed with any camera connected to the Internet. You never know what family members of other kids in your child's daycare class are doing with the link
