Top 4 High School and Preschool in Mount Vernon, WA

Erin Yousling This year is my last kiddos turn at Bethany. All of my kids have attended the 4s preschool program here. They have LOVED the friends, experiences and amazing teachers who have poured so much love and time into their lives. I love how much Art and song is emphasized here, and the small class size really gives your kiddo the attention they need at this age, along with the freedom to ask questions and explore how to learn.

Jordin Guel Both of my boys attended the preschool and I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the teachers and program are. The activities, field trips and daily routine is a good preparation for kindergarten. The women are wonderful and communication is great for busy parents.

Lacey Summers I have had both of my kids at Bethany preschool and they have each loved it! The staff is so caring and I like the short days, it has been a great fit for our family. I also love that they have a covered playground, it make’s outdoor activities available year round! Bethany preschool is a wonderful place for children and families!

Caroline Boyce Skagit Art Preschool is an absolute gem of a learning environment! From the moment we walked in, we felt the warmth and kindness of the staff, who treat every child with such care, patience, and genuine affection. The level of attentiveness and thoughtfulness they bring to each interaction is truly special—it’s clear they see and nurture the unique potential in every child. What sets Skagit Art Preschool apart is their incredible ability to foster creativity while supporting essential social-emotional growth. The programming is both engaging and flexible, allowing kids to explore the arts in a way that feels natural and joyful. Whether it’s painting, music, storytelling, or imaginative play, the teachers skillfully weave in lessons about empathy, teamwork, and self-expression, helping the children build confidence in themselves and their abilities. Since starting at Skagit Art Preschool, my daughter has absolutely flourished. Her happiness, confidence, and love for learning have grown immensely, and I credit so much of that to the nurturing environment the school provides. Seeing her come home excited to share her art, stories, and new friendships fills my heart with gratitude. If you’re looking for a preschool that not only prioritizes education but also deeply values the emotional well-being of children, Skagit Art Preschool is the perfect place. We feel so lucky to be part of this wonderful community!

Caila Munoz My daughter is 2.5 and she loves going to her school. We also love the childcare app they use to update you on your childs day and we love seeing and hearing how much fun she is having. Its full of happy and well cared for kiddos by a lovely and very communicative staff. We are very happy with Skagit Art Preschool.

jacinda boyd My son loves Skagit Art Preschool. The teachers are patient and caring. He has been learning lots and is excited to go to school every day.

Isabel Tisnado It’s very hard to trust child care facilities especially with your own kids. Valley makes it so easy - from communication to teaching, & taking care of our kiddos. I love it!

jim oboyle These people were awful to us. They intentionally fluctuated prices which was against our contract with them, and would charge us for several additional days than they should have. They then tried to claim we were behind on payment, and they shared with me their billing system screen. They definitely regretted it because Im aware of how these systems work and I had to educate them on how to correctly interpret the system. Not only did I show that we were not behind on payment, but they had overcharged us by hundreds of dollars over the year. The owner, Sylvia, admitted to being incorrect and said we would go to a fixed payment (which is what our contract stated). However, they retaliated for us standing up to their predatory billing scam. Our daughter that attended was one of the only kids that stayed after 4PM because of our work schedule. Literally 20 minutes after leaving the meeting where I called out their inability to interpret their own billing system, the owner called me and told me they were suddenly going to be closing at 4, pushing us out. then, a few months later at their other location, SVELC, our younger child was pushed out in a very similar manner. They arbitrarily changed their "policy" in such a way that my younger child was now "too old to be allowed in the youngest class", but also they knew we were still potty training her (only 2 years old) and they said she couldnt go to the older class unless she was potty trained within a few weeks. We put in our notice of unenrollment at that point. A few days later, I went to pick my child up, they were outside in 80 degree weather, and my child was immediately begging for water. The teacher said "oh, we forgot your water bottle inside, sorry". I am certain my child had asked them for water previously, and feel that they were neglecting my child as retaliation. I called them out on this and they lied, stating I "went in and spoke to the manager who told me xyz", which was completely false, I did not go into the facility. The predatory billing "mistakes" and retaliation were so toxic, please do not bring your children here.
