My son attended IMA for two years. We loved the school (as did our son)! Amazingly dedicated teachers who were super caring. He learned a lot of Chinese and life skills while there. He also made many great friends and learned to socialize. The Montessori education was also great and the teachers really knew how to teach with the materials. The classroom is very clean and extremely COVID safe. We only left because we moved out of the area and we realized how lucky we were finding IMA. Yimin (the owner) is very responsive and runs a great organization.

My sons experience has been great!!! He is loving his new school, teachers, peers. He has been learning so much. Even the Chinese language. he has been able to repeat many words to us at home and even recognises it from cartoons. It has been a great experience. Small school. fewer kids, really friendly atmosphere and loving reception. He has really been excited to go there and with everything that has been happening.

I started to look for preschool for my younger child since October last year. Almost all the schools in our neighborhood put us on their waitlists, which was not surprising. The ones who had spots were not even close to what we were looking for. When I found out about International Montessori Academy was going to open another campus in Capital Hill, I was so relieved. Finally, Remi was able to attend a Montessori school with bilingual program without much waiting. He turned 3 in May this year and went to the school at the beginning of September.The owner has 2 other schools in Bellevue and we toured the campus near Clyde Hill before this campus was open. They are experienced educators and know what they are doing. At first, because of the delayed inspection, the school was not ready for kids for about 3 weeks. However, the owner arranged a childcare at Playdate SEA from 8am-5pm free of charge everyday with designated teachers. Remi knew his teachers, Ms. Shawna and Ms. Jing, from day one. They are wonderful teachers and very experienced. They both are very caring and accommodating, so I found the other review is hard to believe. Because its a new campus, they have renovated the entire place. The interior is very modern and spacious. There is even a secured and covered outdoor play area for kids, which is super nice for the coming rainy season. It has been a wonderful experience for us and we hope to share our story with other parents who are looking for great schools for their children.

We register IMA Capital Hill prime program, and its delay twice, and finally the provide program started Step 4th at a rental area (playDate at Seattle Downtown), the class room they provided is dirty and mass, they put kids sleep on the the concrete floor directly!!, and more, at the first day, there only 6-7 kids, 3 teachers, the rate is greater, however, we found those teachers are rude, without any sense of professional tanning, my wife enter the room, without any welcome they just standalone and keep chatting between themselves, and ignore us, after we put everything down and I told them that the name of my boy, they just pretend to realize that we are here for daycare!!! image that that classroom is rent for daycare, we entered with all the belongs, and there was no welcome, you have to tell them who you are, and then they just pretend like a actor to say they just realize you are here for childcare...and before teachers are chatting and laugh by themselves.And then, they take over my son, and put my son to the table and push him seat by the table, my boy start cry... of cause, he will cry for first day at preschool. however, the teacher is very rude and no any emotionally pacification, and just put him harder to the seat, and my boy start cry harder and struggling, and fall to ground. and they just rude put my son back to seat again.the owner Yimin Chen was there, and my wife told her that she has some concern about his preschool, and this layday seems replay with contempt attitude, I could never image any person working on education field could treat parent this way.and at the end of the day, i pick up my son, i could never forget the Wronged face of my son, and so as the other kids.And the first day we decide to withdrow from this daycare/preschool, however they took days to return our tuition fee. and they keep 800 register fee.My english is not good enough to express my angry, However if any parent really care about their kids, please do not sent them to this fake school.and the own and teathers is rude and not rained well, they only thing they care is about money.I also encourage any parent who have sent their kids to this fake school to share their feelings....
