Dizzy’s Tumblebus & Bus Stop

My daughter has been attending Dizzy’s for 2 years. Last year, we transitioned from the Kindering SN preschool program mid-​year, and the 2 – 3 yo class was full, so my daughter attended the Blue 2 – 5 yo program upstairs. I loved the flexibility for me with relaxed times (up to 4 hrs), the wonderful teachers, the warm interactions with Gigi and the office staff, and the well-​designed and well-​utilized play area.
This year we enrolled the Yellow class, 3 – 4 yos. My daughter needs constant physical activity to keep her muscles strong, and Dizzy’s is perfect for her. Not only is she growing «academically» with interesting art projects involving letters, numbers, basic science concepts, and special books, she is also a little ball of muscle due to daily Tumblebus, tumble room or outside playground action. Her teachers, Miss Alyssa and Miss Julie, are patient, enthusiastic, and kind. Of course, they are also well-​trained and professional, with quiet control over the classroom. The students mostly treat each other with kindness. There tend to be more boys than girls, maybe due to the physical activity. Parents know their kids will be well-​exercised at Dizzy’s. Remember parents, girls need exercise, too!
At first I found the downstairs area to be full of small rooms and crowded. But after a half year of school, I realize the space is maybe small, but it’s also just what is needed. I love the bright colors (but not garish) and lovely paintings. And of course all the kid art.
We are so happy with Dizzy’s. We’re very lucky a friend told us about this great school — both her girls went here. It would have been easy to overlook a great school because of the odd location.

I found myself needing a new location for my son’s 3^rd birthday party, with only two weeks notice. I found Dizzy’s in an online search. They had an opening and I booked it.
Gigi has great communication and follow up, and the three employees we met (on tour and the actual party,) were all great! My son really warmed up and enjoyed them.
Party went off without a hitch just as promised. My son, and a lot of his friends, all have not stopped talking about how much fun they had!
If you’re looking for a super fun party, with little work for the parents, this is the place!

Dizzy’s is a very special place and our family feels very blessed to be able to send our 2 ½ year old daughter to Preschool there 5 days a week and for 2 ½ hours every afternoon. Sofie has many adult friends she can trust at Dizzy’s and that is of utmost importance to us. Miss Crystal and Miss Louise are her teachers and they are so wonderful, nurturing and incredibly patient:-) I love hearing my little one describe her day from the color of the month (right now it is orange) to their favorite circle time song. She is now starting to recognize letters, can count to 20, is also displaying progress interacting socially with peers (sharing, communicating, etc). Equally important, she has physically become stronger, better balanced and able to jump, swing and climb. This physical growth is just as important to the development of a child as the mental and emotional and Dizzy’s tumblebus, tumbleroom and other play areas has introduced a plethora of activities that Sofie hasn’t experienced anywhere else.
Thank you Dizzy and Staff, for welcoming Sofie and our family into your family!

Dizzy’s is AWESOME! James and Sophia totally rocked my 7 year old daughter’s Birthday party. They were engaging, kept all the kids involved and mostly made sure that everyone had a great time!
Even the parents had a great time… how awesome is it to shuffle your kids out the door for an hour while they are entertained by professionals, allowing the parents to chill out and relax for a minute in between all the mayhem!
I highly recommend this company! Keep up the great work, we will be hiring you again for sure!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. My girls have literally grown up at Dizzy’s Tumblebus. The staff is outgoing, friendly, caring and helpful. They not only engage your child in play, but they can tailor the play to help your child grow and learn in a safe environment. As far as I am concerned, the fact that they are not in a brand new building has nothing to do with how you care for my child. This is the best preschool I have ever seen. It is thoughtful, challenging and fun. If you are looking for a place where your child will thrive and feel special, Dizzy’s Tumblebus is it.

I have never written a review on Unilocal,but after reading a rather harsh review of Dizzy’s Tumble Bus and Bus Stop I felt compelled to write one. I am shocked by the comments that were made by the nanny from Sammamish and I understand we all have opinions, but I couldn’t disagree more with her. I have been a nanny AND more importantly I have 3 children of my own. My youngest is in his 3^rd and last year at Dizzy’s, we have attended many birthday parties, enrichment classes, Drop and Go Play times and I have never had one negative experience there. The teachers and staff are the most loving and competent people I have experienced. They have a wonderful comraderie with the parents and each other as well. My 2 older children went to 5 different preschools between them because I am very selective about their atmosphere and learning as most parents are, but my 5 year old has remained at Dizzy’s Bus Stop because it is by far the best preschool experience we have had.
Dizzy’s Bus Stop is not filthy. It is colorful, well-​organized, fun, cozy and clean. I hope others will go to this establishment and see for themselves what a wonderful place it is to take your children, but if you are offended by colorful Ikea furniture and kids wearing shoes… you may want to find a local day spa?

As a mother of three boys I can say I had my share preschool experiences between three different states that we lived in. Dizzy’s is by far the best preschool hands down!!! From the moment I met her and the staff, they were welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is fun and educational which is what I was looking for in a preschool. The preschool program is wonderful as well as the enrichment classes they offer. My son was comfortable right from the start and always looked forward to being there. They are very accommodating when I’m running late for pick up and I know he is safe and well taken care of. I cannot stress how wonderful the staff is, they truly give the children their undivided attention and are very caring. I see it when I come to pick him up. I always hear the funny things he did that day or had said. My child comes home and tells me all about it everyday! Love hearing his stories!
I absolutely recommend this preschool for anyone who is looking for a fun, family oriented and safe environment for their children. My little man has grown so much since he started here. He LOVES it here! Not only has his handwriting improved (thanks to Ms. Diane) he has a good attitude about school! This will be easy for him to transition to kindergarten in the fall!
Highly recommended! Go see for yourself! :)

Had my son’s 1^st birthday party here yesterday and it was fantastic! Every single employee I came in contact with was unbelievably helpful and pleasant. I had asked for a little bit of a special set up because most of the kids coming to his party were young toddlers and with it being November, I asked to have a couple pieces of tumbling equipment inside the bus stop so that the kids didn’t have to go out to the bus if it was too cold. They were so nice about everything and extremely helpful with set up on the day of. All the kids that came had a blast. They were all ages ranging from 3 months old to 10 yrs old. They also provided paper plates and plasticware, which is convenient. I do however wish I wouldn’t have skimped on this portion of the party, because the quality of their paper plates was very poor and it would not have been an expensive addition to throw in. The only other thing I didn’t like was the location, my first impression when I went to see it the first time was that it looks a little sketch from the outside, but the inside totally makes up for it. It really is a perfect place for kids to run around and get their energy out.

Our son William is three and never attended a preschool so we were not sure how well he would do and we were very pleasantly surprised. He absolutely LOVES going to dizzy’s bus. We love the staff and the environment is exactly what we needed to make sure our little guy is having fun while getting used to being part of a class. Highly recommend!

I brought two four year olds and a five year old to free play today. It was AWESOME! It doesn’t look like it would be as fun as it is — all three kids had a ball. The people working were very friendly, even when the kids went where they weren’t supposed to go. :-) The kids ran around on the equipment inside and bounced forever on the big trampoline. They got to play with a collection of dollhouses and some crazy play dough type foam. They went out in the bus and did the zipline for as long as I could stand to watch them in the cold. I literally had to drag them out — we will be back! What a great activity for a rainy day. There was the drop-​off program going on, but my kids just enjoyed playing with the other kds. For a small space, it sure is set up nicely. Great place!!!
Update– I have been bringing my kids, age 6.5 and 5 to Dizzy’s day camp during school breaks and summer. They both LOVE it. I keep asking my son if he feels like he is too old, but he says no and always has a great time. The staff is super nice about squeezing kids in, and they are so sweet to the children. Highly recommend the camps!

Amazing staff who truly cares about the kids. We have been going for over a year for both drop and go and preschool and love it.

We love Dizzy’s. I’ve taken my twin boys there for open play (where parent stays) several times, and last week I just left them for their first drop-​and-​go time. The fantastic thing about Dizzy’s is that you can leave 2-​year-​olds for Drop-​and-​Go. Everywhere else I’ve seen the kids have to be potty-​trained to leave them. Not Dizzy’s! They don’t mind the diaper change part of it and it gave me two lovely hours to run errands sans kids.
My boys love to be at Dizzy’s and everyone there is so friendly and so good with the kids. We will be back many more times!

We LOVE Dizzy’s.
We went for the first time for ‘open play’ which is when a parent stays to supervise. We were welcomed, given a tour, it was explained how everything worked (my son could join in with the preschool kids or play on his own) and so on. The lovely teachers introduced my son and I to preschool kids and parents on their way in and out — it was very welcoming. The teachers were very hands on, had wonderful control over all of the kids (including handling a drop off meltdown with tons of sensitivity) and managed that challenging balance of sweet and friendly with firm. The kids just seemed to adore all of the teachers that I saw.
My son now goes there for preschool and adores it. Tons of crafts, endless fun… he never wants to leave, much to the entertainment of everyone else!
We’ve also done day camp (with both my 3 year old son and 6 year old daughter) and both loved that, too.
In addition to those options, they offer drop off care anytime and Kid’s Night Out every few weeks (which is a super fun night out for kid’s instead of getting a babysitter — just be sure to leave them long enough to stay for the Talent Show or they’ll never forgive you)! :)
No, the location isn’t super easy to find (which they stress on their website, along with detailed directions with which we actually had no trouble) but the trade off is that there is absolutely no through traffic. The outdoor play areas are great — kids don’t care if they’re awesome play area (all gated) is on the edge of a parking lot — as long as it has tons of fun toys and and they do. The main door is fenced off and gated, as well. Once inside, there is yet another gate between the front door and the play spaces. So, very nice and safe! Additionally, these people have a crazy good memory for names and faces, so they know everyone who comes in after their first visit which just adds to that safe feeling.
We’re so thrilled to have found Dizzy’s — it’s scary leaving your child somewhere and so rare to find somewhere you feel so confident in so quickly.

We attended a birthday party on the Dizzy Tumble Bus and it was interesting to say the least. Not at all like the photos on this site. Only the mats, Jerry –rigged monkey bars and the little trampoline. The two guys running the party were pretty immature and you could tell did not had a solid plan. I was on and off the bus watching. At one point they stopped all the kids and were threatening time out if they didn’t listen. I almost laughed out loud. They basically just had music playing and a whole group of energetic kids and with no routine, thus no control.
This experience was a complete contrast to Coach Tom’s Tumble bus. The kids did have fun, coaches were a bit disappointing.

The staff here is very nice and responsive. The selection of toys is great, too. Our 3 kids ages 5, 2 ½ and 20 months enjoyed themselves. My only hesitation is that it is not conveniently located; if you aren’t familiar with that specific area, it seems out of the way.
My 5 year-​old wanted to jump on the bus but it was very hot inside and didn’t smell very good so she chose not to. The outdoor area was tiny it seemed and not overly inviting as it’s located in the parking lot. BUT it is safe and the kids liked being outside so perhaps I’m overly critical as a grown-​up.
A friend gave me a coupon to visit here through living social. I’d like to try it again but only if I happen to be near Belleve College!

Wasn’t overly impressed. .We did parent supervised play. There were classes going on as well, and it was difficult to figure out where and when my child could participate. When he saw activities that the class was doing, he wanted to join in. Things that should be placed in a cabinet further out of reach & sight were too visible and another point of frustration. Perhaps we would have enjoyed it more if there wasn’t so much crammed into this small space. Great concept, staff seems friendly and likeable. I would not leave my child here, seemed like kids were all over the place mixed in with drop-​ins and there is no child proof lock on the door that I found. Also, no latched gate that goes from outdoor play area to parking lot. Saw adults (presumably parents without kids) wonder in and out several times.

Our family is new in this area, I glad to found out this place for our two yrs old girl. We have been there 4^th time including Kid’s night out. I really like a lot so far, caring staff, fun activity. I think it a back up service for mom’s who need a break.

I love this place. Great staff!!! Caring, supportive, and honest. I began bringing my son in order for him to learn, socialize, and have fun. My son gave me a hard time accepting the fact that he was going somewhere without me (2 yr old). HOWEVER, he grew attach to the staff there.
Perfect stars!

Another fan of Dizzy’s! We are semi-​regulars with a 2 ½ and 6 yr old going there (1 — 2 times/​mo) and this is the only place the kids have been disappointed to leave! There are daily drop-​off hours as well as a monthly «Kids Night Out» and summer and holiday Camps for the kids. The staff is friendly and gets to know the kids quickly. They also don’t mind at all if you want to come and play/​stay with your kids there during the drop-​off times. I did that the first time or two so I could get to know everyone and see how things run and it was very reassuring.
Although the facility is not huge (it’s large, but not huge), I really like how they use all the different areas and they also let the kids go out on the bus to play. There are often interesting options for the kids too — for example during the holidays there were times that you could stop by with the kids to decorate different items (popcorn bowl, etc.) to give as holiday gifts. The prices were reasonable and I appreciated the option!
Overall, nice facility, great staff and my kids like it so we are happy!

The staff here is FANTASTIC!
We went to a birthday party last summer and got on their mailing list– when the invite came for a «Winter Celebration» day camp for my 3.5 yo daughter over a 10 day break, we said ‘Heck Yes!“
We arrived, signed in and she was off playing with only a bit of hesitation and I felt totally safe leaving my daughter with the friendly staff.
We picked her up and she said she had ‘the best time ever’ and wanted to go back again every day.
We’ll be back!
Update: 3÷20÷2010
We had my daughter’s birthday party here– 12 preschoolers and as many parents joined us for an hour and a half for their ‘Yellow Light’ party package and it was FANTASTIC. The staff were so competent that I didn’t have to lift a finger, we arrived 15 min before the party as requested and in just 10 minutes, they wisked the table full of the goodies, had the piñata hung up, the cake displayed and the whole place was perfect. The kids wandered in and each of them were greeted warmly and everyone was able to join the fun in progress. The staff were super with each and every kid, and based on the smiles and giggles, this was the best party ever. The staff had structured activities interlaced with free play and an easy transition to cake time, piñata and then goodbye.
Before I could blink, they were loading my car with the cake and gifts and we were on our way home. Best party experience I can even imagine. SO EASY!
