Bella’s Family Daycare

My oldest daughter who is 2.5 now has been going to Bella’s since she was 11 months and my 1 yr. old has been going since she was 5 months. As a mom, you do your research and find the best daycare for your kids putting safety and wellbeing as the first priority and then looking at cost and value as part of the decision process. Before even meeting with Bella, I did what any parent would do and parked outside the daycare at pick up time and just observed (not in a creepy way…) and what I saw were genuinely happy kids. They looked happy leaving at the end of the day and the parents looked equally happy scooping up their little ones! This made for a good initial impression.
When I met Bella, I could tell that she was a Mom and truly cared about the kids. They all flocked around her like little ducklings. I compare this to having caring family members watching over the kids. The whole family is involved from Grandpa who all the kids love and call Papou (Greek for Grandpa) to YaYa (Grandma) who visits for a few months out of the year from Greece. My oldest still asks for Bella, Papou, YaYa and Georgia (her friend) by Sunday night, that’s how much she loves being in the daycare and is ready to go back.
I have read a couple of bad reviews and honestly I’m not sure where it comes from and that it’s justified. Everyone has their own opinions but I have found no truth to it. When you put your kids in someone else’s care, it will never be «as good as your own» but I truly trust Bella and her staff and am confident I have made a great decision by having her care for my two daughters. My kids are caring, learning something new every day, respectful and becoming little independent human beings. Considering they spend around 50 hours a week there, Bella is definitely doing something right!
We are moving closer to Seattle and thus I will need to find another daycare but I strongly recommend Bella’s Daycare, Bella is an amazing woman and caretaker!

This has been a great daycare for my infant, Bella is very accommodating. She even allows my 4yr old to drop in if her school is closed for holiday. Bella is very nice and her family helps and the fees are very reasonable. Being new to seattle and checking out alot of daycares this is great clean opens at 6am and closes at 6pm

I am so happy with the service Bella provides! Being a new mom, I was so scared about leaving him in the hands of strangers while I go to work. However, Bella took the time to not only get to know me, but to be tentative to my son’s needs. My son gets excited to go to daycare, the opposite what I thought would happen! He always comes home with a smile. Bella is very good about staying in communication with me, about their activities, what he eats, his nap time is consistent, and he gets the attention he needs to feel loved and develop healthy in every way. One thing that really blows me away, is that Bella has put her best foot forward no matter what, her and the family’s work ethic is both admirable and commendable. I am so grateful to have them in mine and my son’s lives! The absolute BEST family daycare in town!

My daughter has been going to Bella’s for 4 plus years and my son for 2.5 years. When I had my daughter, I brought in friends to nanny her in our home for most of her 1^st yr because I was afraid to trust someone outside my immediate circle of friends/​family with my baby. So when she had to go into daycare, I asked around my work for recommendations. I was told about several that were close to work or cheap but I only got 1 recommendation that they were loving and that was Bella’s! I met with Bella and checked out the facility and I didn’t even interview anyone else. The kids were so obviously happy and comfortable there and her entire family has active rolls in daycare so they provide a very loving and supportive multigenerational experience. And my kids have learned a fair bit of the Greek language and Bella took it on herself to start teaching the older kids letters, numbers and arts. As soon as I had to go back to work after having my son, he went straight to Bella’s and I didn’t have that stress the 2^nd time around because I knew he was safe and loved! I really can’t say enough wonderful things about Bella and her family except that after a little over 4 yrs with them that I feel like a part of their family.
