Academy Parents are a great asset to our school. We encourage parent participation in various activities, such as homework assignments, classroom functions, school activities and field trips. We make it a point to communicate regularly with our parents to ensure each child has a successful learning experience.

Parent Testimonials:

1. As Kai’s parents, we can’t say enough about Mukilteo Academy! He is in kindergarten this year and has attended Mukilteo Academy already for two years. We particularly like the fact that they assess and address Kai’s individual needs.
   
   We are amazed at the progress of Kai’s work from the beginning of the school year to the end. The teachers are caring, energetic and enthusiastic about teaching our children and they consistently keep the pace each day instilling a sense of self confidence along with academics.
   
   Best of all, he loves Mukilteo Academy and can't wait to go to school every day. We know the importance of this as it sets the tone for many school years to come----a parent’s dream!

2. I am a “research gal”. I began looking into preschools for our daughter shortly after she was born…I believe in thorough investigation and preparation. Mukilteo Academy was an easy choice for us - the most difficult part was waiting for Madelynne to be old enough to start!
   
   Maddie began Mukilteo Academy in preschool with Ms. Sue. She was a clingy mama’s girl, and we were worried she wouldn’t like being away from mommy all day – or at all! She immediately LOVED school and thoroughly blossomed from a child who wouldn’t leave mommy’s side to attend dance class, to a child who practically jumped out of the van to get into the school building. She enjoyed her teacher, her friends, her class, and had lots of fun learning her colors and how to write her name.
   
   In Pre-K with Ms. Vic, she expanded her knowledge and her ability to navigate her way through the typical childhood disagreements in a positive way. She began to learn to read and she also learned how to spell and write her last name. She again loved going to school and would always ask before bed: “is there school tomorrow?”…being totally disappointed if the answer was “no”.
   
   She is continuing her Mukilteo Academy journey this year in Mrs. D’s Kindergarten class. Despite the fact that she no longer has time for a nap, she is thoroughly enjoying school! She has already learned to spell/sign (as in sign language) some colors – and I am told that by the end of the year, she will have at least a basic grasp on math and reading! Our biggest concern at this point is that she will be too well prepared for 1st grade (wherever that may be!) and will be bored next year at her new school.
   
   The teachers and staff do a wonderful job of preparing the children for future life and learning experiences by not only educating, but providing important skills like communication, cooperation and organization. We have no doubt that they have instilled a life-long love of learning and have given Madelynne the tools she needs to cooperate and negotiate through any future classroom difficulties! There is absolutely no doubt that her younger brother will be attending Mukilteo Academy when the time comes for him to start preschool.

3. We can’t say enough about the teachers and staff at Mukilteo Academy. Not only did they create a great environment where our children could learn and thrive but they also kept it fun and exciting. We are confident that our children now have a solid foundation for their future. We’ve had an amazing three years and we can only hope that our children will have such professional, engaged, wonderful and loving teachers and role models as they did at Mukilteo Academy. We miss them all dearly.

4. Safe, nurturing, loving, communicative, great start to school, confidence.
   Mukilteo Academy has given our boys so much!
   First and foremost, they LOVE school-our ultimate goal for their preschool experience.  MA’s nurturing teachers and staff create a safe and positive learning environment where our children feel valued and confident.  We truly appreciate the parent/teacher partnership MA establishes with frequent communication and feedback on our children’s social and academic growth.  Mukilteo Academy’s strong emphasis on art and music allow our children to be creative and imaginative while building a strong academic foundation.  We know we have made the right decision for our children every morning when we hear our preschooler ask, “Can I go to school today?”

5. We are so very pleased with our decision to send our daughter to Mukilteo Academy for preschool and now Pre-Kindergarten. Because it is such a small school, this gives the students the opportunity to interact with not only their classmates, but with the children and teachers from the other classes as well. The quality of the teachers is top-notch. They teach, they nurture, they inspire imagination and creativity. We have been so blessed to have Miss Sue and now Ms. Kristi serve as role models for our daughter. Even though we live in Everett and it’s a long commute to MA, I tell anyone who will listen what a wonderful school this is and how our daughter is just thriving in this environment. It is my wish that she always loves school as much as she loves it here at MA.
