Top Rated 15 Schools in Marysville, WA - A Guide for Parents and Students

Nathalia Oi The best place I’ve ever had membership at. Nice and clean environment. Awesome helpful staff. I can workout for 2h and leave my kids at kid zone for free and don’t have to worry about them. Because they have very careful staff and they will warn me about anything. My kids love there. They have so many family and kids sports and I love the classes that they have everyday. The best family place in Marysville in my opinion.

Rokar World YMCA Marysville is hands down the best Y in Snohomish County! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, creating a positive and inclusive atmosphere. My kids absolutely love the Kids Zone and look forward to going every day, which makes my experience even better. I also appreciate the fantastic member benefits, especially the discounts on youth sports and other programs—it truly adds so much value for families. This YMCA exceeds expectations!

Curtis Holtz Great ymca best thing about this Y is the staff...a little on the smaller side but still a great facility considering they dont have the backing of major donors like the Y in Everett or Stanwood. I wish I was well off and could donate to this facility...Also their low income program is the best and makes it possible for me to go exercise in the pool. Im a disabled veteran whose knees are shot and without this place I would have a much lower quality of life!

kayla ahlberg I have had both on my kids attend this daycare and currently one is still attending. I can honestly say we have only had good experiences, and any issues or concerns have been immediately addressed and handled. This daycare is the only one in Marysville that I feel comfortable sending my kids too.

M S We had a great experience at Kids N Us. Lisa at the front desk was always so welcoming and kind to us, and she always remembered all the kids names. Our teachers Krista and Lydia were amazing, our daughter loved going to school everyday. We will always have positive memories of our time at Kids N Us!

Tarayn Johnson My kids have been attending the Kids N Us for about 9 months and we are very happy with our experience there. The facility is clean, and so adorable inside where the classrooms are. The staff are all so friendly and really attentive to the needs of each kiddo. I have three little monkeys, 2, 4 and 6, and they are all very different, with different needs, and they’ve worked with us along side the individual teachers to make sure everyone has as many good days as are possible with kids that age. There is plenty of structure in their day to day but also plenty of time to play. My oldest even gets bussed to and from school from there so pick up and drop off for all of them in the same. We get daily updates, pictures, and have access to classroom cameras so we can check in during the day if we want. This place checks all the boxes for us; we’re very happy we found them.

Anastasia Reed We love MCP! The 2s class has been great and we’re excited to join the 3s next year. I love the parent involvement and being in class once a week has allowed me to get to know all the kids and parents. We’ve formed a great little community throughout the year.

Ashley Pullar We joined the 2s class at Marysville Co-op preschool in October. We have gotten to see our son absolutely thrive in the play-based learning environment and getting to watch him form friendships and develop his communication has been amazing. Being a member of this school allows us to be more involved with our sons early eduction. We have enrolled to be in the 3s class next year and we are looking forward to our son learning and growing even more.

Jonathan Saucedo Enrolling our daughter into a new beginning at the age of 3 with MCP 3’s made me a little nervous, but with the great care of the staff and parent cooperation she has made great strides, Teacher Raine and all the parents support is very professional and productive, the kids love their time in class. Our daughter often wants to go to school more, there is no pressure on the kids, situations are handled with care by teacher Raine or supportive colleagues and parents, everyday I take our daughter to school I feel like we made the best and right choice. I recommend this school to everyone I can.

Ruth Cielo We will be entering our 3rd year this coming Fall at Sunshine Preschool, my 5 y/o went for almost 2 years and my 3 y/o will be starting this Fall and will go for 2 years. This school is a treasure. The care, love, organization and dedication that Teacher Mum and Anderson put in to this school shows in every way. From how happy and proud my child is when he brings home a project to the excitement of something fun he did at school. These teachers take the time to really focus on the needs of each child, its incredible! We love Sunshine Preschool SO much, I love talking about our experience here and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a school that will 100% prepare them for Kindergarten.

Jesca Warner If you are an anxious mama bear and are looking for a loving environment where your child can thrive, this is the preschool for you. We sent our son here and have nothing but good things to report. Kim and Tracy are SO attentive to each child and truly do have the best interest. Their curriculum is up to date and just beautiful. They are so kind and patient and I always felt right at home in their environment. My son FLOURISHED here and we cannot wait to send our daughter!

jake moore Fantastic teachers and a safe learning environment! Our daughter loves it and our next will as well!

Rosa Perez My daughter attended Little Explorers for 2 years. She had an amazing experience and learned so much. She went from being shy and not outgoing, to being super talkative and very open to making new friends. The structure of this learning center is impressive and very professional. Sandra is very communicative and supports all the children in their growth. I would definitely recommended Sandra and her early learning center to anyone. We can’t thank Sandra enough for the positive impact she made in our daughter’s learning.

Joyce anne tiglao Little Explorers Learning Center is the perfect place to nurture your child. They have fun and educational activities everyday including creative crafts, music and outdoor play. Teachers are so kind, loving, sweet and caring. You have peace of mind when you leave your child with them. They also provide healthy nutritious foods and always make sure of the safety, health and cleanliness of every child. Highly recommended!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Abby Millican My son has been attending this daycare for 3 years now, going onto his 4th year! Started here at 1 years old. This place is nothing short of amazing! Sandra is great with children, I love how structured this daycare is, they do educational curriculum and have a very structured schedule! My son comes home with fun projects and worksheets that hes done during the day. The communication is also very good. Im notified of anything that happens, and she has a nice schedule laid out for the year. This is a wonderful daycare, I highly recommend for preschool kids getting ready for kindergarten!

Darren Wichers The teachers and staff care deeply about our kids.

Marc Barringer If I could give 0 stars, I would. Ive only had 1 interaction with this place, and it went horrible. I called to discuss the way my daughter had been treated by one of their employees. She was trying to pick up a pre ordered to go meal from 5 guys, and the parking lot was full. Not knowing the spot she chose to park in was reserved, she parked there. I was on the phone with her at the time and heard someone yelling, and then my daughter said she "had to go, someone was yelling at [her]." She called me back in 15-20 seconds in complete hysterics over how she was treated and what was said to her. I couldnt even understand her she was crying so hard. I cant think of a single reason a conversation should go that off in that short of time Now, lets start off by admitting my daughter parked in the wrong spot. I get that, and I understand employees informing people of the mistake. What i dont get and dont understand is the level of disrespect by starting the conversation in a way that puts anyone in tears, much less forcing them to cry so hard they can not be understood. There is no excuse for that. I tried to call and speak to the director to ask that they should understand if they are going to ask to be alone with our children, they should understaff respect and common decency. All the employee has to do was politely inform her that she couldnt park where she parked. My daughter would have moved and found some place else to park. The assistant director talked to me and got immediately defensive, escalating the conversation, causing me to get upset as well at her. The conversation didnt go well at all after that, and the assistant directors immediate rude and condescending tone and attitude pushed the conversation in a direction it never needed to or should have gone. She immediately started defensively asking what the teacher looked like-only seconds after I said I heard the interaction on the phone. She constantly cut me off and interrupted. She was never interested in hearing anything I wanted to tell her, especially and somewhat understandably after the call got heated. She never had any intention of trying to understand or deescalate. My only intent for the call was a polite reminder that you can ask people to move without upsetting them to the point of hysterical tears. I only say this so that people who are thinking of trusting this place with their children understand that there are employees in positions of authority who dont care about respect, understanding, and concern or addressing a concern. Yes, I got upset on the call after the condescending and clear lack of concern. I admit that, but its very concerning to me that this type of person is running a daycare. She demonstrated none of the qualities someone in that line of work needs to have-willingness to listen, willingness to understand concerns, and ability to even attempt to deescalate-to name a few. Its no wonder the teachers would treat people they way they do with someone like this over them. With so many options available to us in child care, it is highly recommended to look elsewhere.

Ashley Strasburg All the teachers are amazing and so responsive to the kids’ individual needs. They make sure everyone feels supported and they love the kiddos as if they’re family.

Leah Cummings My son is having a wonderful time and the teacher is just so good to him! Love this place!

Danielle Cummings I had one son attend ELC for two years. I am pleased with how improved he was once he left. The care and dedication his teachers poured into him shows. I now have another son attending for his 2nd year and the care and dedication they have poured into him is no different. They have made a difference in both my kids. Thankful for the staff, they really care and are ALWAYS smiling.

Rani Appiah I’ve known Sharmila Desikacharry for over a decade, and her calm, kind nature makes her a perfect fit for Montessori education. With more than five years of experience as a lead teacher, she brings patience, warmth, and deep knowledge to the classroom. Her school, Serene Montessori, truly lives up to its name—it’s a peaceful, nurturing space where children are encouraged to grow at their own pace. Sharmila tailors lessons to each child’s needs and creates an environment where learning feels joyful and natural. Highly recommend!

Jayme Stahl Sharmila is a skilled, dedicated, and compassionate teacher. During her time working for me she demonstrated a true understanding of the Montessori philosophy and respect for her students. I have no doubt that her school will be a peaceful, joyful, enriching environment for young learners.
