About A Plus Learning Center &Child Care
Shoreline Montessori and Play-Based Center
A Plus Learning Center & Child Care offers a uniquely blended curriculum that integrates Montessori independence with Reggio Emilia's hands-on exploration and Waldorf's creativity. Serving children ages 12 months to 6 years, the program focuses on fostering intellectual, social-emotional, and physical growth through tailored, play-based learning activities. The facility is designed to exceed Washington State standards, providing a structured yet flexible environment where children are encouraged to explore at their own pace. The center is led by Director Ana Makyova, who brings a significant academic background in psychology to the program. This expertise informs a curriculum that emphasizes early mathematical concepts, language development, and self-control. The Shoreline facility features bright, airy indoor classrooms and a spacious outdoor playground equipped with slides and sensory areas.
What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
After moving from CA we found an in-home daycare for my daughter and while it was a nice enough place my daughter was not getting the early education we were used to with our previous provider. We began looking at new places and found APlus Learning. We are so happy we did!! The owner is amazing and has done her best to create an environment which fosters growth and development. The teachers are fully engaged with the students and consistently work with the kids on numbers, letters, sight words, emotions and play. The facility is bright and airy, full off toys, books and space to play, inside and outside. The facility is split into a preschool and daycare. The preschool is what brought us here and we are so grateful we found this amazing little gem of a learning place!! We know our daughter is going to be more than ready for Kinder and we have Anna and her team to thank!!!
My daughter loves this Daycare. She is not only loving it but getting ready for kindergarten. She has excelled daily and is always coming home with new things to talk about. I highly recommend. I was weary at first, being out 3rd daycare in 1 year. But have been absolutely amazed by the way the teachers work with the children and how far my daughter has come. Thank you ladies for loving my Ayvri and teaching her so much.
Amazing place and amazing staff! I am constantly in awe of how much information and manners my daughter has picked up in less than a year of going there! My daughter even calls it school, takes a backpack, and everything! Each day they do projects and learning activities for her to take home and put in her room! She loves going there so much she asks to go to “school” on the weekend! Very safe environment, plus pictures are sent in a app throughout the day so it helps me see what she’s up to.
This daycare is a fantastic place! We had been looking for a preschool for our niece for a long time. It is a Montessori center with a playground for only 25 children. We are already enrolled and looking forward to beginning next month!
We just moved to Shoreline and found this daycare. I like that it's an educational facility with a small student-teacher ratio and your child learning through sensory and play. The director is really educated Master's Science of Psychology and Ph.D. and exactly knows what children need. A fantastic, safe playground that is unique from those found at other preschools. Small center, organic food, and personal attention to every parent and child!Thank you, Ana!
