Over 25 years ago, Amanda McKnight had a vision of creating a school that allowed children to thrive and grow at a very young age. As a mother of 4, she understands that finding a school that fits your families needs can be difficult. Amanda strives to create an environment that parents and children love to be a part of and as a result, Sundance has a strong sense of family and community.
Our south downtown Bellevue location opened in May of 2010 offering infant through kindergarten classes. We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of our new infant through early toddler program located adjacent to our north location! To hear what our parents have to say, see our testimonials. We pride ourselves in finding the best and brightest teachers to be part of our Sundance family.

At Sundance our philosophy is that all children, no matter what age, learn best through play and interaction. Our goal is to provide a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment that allows opportunities for discovery. Our role as teachers is to provide a variety of daily experiences and describe to the infants what they are experiencing and engage them in activities that will help them develop.

We had a great experience with the infant and waddler room. The teachers were so sweet and loving, my daughter was always happy to go. For some reason early toddlers did not go well for us. There was a problem with teacher tardiness, and diaper rash. My daughter always cried horribly when I dropped her off. I thought it was anxiety until I switched day cares and she did just fine. They returned my training potty covered in pee (even though they said my daughter would not use it), and no one said anything to us when we had to switch due to covid scheduling conflicts. I just felt like they never

I can't say enough good things about Sundance! My four month old started here in the Infant Room and we were in love with the teachers - Ms. Sam (who moved on and we miss her), Ms. Kris and Ms. Ghada. He transitioned into the Waddler Room with Ms. Mel and Ms. Vivian who were also wonderful. We were very sad to leave Sundance due to a move, but would highly recommend them to anyone searching for a great daycare!

Our daughter has been at Sundance for about 2 years and we've had a great experience. She started in the infant room and is now in Pre-2, in all it is her 3rd classroom so we've experienced several teachers/staffers along the way. All the teachers and staff members are kind, patient, and very sweet with the children. Our daughter often comes home with something new she learned at school, sometimes it's a new word, a new animal, a new song, improvement in her numbers and letters, etc... It may be too hard to name all the great teachers we've worked with, but I'll try here. We're currently in a classroom

My son has been attending Sundance since he was 3 months old and we couldn’t be happier with the school. The teachers are incredibly caring and kind. What drew our family to Sundance was the “small school family feel” combined to the curriculum. Sundance offers 2 or 3 day enrollment which was also a big plus.
Many special thanks to Ms Lace, Ms Mahabat, Ms Anna, Ms Joe, Ms Anja and Ms Viki

Sundance is the first preschool for my son. I have joined him at the age of 26 months.I thought it's gonna be difficult for him, but it turned out to be very friendly environment for my son. He got settled easily. My son loves to be with Miss Emily and Miss E.J. I’m very thankful to staff and the management.

Our older daughter has been at Sundance for two years now and now, we have our infant there, too! All the teachers and staff are amazing - you can tell that they sincerely care about the kiddos. Both my girls are always happy when I pick them up and it can take a while to get the older one out the door because she doesn't want to leave!

I've been really happy with Sundance in the almost three years we've been attending. The small class size is nice, so the teachers really get to know the kids and the parents. The teachers seem to really care for our kids and try to keep them engaged at the level they need. Thanks to Ms. Arzile, Ms. Lace, Ms. Mahabat, Mr. Izzy, and Ms. Emily!

My daughter started daycare for the first time at Sundance a couple months ago. She is in the early toddler room with Ms Viki and Ms Ajna and we love it! Her teachers are honest and let you know exactly what is going on. Our daughter had a hard adjustment period and they were so kind throughout. I really feel like my daughter is loved and cared for here. She has also learned a lot of new things since starting like sign language, words, and many behaviors that are very positive. They have been so helpful with tips and information on various things my daughter has been experiencing. Can’t recommend

All three of my kids have attended Sundance, ages 9, 6 and now almost 2. The teachers are wonderful and genuinely care about your children and their wellbeing. They have a great outdoor play area that the kids can enjoy year round. My kids have always seemed happy and well cared for when I pick them up. Would recommend.
