We love the school. The community, the teachers, the admin; all of it has been wonderful. Our daughter is developing in leaps and bounds.

I can't speak to the quality of the education at this school, but the school's administration leaves a lot to be desired. I paid a $100 waitlist application fee in June 2021 and never heard from the school again. I've emailed Bozena (the school administrator) a couple of times to inquire about our waitlist status, but she has never responded. These are fraudulent practices.

Some staff are great, but they have definitely lowered their standards. New teacher "Zia" does not seem well versed in childcare at the professional level. It felt like I was sending my child to the neighborhood babysitter rather than a school. I hoped to feel like my money was worth it, but no. I am looking for another place that has higher educational requirements and experience from all of their teachers. Perhaps they just showcase the more skilled teachers, but then send your child to a less qualified instructor? I don't know what is going on here, but that's what it felt like, and I believe there are better schools in Portland!
