They always greet my child and he looks forward to going everyday. I love they daily logs, pictures, videos they provide of my child via their portal. In the 3 months my child has learned so much compared to his last daycare (military CDC). I always get positive feedback on my child's behavior. Our experience has been positive. Negatives - The price ($1250) compared to military ($625). The little ones need to be watched more closely when on the playground. Must pay extra for specialized programs.

Once the director in 2024 left everything was turned upside down. From the interim directors to the 14 different teachers that went through the infant room (new and existing employees) it was madness. It felt like they were trialing the new teachers in the infant room. Come to find out, a teacher walked out (from the infant room) and neglected all the babies until someone realized from hearing them crying (4-5 babies) and stepped in. If I had known how to report things like this to DCYF, I would have immediately. I even had a teacher (from a different age group who was actively caring for children when I arrived) follow me to the infant room and harass me about why I didn't respond to the photo they sent of an injury my child received under the direct care of that teacher. Not to mention for getting shamed by them for not wanting my kid to eat the trash food they provided. I know kitsap county has the WORST availability for daycare, please do not send your children here. I've also edited my review to add that there were many time where my child hadn't been fed or given a nap but they would complain that he was difficult those days because he was upset all day. I literally looked at them and said "I wonder why when he hasn't been fed on time or had any sleep". Once at pickup they even said "oh yea, hes hungry" because they noticed they missed his next bottle. I don't completelt blame the teachers because if their management had provided adequate support, this may not have happened. Check google reviews too!! Older children have escaped from an unlocked/broken fence gate and ended up in the street.

Naomi (the director) has been amazing about communication and keeping us as parents informed with any and every change as it comes. The teachers are patient and loving, you can tell they value how much of an impact they make on every child. I can't tell you enough how much effort is put in with activities and education. My son has brought home more art work than I have room for and I am always up to date through photos every week on what he's been up to. The menus are sent out the week before and its a well balanced diet that is easily mirrored/complimented at home. Again I cant say enough about this facility!

Super grateful for everything they have done and I can't imagine why they would ever get a bad review.

I worked here so my review is more based on the employment side. Not the childcare aspect of it…read more I absolutely adored this job. I worked at previous day cares in my hometown and this one has been my favorite so far. The director (Ms Anna) and program manager (Ms Cassy) are some really amazing, kind hearted people. They always have the best interest of the kids in mind, you can tell they are really in it for the best reasons! There were tons of areas for me to grow and learn as a worker there. I was able to work with almost every age group (which was THE BEST part). The community of workers here was also my favorite part. Everyone who worked here while I did was exactly what I would want in a childcare for my child. Loving, caring people with the ability to teach and adapt to different children's learning styles. Easily one of the best jobs I have ever had!!

The center is in the basement of a church so as you can imagine it's a bit drab, but it is always clean and they are really trying to keep the area nice and friendly. The teachers are wonderful and my son just adores Miss Crystal, so I say if my 3 year-old likes it then that's good enough for me! One thing that does bother me is that they don't have much of a web presence, so if you are looking for more information about them, here is what they have on their very hard to find website (http://chicocma.com/final1_013.htm) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chico Christian Childcare has been administering the Lord Jesus to children since 1974.

Everyone seemed very nice and although everyone was masked and provided appropriate safety measures on the tour, my child's teacher and at least two other individuals that work here do not believe in wearing a mask to protect the vulnerable children during this deadly pandemic. We had to un-enroll her after just two days here. To me, this demonstrated a poor lack of judgment among other things. Why wouldn't you want to protect the children you're teaching? I spoke with the director and she apologized and refunded all of our money. The issue with the staff not masking is complicated as they claimed a religious exemption to masking (which isn't a real thing)! We're two years into his pandemic. Wearing a mask isn't hard. I'm a nurse and wear one all day while caring for patients. It's not hard to protect yourself and others. It amazes me that I even have to write this right now but I want others to be aware before enrolling here in case keeping their children safe at preschool is a concern for them.

We've experienced nothing but positivity at the school. Our child's teachers and assistant teacher were caring, encouraging, and patient. The curriculum is fantastic, appropriate and engaging for the students, and always in tune with the seasons. Occasional staffing issues were handled quickly and seamlessly with no detriment to the children. I've witnessed children who were having a rough day taken aside and tenderly cared for until ready to rejoin the class. Another wonderful feature at the school is that pictures are taken of the children during the day at their tasks, visible only to the students' families. This gives a great glimpse into the child's day, and opens up conversation with the child at home. We're so very impressed by everything about the school, and our child is enthousiastic about going there each day. We heartily recommend Central Kitsap Montessori!

The kids are learning essential life skills in addition to the preschool curriculum. And the curriculum is impressive! They are learning science, geography, math, and language skills that feels beyond a preschool level, in my opinion, and my kids soaked up the information. My oldest is just starting public school in the Fall after two years at CK Montessori, and she is more than prepared to begin school. Staff are patient and loving guides for the kids. There aren't enough stars for this school's excellence!

He's learning so much, it's like night and day compared to the preschool he went to at the beginning of the year. The teachers are upbeat, but real, no phony pleasantries. They have fun with each other and the kids but also know how to lead and discipline. I hate to move away from this when we go out of state, but I'm glad my son experienced it. He went from being a black sheep in his first school experience (Montessori of all things) for his speech delay, to being an accepted and cared for student with this preschool. Rayna (hope I spelled that right), Stacy, Wumi, and any other teachers I may not have seen yet have welcomed my son warmly and given him plenty of daily challenges to recognize his abilities. He comes home charged and chatty with the days activities. I also enjoy his projects he brings home. He's coloring more precisely, writing letters and his name, singing songs, listening better, making construction projects that are really creative, learning more about days of the week, etc. Stuff you need to know for kindergarten. They definitely have a good student to teacher ratio so the kids get the attention they need. It's really just adorable to hear about the goings on in there and I can occasionally peak at the tail end of class when I come to pick him up which is always entertaining. We literally went from dreading his future based on his first teacher's opinion of him and his multitude of disabilities (according to her), to feeling filled with hope and gladness that there are people who see his abilities and the good in his personality and that he is a kid first and foremost.
