They have been so accommodating to my schedule and the kids absolutely love their days at this school. If I could give a 6 star rating I would. There are some days that I pick them up and they are bummed to leave. The learning curriculum is top-notch as well. I trust every teacher there and I know they want the best for my kiddos. My son will be finishing up pre-k at the end of this year and this was the best launching pad to give him a head start in kindergarten. Thank you to learning years and all that you do!

The staff were kind, dedicated, and many of them had been there for years. Now, more than a decade later, my grandchildren are attending the same school, and it's amazing to see so much has stayed the same in the best possible way. The same owners and director are still there, and I still see many familiar faces when I pick up my grandchildren from time to time. That kind of consistency speaks volumes. Learning Years is truly a special place. The care they show for the children and families is genuine, and it's clear that their top priority is always the well-being of the kids. I can't recommend them enough! Anthony Herring

Our son stopped going to Goddard in February, and I gave myself a few months to calm down before…read morewriting this review to ensure I was thinking with a level head. This facility put us through 6 months of absolute Hell. When I tell people the Tale of Goddard , I am met with reactions of absolute horror. "You must contact the Better Business Bureau", they tell me. Well, this Yelp review is our first step. Hopefully it detours people from wasting their hard-earned money on the owners' multiple Mercedes in the parking lot. When we first enrolled our 4 year old, we were Goddard a safe and understanding environment. One of the owner's, Stephanie said, "If my son didn't go here, he'd burn the place down". That gave us hope that our son, who is a willful little boy with tons of energy, had finally landed at a place that understands that children are not obedient little robots. Within the first 2 months, we realized we made a huge mistake, and at month 4, I wrote a formal withdrawal letter. In it, I cited the lack of communication between the teachers and owners, the absolute incompetence of the owners, and the lack of care and safety of the children. They agreed with all of the points and begged us to stay. They agreed to my terms of things they must work on for us to continue enrollment. Three weeks later, they terminated him. They gave no notice. They told the Director to call us (on a Thursday evening at 6:30) and tell us that our son was no longer welcomed at the facility. Here's the best part, the Director had no idea why or what happened that day. She was very embarrassed and said that she was mortified at how our family had been treated over the months. I called the owner, Paul, FIVE TIMES, and to this day, I still don't know what happened, except that there was some kind of squabble over a toy. I left messages, spoke to his wife ("Oh, he was just here. I promise that he will call you back this evening"), and talked to the Director several more times. I have never been so disrespected in all my life. The worst part? Our son was heart-broken at the sudden departure. We had to tell him he graduated because he couldn't understand why he suddenly couldn't see his teacher or friends any longer. Aside from the horrific ending, here are some additional examples of what we experienced: 1. One evening, we were told by his teacher that "The owners have all met, and they have decided that your son is on his last leg. One more wrong move, and he will be terminated". We left absolutely shocked. We had received ZERO warnings and couldn't believe what was happening. That next morning, I had a very tearful conversation with Stephanie, wondering why the owners had met, and why he was on the chopping block. She acted very confused and said that no such meeting had taken place, and that she was very sorry about the miscommunication. She said in no way were they giving up on our son. This demonstrated an absolute lack of communication between the teachers and the owners...a pretty important aspect of a successful business. 2. On 3 occasions, we were met in the evening with videos that the teachers had taken of our son doing "naughty" things. One video lasted 4 minutes, and it showed he and 2 other 3/4 year olds tearing apart the room...for 4 minutes, they said NOTHING to the children or stepped in. It was unbelievable. When I addressed these videos to the Director, she was mortified and said that she would put a stop to that immediately. They didn't stop. 3. His teacher told us that she thought she had Strep Throat, but her boss wouldn't let her go to the doctor. She had been teaching 3-5 year olds for DAYS, thinking she had this highly contagious illness. 4. We would get frequent calls that we needed to come pick him up because he was "running the hallways". We'd ask, "WHY is he allowed to run the hallways? They never had an answer. Instead, one of us would have to leave work early to come pick him up. On one of these occasions, Stephanie's son, who is several years older, coaxed our son out of the room and they hid. When my husband showed, up nobody knew where my son was. After they found the two boys hiding under a desk, we got reprimanded, and no responsibility was taken by them. 5. Nearly every morning, we'd arrive and that "secure" door would be propped wide open. Unacceptable. Listen, you have so many places to choose from when it comes to the care of your child. Do not be fooled by the smoke and mirrors of this fancy place. Our son is still experiencing long-term issues from the time at this facility and how abruptly it ended. There were also several terrible behaviors he developed while at Primrose, and we've had to put in considerable effort to break him of those. If you need any more proof, just look at the generic response that Paul copies and pastes after each 1 star review (I'm sure you'll see it pop up after mine as well). You will be just a number, and not an individual.

This review is for the toddler room, but I imagine that many of the issues that bugged me are also…read morepresent in the other classes. I had two kids in their toddler room for 6 months, and then I pulled them out after being fed up. Now, after putting my kids in a different daycare I can see clearly how bad it was at Kindercare, I am still dealing with guilt that I didn't I pull them out sooner. Here is the good and the bad I experienced at this center. Good: - The outdoor space is big and beautiful with tons of toys to play with. - Teachers were really good at changing diapers quickly and my kids never got diaper rashes while there. - The front desk was always welcoming and greeted us with a smile. - There was always someone picking up the phone and they were always open to go check on your kid right away if you asked them. - They are not cheap but they have a good discount for intel or ohsu employees and they offer sibling discounts too. - They use a pretty nice app that informs you of the diaper changes, food consumption and photos shared. You can also message teachers and director via this app. - They have excellent hours that secure care for your little one even when you have a long day at work. Bad: - Generally the teachers were not engaging or showing much interest or affection to the kids. They were mostly standing around passively and often talking amongst themselves instead of the children. Sometimes kids would be wailing in the corner and no one would pay any attention to them. I witnessed this regardless of the time that I stopped by to pick up kids, or drop off anything for them. - The toddler classrooms are tiny! They have sectioned a big room into 3 little rooms that probably barely meet the min square footage per child. The rooms are always crowded and in a disarray with toys laying everywhere. They don't teach the kids to clean up and there were always (dirty) toys spread around on the floor that you would step on as you dropped off and picked up your kids. - the food is DISGUSTING. Don't be fooled by the menus they may show you. It may look good on paper, but first of all, the food served almost never matches what is printed on the menu for that day. "Fresh fruit" comes out of a can! Cheese and meat is processed. Bread is stale and white. Nothing is truly cooked there. It's all just thawed and/or warmed. I wouldn't eat any of that myself. - The kids were taken to play outdoors twice a day during summer, but even though we had a very mild fall and winter, but they did not take the kids out a single day from Oct to Feb. And after parents called to complain they took them out only occasionally when the weather was very nice. Their excuse was that some kids do not have warm clothes?! They kept the kids in the tiny tiny classrooms crawling around all day, and my boys would get horribly sick every other week. - They constantly move the kids around among toddler classes. We would always drop off our kids around the same time, within the allowed drop off time and around breakfast time and in their designated classrooms, but they would already be at capacity in that room and have to move some of the kids out to accommodate our kids. Sometimes they would take kids that were in the middle of eating their breakfast and have them walk to another room. It was always chaos and a lot of teacher/student switching once we arrived. - I had a kid that drooled a lot and I would give them extra bibs so they could change them out during the day, but despite asking a couple of times and sometimes even messaging about it they would forget and on his drooly days my kid would often go home in a wet shirt (with dry and clean bibs sitting in his cubby). -They had serious staffing issues and had to close their classrooms unannounced several days during fall and winter! Once they emailed us at 7am that they could only take 8 more toddlers that day, and first come first serve! Other days they would ask us to pick up our kids earlier due to staff being out. - There were also a lot of little less important, but annoying, things as well such as not removing the kids shoes for nap time, not being stocked with age-appropriate educational toys like legos, building blocks etc., not allowing food from home, they would play super loud music non stop in the evening, they tossed all the water bottles in a cubby all week and never changed the water or cleaned the bottles until parents pick them up at the end of week and clean them, they would not provide water to the kids during the day only at specific times (my kids were sooo thirsty when we picked them up because they couldn't speak and ask for water or they did and were ignored). All in all, while there are a few positives, I would never recommend this place to anyone who wants the best for their child. I have even heard teachers working at that center discouraging parents from putting their children there! That should be telling enough...

Honest review here from a parent - they are the best and been the best decision ever to have our kids here. I see notes that they don't have locking doors - but they do! They installed them and they are very safe and I have no concerns about the doors locking and safety of the kids inside. I also see notes about dirty - and I do not feel this is true. Yes the place is not brand new, but it is absolutely clean and they do a great job cleaning toys everyday here as well to keep kids from spreading germs. They have wonderful outdoor areas for kids to play on structures and run around, ride bikes, or shoot hoops.

Many ppl feel that Montessori teaching leaves a lot to the child workout boundaries but I can say that's not true. Yes, children are observed to see what they naturally gravitate towards, but they are also guided and encouraged to explore other activities in their classroom environment. I can go on and on but I truly love this place, the community of parents and absolutely amazing teachers! I'm kinda obsessed with all the natural wood through the school and classrooms too.
