Kids - 33. Mom - 5…read more One of the nasty little surprises for parents of school aged children are these pesky little things called holidays and school closure days. The count above reflects the number of days during the school year that the primary schools in my district are closed vs. the number of days my company recognizes as holidays. Notice a little discrepancy? Well, mother's little helper isn't a glass of chardonnay. For some of those days, it is CREST to the rescue. A public school education in West Linn - Wilsonville is quite good. But, even in the best of times, exposing your kids to new concepts with a focus on nature, science, inquiry and exploration is never a bad thing. And guess what? These full day programs are scheduled to coincide with days the public schools are closed. CREST works in conjunction with the WLWV school district and they operate a research facility and farm in Wilsonville. CREST isn't open on a daily basis to the public, but you can call them to schedule a tour. They also have an open house every fall [1] and special events throughout the year. They've even partnered with Audubon in the past for wildlife releases. My children have benefited from CREST programs for years. A few of their 'Learning on the Go' programs take place at the CREST facility, but more often than not, they are field trips. Amazing trips to parks, wetlands, creeks and farms. The programs are grade level specific, so on the same day they may offer two programs. One for grades 1 - 3 and another for grades 2 - 5. This isn't a cheap option ($35 - 40/day), but I consider it money well spent. The highlight for my oldest son last year was their week long spring break trip to the Oregon Coast. My son had an absolute blast and they perfectly balanced education and fun. Another reason why this is the best of the best in my area is that the district created a Farm-to-School program, managed by CREST, so they have a 10-acre plot to raise fresh produce for our district's food program. I can't say enough good things about the staff. Both on the administrative and the educational side. A public school education can be a mixed bag, but CREST earns full marks. They are totally on the honor roll. [1] Open House is September 18, 2010 from 10am - 2 pm

It's clear they take pride in their work and genuinely want their clients to be happy. Definitely will have them be our regular cleaners from now on for their biweekly services!

Bring your lunch, safety glasses, gloves, and a great attitude. The only bad part about it is that Gordon is a diehard Red Sox fan. But I guess we can all forgive him for that. Don't miss this.

When I contacted them, they were kind and assured me they would find someone who would be the "perfect fit" for our family. But I soon found out that dealing with this company is like communicating with a bunch of flaky college roommates. It was one disappointment after another-- offering me nannies that were actually not available for the days/times we needed, not getting back to me, etc. This is an added stress you definitely do NOT need when trying to find a trustworthy caregiver for your kids. Not only did they not find someone for me, but they haven't checked in once to see if I'm still looking. So much for finding that perfect fit. I ended up finding someone through care.com. I wish I avoided College Nannies and Tutors from the start!

Excellent teachers | Safe, trustworthy, fun PreK…read more I've waited to write this review until my daughter graduated from here. She's been here for two years and loved it! It's important to note that we enrolled her in 2021. She was very shy and isolated during 2020, so a part of why we enrolled her was to get more socialization. She's a complete social butterfly and gets along well with anyone now. Like every parent, I needed to feel reassured that my kid was going to be in good hands when I send her off to preschool. It's a big milestone and quite daunting going through the process of which place to choose. We looked at 3 other places, 1 other one in town before immediately deciding to enroll our daughter. Here are my pluses: * compassionate, trustworthy, transparent, and attentive teachers/staff * BrightWheel app to give you daily updates on your kid-- including photos! * fun activities -- cute artwork * safe and enclosed with doors that are locked * across the street from the park Compassionate, trustworthy, transparent, and attentive: the teachers always greet us at pick up and tell us if our kiddo had an accident (of any kind). If she fell, we sign a paper acknowledging what happened. They've worked with us for a whole year potty training our kiddo. It was a very long process that required a lot of patience, but we finally got there just before she turned 5. They have been nothing but patient and supportive every step of the way, never pushing it. Class sizes vary due to kids on different schedules, so one day they'll have 3-7 kids and another day there will be a dozen. Every kid seems happy and engaged when I'm there. They have nap time at noon for two hours, which is very important if you're looking to enroll young toddlers. They're flexible with drop off time up until 9am and pick up before 6pm. On sunny days, they'll take the kids across the street to play at the park. You communicate using their BrightWheel app, which you get updates including photos of your kid throughout the day. I wish they had this tech when I was growing up! My daughter is sad to leave this place, but we know that if we have another kiddo in the future, we'll be back here again.
