Our Sparkleberrys journey began almost 6 years ago when my oldest daughter first started preschool…read more We now have had at least one of our three girls enrolled in Sparkleberrys each year ever since! Sparkeberrys had been an awesome experience for all of my girls and in every way. The teachers are kind, attentive, helpful, understanding and well loved by their students. They teach kindness and the students learn through play and socialization with other children. My 3rd grader still says Miss Jocelyn was the best teacher she's ever had and my kindergartener keeps asking to go back for summer camp!

All three of our children have gone to Sparkleberry's now, with our middle finishing up his last…read moreyear there this spring, before heading off to kindergarten. The teachers and the program are amazing and have been a fantastic fit for our shy and opinionated children. When our oldest was having a hard time with saying goodbye and being away from us, Jocelyn and her team stepped right in to help with the transition and were great with communication throughout the day (and outside of school, too!). Highly recommend Sparkleberrys, and we look forward to spending the next two years there with our youngest.

I simply cannot recommend this preschool enough. Both of my kiddos attended Pathfinders and as soon…read moreas my daughter started there we realized that we were a part of a very special family. With the low teacher-to-student ratio it is clear that they get to know the children and nurture them as individuals. They do a wonderful job of developing curriculum, covering the fundamentals of education, and make the extra effort to celebrate all of the special holidays (the Christmas celebration and Mother's day tea are SO wonderful). My daughter was absolutely prepared for Kindergarten having attended this school which is all we could hope for as parents. Tammie and the rest of the staff are excellent communicators, trustworthy educators and we just consider ourselves so lucky to have had such wonderful people be a part of such a precious time in our children's lives!

The Museum is quite large with both indoor and outdoor space. There's a cafe area with food and drinks. I was quite impressed about the amount of activities to do from crafts, to science projects to all sorts of ways to flex your creative muscles.

It might be better for older, science oriented kids, but adults will likely find it interesting as well. It's free and all they ask you do is provide some info about how many people are in your party and the zip code you are visiting from. It's a good rainy day activity and can provide some educational moments. There is an interactive scavenger hunt which involves doing 8 tasks and ends with the ability to choose a prize. The maze pen we won is pretty cool. My 10 year old nephew was easily able to complete all the tasks and seemed to enjoy doing it. Some things were like video games, which he seemed to like and maybe it will give him some ideas about career possibilities for the future. It was a good learning opportunity about the importance of saving water and learning about what happens to all the water we waste, etc. I wish I lived in Olympia and was able to trace where the water goes when I flush the toilet. It was nice that they ask you to share what you learn when you go to redeem your prize. I'm not sure if my 8 year old niece would have found it as interesting, but there are places to sit and some kitchen toys to play with if not. It looks like they also have some crafts available. Check it out if you are in the area.
