We had visited a couple other learning centers/daycares in the area, neither of which left us feeling like they were right for our family. After our initial walk through and meeting with Nupur Singh who is the centers Director and teacher, we knew this was the place for us! Our little guy ended up attending for a little less then 3 years until graduating to Kindergarten this year. Before he started, our son was exceptionally shy when interacting with those outside of our family. Preschool was proving to be no exception but the teachers worked with him with patience, and gave him all the time he needed to come out of his shell. Our experience while he was in their care was a positive one and helped build an good academic foundation for elementary school. Him leaving this year was bittersweet for our family but we feel fortunate for the experience that we had and to have found teachers who truly care for their students.

As a teacher and childcare provider for 8+ years, I spent lots of time researching places that…read morewould be suitable and safe for my daughter when we moved to Beaverton. I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon WYLC, specifically Teacher Nupur who showed a very deep and purposeful interest in the work she is doing. In all of my years of working in child care facilities, I had not seen nor experienced anything nearly as intentional, child-centered, or loving as the environment that Teacher Nupur creates for these children. My daughter has attended since the beginning of the year 2024 and I have only wonderful things to say about the program. Teacher Nupur cares deeply for each child and provides so much love and support in her facility to help them thrive as individuals and become confident in themselves. This also shows in the amazing teachers that she trains personally so that each child is met with a loving, respectful and supportive teacher. She even cooks healthy food for the children that my daughter grew to love. (food that she wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole at home!) So much of what I love about the program, can be seen just by walking through the facility. Each wall and corner carefully and thoughtfully put together to create a kid friendly, positive and calm space. We love Teacher Nupur and are heart-broken to have to leave due to moving for work. Finding a new childcare facility that compares will be a near impossible feat.

We were very interested in enrolling our twin boys at this school for the fall of 2020, so much so,…read morewe went ahead and signed them up in early 2020, pre-pandemic i.e., before the first COVID case had even arrived in the western world and before we knew there would be a shut down or any of the other crazy things that happened at that time. We also had a newborn baby who would later become medically fragile and require open heart surgery and multiple other procedures that year. As you can imagine, it was one of the hardest years of our life. Due to her health, we had to be especially careful about possible exposure. We checked in with CCC sporadically up until the summer. We were keen to know if the program would still go ahead despite the pandemic. They were guarded and at one point mentioned by phone that it was uncertain due to low enrolment. By the late summer, it became clear that we could no longer take the risks of enrolling our twins in preschool at that time. We explained the extenuating circumstances and withdrew the application in order to give the school as much notice as possible. By this point, we had already paid the fees for the first term. The school refused to take the pandemic or our unique situation into account and kept over $800. This is despite the fact that the CCC preschool program we had enrolled the twins did not proceed due to the pandemic. They refused to reimburse us and refused to let us put the fees toward future enrolment once it was safe to do so. They did not even get in touch with information of when the program would re-start even though we explained very clearly why we had to hold off but that we still hoped to enrol at a later date if possible, pending our daughter being more medically stable.

Here is my experience with this place…read more We toured the place sometime is November and liked the set up, food they provide and the infrastructure they have. Me and my wife were happy and decided to get on the wait list for our twin toddlers here. We were told that the registration fee for one baby is 200$ and the other sibling will get 100$ off on the registration. Other places near by charge lesser or similar money and this was not our concern and we decided to register. Later we were told that we need to pay one month tuition fee if are going for full day program for both the babies. We were surprised that they ask for one month tuition fee for being on wait list? Who does that ? I have asked different places thinking it might be a norm around this place but NO - only this place does it. Not knowing when the spot will open and giving away 2 babies tuition fee with uncertainty, ambiguity and risk of losing money if we decide to move to another place. It's as good as asking for a one month rental as application fee on a home without actually renting home and being on the wait list hoping it will become available to you - with NO firm date. As parents we make sure our kids go to a place which is not money minded. Of course we are ready to pay the fee when it comes to the point where we have the spot allocated. Now here is my another surprise with this center. Their website do not say that they take registration fee + tuition fee as registration to be on the wait list. It just says that 200$ is the registration fee. Further to add to my surprise - I know my friend who is in the waitlist for the Kozy kids. My conversation with him was for the additional tuition fee which they hold along with the registration to be on the waitlist. He said to me that he did not pay any tuition fee as hold- all he gave was the registration fee of 200$ for his kid. I was really shocked to hear that the policy is not common for all. I went again today and checked with the center on the policy of the registration. They told me the same thing - I have to pay tuition fee + registration fee as registration fee to be on waitlist. I asked them is it common for all - I did tell them that I know someone who got their kid on waitlist told and all they did was to pay the registration fee of 200$ and they did not pay tuition fee as part of registration fee. I just think that they don't want our twins at their center and they keep pushing us back. Very unhappy with the experience. I just feel that they don't want us or twins in their center or they want to make more money. I recommend you all to be sure on the paper work with this center.

In comparison to all of the other schools it is also the most affordable. They are very open to communicating with us and accommodating whatever needs.

Now he's telling jokes in English, is very sociable, ditched the pacifier and is wearing underwear. He's grown so much at the school with the help of Ms. Kelli. Why I like this school in comparison to the other schools nearby: - I can watch the security camera of my child's classroom all day which is comforting especially since he's young - He is given nutritional snacks and lunch from the school - He is given a lot of 1 on 1 attention - It is more affordable in comparison to the schools nearby - It is safe, there are codes for the doors and outside is closed off. - language and motor skills development exceeds his age group because of the Montessori learning style - Great communication between Ms. Tammi and the parents

Madeline is such an amazing teacher and I can't imagine anyone better suited to teaching this age group than her. She's the epitome of a fun, calm, silly, and compassionate teacher who loves the kids in her care fiercely and helps them explore and blossom in her care. My son has his confidence back and actually wants to go to school every day. At our prior school he complained about going every day and came home so defeated. He is truly thriving with Madeline and her program and we feel so lucky to be here. Aside from how amazing Madeline is as a teacher, the outdoor area is amazing, the inside is cozy, and the program is a perfect balance of structure and individual play. My son comes home singing new songs and talking about fun games they played every day. And the sense of community is so amazing and something I didn't know I was missing. I can't recommend Madeline enough!
