Awesome playground. My kids love the variety of things to do on this playground. My daughter ran…read morethe entire time, from one play structure to another. She just wanted to try it all as fast as she could. Different areas for kids of different ages. The playground's icon is a 25-foot-long colorful caterpillar climbing sculpture. Kids can climb, exercise their fine and gross motor skills, and really feel their accomplishment as they climb to the nose of the caterpillar. All play areas have adjacent paths for continuous easy movement. The colorful park has a tree and meadow motif, with plants and creatures depicted in the equipment and the poured-in-place rubber surfacing. The playground includes features designed to encourage healthy physical development, such as slides, swings, spinners, and climbing rocks, as well as nontraditional playground activities designed for sensory development. The playground is divided into three areas: One play area focuses on early childhood, one focuses on children ages 5 to 12, and one is easily used by both groups for climbing, swinging, spinning and sliding. Children can play anywhere on the playground, but the design allows younger children to play independently from older children. The early childhood areas feature equipment that helps young children develop balance, coordination, social skills, and imagination. They can climb on a sculpted ladybug, and spin in an Omni Spinner and on a ring-like Super Nova. A glider swing is big enough to accommodate a pile of kids. They can try the balance beam and play in a little house. In the painted-games area, children can hopscotch on a dragonfly or balance on a bee flying to a flower. The Rolling Hills synthetic turf mound invites them to climb up and roll down, and in a climbing area, they can travel the circular walk or climb the tree to the top of a play structure and slide down the slide. Children on tricycles or in wheelchairs rolling on the Wavy Walk can stop at a stop sign, fill up at the gas station, and slow down in the school zone. They can also enjoy the sensory delight of making music on oversized instruments. A central covered area with picnic tables allows parents to sit in the shade and see almost every play area. Benches are also scattered around the periphery. A bathroom was clean and close by. This park is definitely worth the trip. Bring a picnic, but don't bring your dog. Dogs (other than service animals) aren't allowed.

Thankfully, sending my kids to Rainier Christian Schools' Little People Preschool has never been one of those choices I've doubted. I know when I drop them off my kids are greeted by teachers who love them, they learn more about the Bible and have weekly Chapel, and have developed wonderful friendships with other kids at school. One of the reasons I also chose this preschool is because my son was 4 and still having trouble potty training, and they have a special classroom devoted to potty training, and within 3 months of joining he was fully potty trained! I am continually thankful that we chose RCS for our family and that our kids are thriving there.

I loved being home with them and didn't think I needed preschool. Co op allowed me to maintain some control (parents volunteer their time in class) and learn much more than I thought possible from my peers and from the teachers. It was a real eye opener for me. My son ended up at TCP for his last two years before kindergarten. It was a rich and rewarding experience that I recommend to anyone who has the flexibility to do it. It's affordable, fun, and a great way to fill in the at-home parenting experience.

The teachers are experienced, and their approach is very thoughtful. The classroom is prepared just right for the students, and there's so much for her to explore and learn with. I feel I've learned as well about how to support my daughter's education. We're excited about sending our second daughter to Montessori Time once she's old enough. Some notes: They have an excellent music curriculum and Spanish instruction once a week. They also offer summer day camps focused on specific topics. This was a great way to help our daughter (and ourselves) feel comfortable with being in preschool.

I don't typically write long reviews and only after I wrote this did I realize how long it was. But as a Working parent with kids and I must use childcare. I hope this review helps someone else like me. We enrolled our first at Goddard Kent during COVID through the fluctuations that are life, they have remained a constant support and reliable resource for our family--it only made sense to enroll our daughter when she was born. It's hard to find people you trust with your kids. It's also hard to find people that are reliable. We have found both at Goddard. We have found teachers that genuinely love and care about our kids such as Ms. Marisol, Ms. Lakshmi, Ms. Dani, Ms. Erika, Ms. Jenny, Ms. Kalen, Ms. Veedy, Ms. Summer, Ms. Zulema, Ms. Summer, and Ms. Taraji, the list goes on. We have also really been impressed with the management, the owner Ms. Chelsea has a masters in early childhood development and she is incredibly passionate and invested in the work she is doing. The Director Ms. Jenn, I simply have no words--she is incredible. She shows up and gives 110% everyday. She truly recognizes, respects, and values the impact her work has on shaping this next generation of children. Ms. Dasha, is the brains behind the fun, She will help everyone and anyone, and our kids are obsessed with her. Ms. Jatinder is an invaluable resource supporting the teachers. Childcare is a difficult industry with lots of turnover. It's inevitable. But the thing about Goddard is that Because the owner and the management care, it means they hire teachers who also care. There's a reason why they call them teachers at Goddard And not babysitters. Note, check out Miss Erika in preschool 1 and her hand-painted poster of Pete The Cat-- or any other number of times I have witnessed the teachers that have gone above and beyond. For example, There was a friend that was particularly disruptive in one of our kids classrooms-- it was undeniably frustrating as a parent in the moment, However, in hindsight the way that management partnered with the child's parents in that situation with the support of the teacher To advocate for this kid to receive the resources he needed really showed me how much they care. That child was advocated for and supported. Along with all the other children in that classroom. That's my $.02.
