My 5th Grade teacher is Ms. Kawachi, she is the best teacher i could ever ask for. Show her some love if your moving onto 5th grade, also Ms. Kawachi is possibly getting a new job at McKnight! And, please show some love to Ms. Lauritsen, she's moving to a different school since she lives in Tacoma now :(. Ms. Wesley is a Kindergartener teacher in 2023, she allows 5th graders to help in her classroom, she's very sweet !

Enjoy your stay at Honey Dew Elementary ! :) - Sincerely, A 5th Grader.

My son attended their extended day Pre-K program this year and just graduated this week. It was…read moresuch an amazing experience! He learned so much and gained so many skills. The teachers are fantastic and I always felt comfortable leaving him in their hands. They have an indoor play room with large toys and a nice outdoor play set with a fence. No matter the weather they are able to get their energy out. We'll miss Highlands Preschool and we'll definitely bring our other children here in the future!

The staff at Highlands Preschool is phenomenal. My daughter's teacher has been working for 16 years…read moreand had her own daughter go to Highlands Preschool. The school has been around for 70 years and for good reason! There is so much love and care. Every time I drop off my child, I know this is a place of love, safety, and intentionality. Every classroom is different and caters to students as a whole and individually. My child was one of the oldest kids and the teacher taught her leadership skills, and helpfulness with younger children. I loved the way the teacher helped my daughter solve problems. Whenever there was a small issue, it never felt like a big deal because it was solved in the classroom, and my child felt empowered to learn how to solve her own problems in a loving way. I would recommend Highlands Preschool to all families!

They even have translators in some classrooms for children who speak different languages. The teachers and administrators are very warm, loving and professional. My wife and I have watched our child grow confidence in her reading and math and all around. They host community eengagement events in the evenings to try to include as many parents as possible. We really love being part of the Skyway community and Lakerigde plays a huge role in that!!!

The Orchards Childcare and Preschool is better than I could have imagined a childcare center could…read morebe. I currently have my two children enrolled at the Orchards. I am particularly impressed with how the caregivers and teachers take a genuine interest in the progress and lives of each of the children in their class. Whenever I've had questions, the Orchards Director has been easy to reach and prompt in her responses. The classrooms have been recently renovated and are kept clean. There is a good variety of age appropriate and safe toys in all of the classrooms. Security is well maintained with video monitoring, keypad access to facilities and fenced outdoor play areas. I love the phone application that they use for the secure check in and out procedure, as well as the photo updates throughout the day. Their Junior Kindergarten class is quite robust in its educational curriculum. The lead Junior Kindergarten teacher has been teaching young students for over 20 years, I believe. I'm honestly impressed at the progress my four year old has made behaviorally and educationally. They also have done a great job at offering events throughout the year. Kids Christmas program, picture days, Easter egg hunts, "pumpkin patch" etc. I couldn't recommend the Orchards more.
