Every day my daughter even has to wave goodbye to the director and or the owner if they are in the office. Such a great place! I could go on and on!

A full year in the books being with Katie's Kids preschool and our family has never been happier!…read more I personally have been involved in my kid's daycares before we moved to Eagle, ID (and also my oldest daughter's school experience being that she is special needs), so I am a bull dog mama making sure the right people are taking care of my kids. The teachers and staff working at Katie's Kids along with Katie herself are exactly who I want molding and helping my children learn and grow. To be honest, reading one of these negative views gets my blood boiling because Katie works so hard to give/provide the best possible experience and atmosphere for our children and her staff. Katie is a BOSS LADY because she has has built her business from the ground up and to be honest if it were a man we were talking about no one would be questioning it. Women need to be lifting other women up not trying to tear them apart. Also, Katie is more direct then most so because she is direct and has strict policy on sickness/illness (to protect her and the school from liability) she is now seen as a rude?!! My kids have had Hand foot, Mouth, pink eye, etc. so we have had to take our kids out for days and weeks at a time. Unfortunately, that is part of the drill when your kids go to daycare/school. They are going to get sick sometimes more often especially if they are new. And believe me it's hard working with your kids home but if your kids are sick or have a contagious bug then no matter what school they are at you would have to keep them home. What I really want to emphasize is that the teachers are happy and you can tell they are part of a family there and I feel that way too. Katie and Wendy are always available; their door is always open if I need to discuss anything but I find myself sharing our lives and all the positive things my kiddos are doing and learning. Leaving your children everyday in the care of someone else is scary and hard to do. I have had family help raising my children, previous day care facilities, an in home facility and school so I know all facets of this industry. That said, I have an almost 2 year old and a 5 year old at Katie's (my oldest is in 1st grade) and we feel good dropping them off EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. My kids are loved and celebrated. They are taught to be kind, respectful and overall good humans which is hard to come by in this day and age. We are blessed to have Katie and her staff in our lives taking care of our children while my husband and I both work and I hope you check it out and find out how wonderful it is for yourself!

You cannot get that anywhere else. My 5yo daughter says it is a "loving and kind" environment and that is why she loves it. She knows that they care about her, they are invested in her development and that they instill a respectful culture. It is truly special. The education she has gotten there is so well rounded, I cannot say enough. They implement the Montessori methodology and have gone above and beyond to implement as many learning opportunities as possible. My daughter has grown in math and reading as well as the day to day basics that children need to grow in this world. Just this week they have been growing their own spices, learning about them, grinding them and bringing them home for use. She loves it. Ms Rosemarie has been teaching her Spanish, which she loves, and Ms Carrie has been taking them on educational field trips to grow her education in the community. She looks forward to seeing Ms Jan every day, and wanted to tell her about her loose tooth. She loves Ms Amy and the activities she has put together for the outside play. I just can't say enough good things. We love all of the teachers there. If you want your child to thrive, bring them here!

I was looking for a Montessori school in the Boise area for my Kindergartener after the school she…read morewas attending closed. I had fond memories of Cloverdale Montessori when I went here as a child (30+ years ago), so I decided to enroll her here for the 2022-2023 school year. The school has changed ownership a few times since I attended but it is still as wonderful as I remember. My daughter's development is night and day since her fist day there. In one year, she has not only improved in knowledge and comprehension, but also in speech and social skills. They really have the school structure down to a science. It is set up perfectly to teach practical life skills, academics, independence, and social skills. All the teachers there are wonderful, respectful, knowledgeable and really care about making sure each child gets what they need to constantly be moving forward. Ms. Jan was always welcoming and made morning drop off stress free. Ms. Carrie and Ms. Rosemarie, who were her primary teachers, really went above and beyond to adapt their teaching styles to her learning style so she could succeed, for which we are so grateful. Sadly, Cloverdale does not offer elementary levels so we have had to change schools since graduation, and unfortunately, I now know first hand that not all Montessori schools in the area are as invested in your child as Cloverdale Montessori. So, if you are looking into a Montessori school for your child, you really cannot do better than Cloverdale Montessori.

Best swim lessons and swim instructors we've had!…read more It's an outdoor pool and they're only open during the summer months. My daughter has done swim lessons elsewhere and hasn't enjoyed them, the water has been too cold or the instructors are just not pushing her enough. Susie's swim school has excellent instructors, the pool is nicely heated and they push the kids just enough to get them advancing without leaving them with a bad pool experience. It's a 2 kid to 1 instructor ratio with up to 4 kids and 2 instructors in each class. Classes are 30 minutes long Monday - Thursday and $40 per week. This year, you had to register by Wednesday for the following week. My daughter absolutely loved going to swim lessons! It'll be tough finding another place like this during their off season.

I couldn't ask for a better environment for the foundation of my daughter's school years and learning. The Christian environment is important to our family, and I love that is a main focus at the school too. There are plenty of other preschools to choose from in Meridian and closer to where we live... but I will gladly make the drive to Eagle Christian preschool knowing my daughter is thriving and in such good care!!
