We absolutely love Noah's Ark. Our two-year old has been with them for 8 months now. I was very…read morenervous at first as he had only ever been with a private caregiver, but they have eased all of our fears and surpassed every expectation. Not only do they give us daily report cards, but the teachers take time to talk to every parent at pick up about how their day went. Our little guy went through a bought of upset tummies and they were excellent about trouble shooting with us and tracking his meals with a food diary so we could get to the bottom of the issue. At two and a half our son knows all of his ABC's, counts to 10 in three languages, knows all of his colors, animals and even knows sign language, all thanks to the staff at Noah's Ark! We could not have found a better group of people to love and care for our son!

I want to start by saying that many of the teachers at this daycare are wonderful and genuinely…read morecare about the children. My concerns are not with the majority of the classroom staff, but with the overall leadership, communication, and management. Although the teachers are kind, there were many times when they appeared extremely overwhelmed by the number of children they were responsible for. It was difficult as a parent to see how stretched they seemed, and it raised concerns about whether the classroom staffing levels were appropriate and within Washington state requirements for child-to-teacher ratios. Unfortunately, our experience was heavily impacted by the Director, Amanda. Communication from leadership was one of the biggest challenges. There were many times when parents were left feeling unheard, unsupported, or unsure where to turn. Conversations often felt dismissive rather than collaborative. The expectations for children also felt unrealistic. Normal childhood behaviors and developmental challenges were sometimes treated as major issues, with the response feeling more like "you should get a nanny" rather than working together with families to support the child. Another concern was seeing an older school-aged child frequently spending time in the toddler classroom and interacting with the younger children. This raised questions about classroom structure and supervision. It is disappointing because there are caring teachers who clearly want the best for the kids, but strong leadership and respectful communication with families are equally important in childcare. Parents should feel like partners, not like they are walking on eggshells or being made to feel helpless. I also noticed that one recent five-star review specifically praising Amanda appears to come from someone identified as her office manager. Several reviews are from current teachers which feels very dishonest. I think it is important for prospective families to consider a variety of perspectives when reading reviews.

You could really tell the teachers loved their jobs and cared deeply for the kids they served. Sadly in 2012 during the middle of the school year City Church (Now Churchhome), the owner of the building, surprised everyone and told Noah's Ark they would not renew the lease and gave them a short time to get out. Noah's Ark desperately tried to find a new location, but when they couldn't they had to shut down their school all together. What an incalculable loss for this young kids and the City of Sammamish.

I am sure you don't want the full (long) version, but I will try to give you the summary…read more Our son and daughter were there. My son, 5 and my daughter, 3. To be fair, my daughter's teacher was fabulous, so there may be hope should you decide to place your children here. My son's teacher was (IMO) horrid! To start with, she is a mother who has a nanny take care of her children so she can work at the school. I find that incredibly odd. I cannot see how a preschool teachers salary can be valuable enough to offset the cost of a full-time nanny. At any rate - our son was overheard using a "potty word" and the school let us know. We disciplined him, told him it was inappropriate, etc. Well, a few weeks later, the school called my wife and I in to have a meeting. They stated in the meeting that another 5 year old heard our sone say the "F" word. The teacher questioned my son, and cohersed him into admitting he did say a bad word. ((side note - during the entire meeting, the teacher did not speak, make eye contact, or engage in the meeting. We were speaking to the director and the associate pastor of the church.)) The staff went on to explain that bad words were not acceptable, and if he were to get a "third strike", the school would expell him. When I asked if the school saw fit to work with a child, and be accepting and forgiving, they said "no" and that bad words were NEVER tolerated and they felt strong in their desire to expell children who use these words. WOW! A christian school that isn't able to forgive, teach and nurture... odd... Furthermore, they stated that our son was in need of a special observation to see "what his issues were". The state would pay for the observation. We declined. We then moved back to Noah's Ark, and immediately saw our son flourish! He loved school, loved the teachers and the teachers loved him. When we asked (many times) if he was "challenging" or "naughty" - the answer was no. Look, I don't want to seem like our kid is bad and we are naive. We have shared this story (in greater detail) with many families and they are all appauled at the schools position. In fact, many of the families are members of this church and were begging us to let them speak to the churches board of directors. Our son never physically threatened another child, never hit, never endangered anyone. He used bad language, twice, and the school felt this was something they could not handle. I find this very odd, as we are PAYING them to teach our kids right from wrong.

Do you need a place of worship at which you can feel comfortable? How about loved? How about…read moreeducated? How about joyful? Well, Mount Cross is all of that and more. Their mission statement says: Rejoice, Renew, & Reach Out in the Name of Jesus, and we/they do it well. Mt Cross celebrates it's 50th year in 2008. There are all sorts of celebrations planned. Each and all of the previous pastors have been invited to come and preach here once again. The congregation's reaction so far has been glorious. Not every pastor is a great preacher, but the sermons these previous pastors have delivered have been uniformly stimulating and thought provoking, not to mention poignant. The congregation's president, Roger Knapp, has a clear vision of service to our community. You might know him as a local teacher, and his otherwise demonstrated organization, humor, and wisdom are serving him well in this position, too. Pastor Dave Steffenson is one of those rare people who make people feel at ease immediately. And his sermons are consistently first quality. If a Sunday goes by without him singing parts of a couple songs as illustration, we feel as though we've missed something. His education and depth of knowledge serve him well in our very diverse congregation. Sunday worship services are held at 8:15 and 11:00 AM from September through May, and at 8:15 and 10:00 AM from June through August. Between services there is a fellowship time with refreshments (and stimulating conversation!) provided. Sunday School hour is held for all (from 3 years old through adults) beginning at 9:45 AM from September through May. Last year Dr. Dan Peterson from PLU gave a series of talks for the adults on Lutheran origins and beliefs. He'll be back this fall (2008) for five Sundays beginning September 28th. I know the place will be "sold out" for his presentations. I wish he had been teaching when I attended PLU in the late 60's! Wednesday evenings (Sept thru May) there will be a supper open to all beginning at 5:30 PM. Afterwards there are various activities planned for all. Did you see (or read) the Chronicles of Narnia, the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe? Well, last year for a number of Wednesdays in a row, we had the whole series of Narnia stories summarized and the allusions explained to us. What a great way to spend a couple of hours on a Wednesday evening. Are you looking for a good, interesting, professionally guided preschool with a Christian overview? Noah's Ark Christian Preschool is becoming the talk of the town! The Vacation Bible School this past summer was WELL ATTENDED yet again. And there are many other educational opportunities for all - children as well as adults. Mount Cross partners in ministry with many other local organizations such as the Families Unlimited Network, the Peace Community Center, the Phoenix Housing Network, Habitat for Humanity, and many others. If helping others makes you feel as good as it does us, give this a try! Bottom line: This is no staid or stodgy place. Come listen to (and participate in!) any of the activities. You'll have fun and feel good about doing so, all at the same time. Check out their web site: www.MountCrossLutheran.org for more details. This is the real deal.
