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.

All of my children have been nothing but loved and taken care of every minute of every single day. This place is family. It's home outside of home. I see these wonderful ladies at the front every single morning and evening ready to help in anyway they can! Or just smile at you while you come through the door. My husband and I were brand new to the area and I can truthfully say, we found family within this Kindercare. Salmon creek Kindercare is by far the BEST daycare my children could receive. Not only have my children learned so much from these wonderful teachers but they also are so structured which is by far the best. If you're looking for a place where your children will feel safe and loved, it's here!

They handled COVID extremely well, balancing keeping kids in school along while still being serious about keeping everyone safe! They communicate very well, Kayte the director is on it and is always available for questions or feedback. I recently asked for some support at home in helping my preschooler work on letters and the teacher put together a huge packet of games, stickers and lessons for me to have fun with my child at home reinforcing the classroom learnings. I have had my children in the past in a Montessori school so I was skeptical at first with a larger, generic daycare type of facility but what I've found is an organized and caring learning environment!

Other parents were not notified. I wasn't impressed. The staff is not trained on how to handle social emotional learning. I wish it worked out, just wasn't pleased with the care with such a high cost. Per contract, we had to pay for the next month because we didn't give a 30 day notice. It was more important to withdraw her as we saw this took a toll on her confidence and comfort in a learning environment. Thousands of dollars to waste in our experience, making something work that wasn't working.

She said he completely trashed an area of the classroom. My son wouldn't fuss up to it so my husband took him to view the footage. Surprise! He didn't do it. What was the point? He's not coming back? Why did y'all have to do that for? I am so glad he's finally out of this school. It felt like he's been labeled this awful kid for doing normal three year old behavior. The other kids would come up to me during pick up time and tell me how he's been "bad all day." He was placed in a class room where I was told "five minutes of reading or dancing at the carpet" was age appropriate for circle time. Then he moved up to a classroom where he'd be expected to sometimes sit at the table with no toys or activities for 15-20mins while teachers put away cots. Of course he's going to struggle and not control himself as well as the 4-4.5 year olds. He's a fresh three year old coming from a room with no established routine.

It truly feels like a family. Going to Little Explorers is such a treat. I recommend them over and over!!

My son has been going here for two years and we really love this school…read more The school is very small, with two classrooms: one for toddlers and one for preschool. It operates inside a beautiful church though is not affiliated with it at all. The school runs on a co-op model where parents volunteer a small amount every week in some way - either in person or helping with errands or other chores. I thought this might be a pain but I actually really like how it creates a sense of community. I've gotten to know the teachers, other parents and even the students pretty well! When my son was a toddler, the school helped up potty train, which we feel really fortunate about. Now that he's older and in the pre school room he gets a lot of structure and stimulation and the classroom, coming home to tell us what he learned or made each day.

We have been at Kidspace for two yes. I've been holding off on writing a review because there are…read moreno words I could write to accurately describe the level of care, compassion, thoughtfulness, curiosity, and love for learning that exudes every inch of this school. My kid asks to go to school almost every day. My mind is at ease at drop off off, and when I pick her up, she is usually beaming about what they did in school that day. As a bonus, she has made several great friends. In my personal experience in observing many preschools and interacting with their children and staff as part of my job, many are just meeting the basic needs. Yes, the children are usually safe. But are they engaged? Educated thoughtfully? Do they feel like part of the school family? Do YOU? At Kidspace they are and you will! Kidspace is magical and a revelation. ALL children should have the opportunity to attend a preschool THIS GOOD! The owner is also actively exploring bringing back the Kindergarten program starting in the 2023-2024 school year!

My kids loved the Nature School component of Kidspace too! Nothing beats being in the woods & climbing trees as part of their play based curriculum.
