Our son is thriving and learning so much. We began the year with expectations of a preschool environment and Miss Alana has far exceeded them. The curriculum, communication and structure of the preschool are so well organized. Miss Alana's Preschool is such an amazing environment for learning and a few things have stood out to us this past year: -Weekly email updates and schedules for parents -Conferences to update parents on each individual child's progress -Dual language learning -Planned curriculum such as learning about a new country and letter each week, yoga, STEM activities, art and skill based activities like painting, drawing, using scissors and writing names -Programs throughout the year like a Christmas concert, holiday parties, Easter egg hunt and graduation -Special visits from the dentist, sheriff, pen pal, etc. -Secure entrance for parents -HUGE backyard for a lot of outdoor structured playtime While looking for a preschool, we expected a structured environment, however, the greatest surprise for us has been the commitment to social emotional development and Miss Alana's passion for teaching. We find this part most important in preparing our son for elementary school while also reinforcing our home life experiences. Our son loves going to preschool and is excited for Monday to come around so he can see his friends, teachers, learn, explore and play. When we pick him up, he is always asking to stay "just one more minute." Miss Alana and Mr. Mel are more then his preschool teachers, they have become like a second family. We feel safe and secure in dropping him off everyday and love watching him learn and grow. We cannot recommend Miss Alana's Preschool enough to friends who are looking for a preschool. Thank you Miss Alana and Mr. Mel for all you do to create the best preschool environment possible.

There are not enough words to express how WONDERFUL Miss Alana and Mr. Mel are! If you are looking…read morefor a top-notch preschool, this is it. We had heard of Miss Alana's preschool through word of mouth from three separate sets of friends. When it came time for our oldest to enter preschool, we were thrilled to snag a full time spot for her. Through her year with Miss Alana, she thrived. The curriculum takes on a world-view, with classwork units based on a country (as a middle school Social Studies teacher, this was an added bonus). During a 2-3 week unit on a a country, students are immersed in the language of the country, traditional folktales, how to count in that language and in English, art activities that stress letter sounds and recognition, as well as counting and sorting skills. Our daughter came home every night excited to tell us about her day, what she learned, and how much fun she was having with her friends. Along with the incredible academics, students learn social-emotional skills, like how to deal with conflict, sharing, hygiene, routines, and free play through imagination. Miss Alana's preschool has the perfect set-up for students to let their imaginations soar, inside with their kitchen and toys, and with the many outside structures for students to run around, play on, and pretend they are on a plane to Argentina with. My daughter especially liked the garden that students helped with and being able to play in the sprinklers in the summer time. They consistently highlight the strengths of their students and work with them on their less strong skills. Miss Alana and Mr. Mel go out of their way to make the preschool experience special and meaningful for every child. They put on a holiday program every year, an annual Easter Egg hunt, and a summer BBQ and Graduation Ceremony for students who will be entering Kindergarten. Weekly emails are sent out that outlines what students will be learning and the activities they will accomplish. Pictures are routinely sent through text, and updates on your child if you request are sent throughout the day. Miss Alana also sets up conferences with families that documents progress from the beginning to the end of the year. Having this data available before our oldest went into Kindergarten was extremely valuable, as we were able to share this information with her new teacher. Miss Alana noticed strategies and behaviors in our daughter that we did not see, and could have held her back. We managed to overcome these in Kindergarten and our daughter was more than prepared to be successful. In fact, three of our daughter's classmates from Miss Alana's ended up in the same Kindergarten class and all four of them are doing extremely well, academically and socially. Miss Alana and Mr. Mel are now teaching our second daughter, as well as our nephew, in their first year of preschool, and we are continually impressed with everything this school accomplishes. When it comes time for our son to enter preschool, he will be attending as well. They go beyond being teachers and have become a part of our family.

And AI is a threat to the intelligence of children. This will be our first year at the Wadorf School of Bend. We attended two other Waldorfs previously.

Your child will get one on one attention and the best holistic education possible. They are offering 50% off for middle school right now and it's a great time to get in. We tried public school for middle school and regret it. Our son is looking forward to going back to Waldorf! The tuition may seem expensive, but they do have financial assistance.
