Well I am very thankful that this institution exists and you can go there and ask for assistance…read morewith important things while you are transitioning looking for work or going to school I have had two caseworkers at Ninestar now and can I just ask to treat some people with dignity and not talk to them with sarcasm I'm sure that there are people that try to abuse the system but I am not and I just want to be spoken to like a normal human being I don't need the sarcasm I hate having to ask for assistance especially because of the ways that one is spoken to it is not dignifying and I cannot wait to be out of school to have a job with good income and not ever need assistance again I hope that never in my life I need assistance again and if you're working with Ninestar I would highly recommend to have all your documents in order and to provide the papers not on the day when you are supposed to provide them but either the same day, the day before, or the day after they request you to bring the stuff in! because it does take them a while to get back with that. you stop in to send emails to leave messages it still takes them a while probably because they are working on a lot of people, given, and they have a high volume of clients but if you don't have time for that then I suggest that you stay on top of them and that you turn in everything sooner way sooner than they wanted and you keep track of everything then maybe things will be done on time from their end and you will receive in time what you need perhaps and of course let's not forget to be thankful that that institution is there at all!! I wanted to give only two stars but I am so thankful for the help and that is why am giving three stars but the way I'm being spoken to I do not appreciate it at all at all at all!

We were lucky to get our son enrolled at Starbright South 9 months before Kindergarten was starting…read moreand we had nothing but the best experience with this preschool. Jen, the owner, has always been wonderfully upbeat and communicative. You can tell she has a passion for preschool aged kids and excelling their education while also providing a fun and clean atmosphere. The preschool always felt very well organized and sanitary. We loved all the teachers - Marques, Jen, Hannah, Kara, Liz....everyone seems to want to be there and help your kiddo through the process. It was a very friendly space and we never felt we couldn't communicate a thought or concern or even just share a joke about how our kid was bouncing off the walls that day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this preschool to any of my friends or colleagues. Shortly after my son graduated and had his first day of kindergarten, both Jen and Marques reached out to me to find out how he'd done in the transition. They also encouraged a pop in visit down the road. You can tell they really are invested in the children there.

There are many highlights and advantages to PNA. The downside is there seems to be a lack of communication and transparency. Each teacher seems to set their own curriculum and classroom standards. Academics could be more challenging. No hot lunch except for pizza Monday's. Tuition is one of, if not the highest in anchorage. Overall is suits our needs as we are only here two years but we will definitely add some tutoring this summer to make sure our kids don't fall behind the lower 48's standards.

We've brought our 2 kids to Starbright for a couple of years now from ages 2 through 5. Do not let…read morethe neighborhood mislead you.. this place is excellent. Experienced teachers that build relationships with your kids and as parent I get a ton out of chatting with teachers at pick-up. Not ONCE have we had a weird/bad experience. There are many folks here that have been a very positive/constructive influence for our kids over the years and I wouldn't limit the 5 stars to one particular classroom or teacher. Starbright also strives to stay open even when ASD closes for remote learning days which is super helpful with little ones. We are extremely happy that we decided to enroll our eldest in Missy's kindergarten class here. She is one of those rare teachers folks use in those password hints "what was name of your favorite teacher in your whole life?" Also Starbright is recently under new ownership and after experiencing both the old and the new, I can say they haven't lost a beat. The new owner/director (also) Missy is awesome. Bring your kids to Starbright and upgrade your life.

In the past he tried attending other…read moreschools but problems with the education always crept up: either too low/simple level of education, or the classroom teacher had difficulties managing the class, or the coursework failed to keep my son engaged.

You should definitely check out Faith Lutheran School if you want your child to experience excellent instruction in a caring and loving environment!
