When I first started to look for preschools in Langford I was disappointed to find that there weren't many options, most places I found were day cares trying to pass themselves off as a preschool. Pussywillow is not a daycare, the curriculum is strictly that of a school and the staff have targets and objectives (along with lots of fun, play, and free time) for the children to strive to so that that are well prepared for Kindergarden. I've ven spoken to Kindergarden teachers who can tell if they child went to Pussywillow simply by how they are doing not only academically but also emotionally as well. I would recommend this preschool to anyone, the staff are warm and welcoming and genuinely care about each child that goes there.

True play based learning (which is sadly rare) throughout every day. Tree houses, sand pits, mud pies, dolls, books, cozy nooks, rope climbing, sewing, carrot peeling, daisy chains...all the best parts of the old days. As a child development specialist, my heart grows every time I observe teachers interacting with students. They are "gardeners, not carpenters". Love, empathy, curiosity, and firm boundaries all shine here. They are as engaged with social emotional teaching as they are "academic" skills. The world would be a better place if every child experienced this kind of early education.

In being new to the area, my wife and I really appreciate the openness of the school, the innovation in the working garden, natural surroundings/playground, and classroom activities. For us as parents, we've met quite a lot of really interesting people with similar interests. For us as a family, we feel that Burlington Little School is a great fit for us.

Due to the fact that child care and preschools are hard to come by in this military town, we were…read morereferred to the SVC ECEAP preschool. It is a state-funded preschool that is free for families who qualify. Preschool is Tuesday-Friday and there is a morning class(8:30am-11:30am) and afternoon class(12:15pm-3:15pm). Although there are no classes on Mondays, the office is still open. Since this preschool is put on by Skagit Valley College, parents can actually earn elective credits every semester just by having their children attend the school! They do tours of the college so you can see what it's all about. Even though I am not currently taking other classes at SVC, I love the fact that I can still utilize their services being that I'm enrolled by having my son attend the preschool. There are a lot of great other resources for parents to help support their children whether it be educational, emotional, financial, etc. There is a parent council for those who want to get more involved and they have frequent luncheons so you can meet and socialize with other parents. Towards the end of the year, kids who will be going to Kindergarten will get to go on a school bus and get a sneak peak at a real grade school class room. This is an absolutely wonderful preschool with amazing teachers and staff! My sons teachers were Miss Patricia, Miss Jill, and Miss Sonni. They are all very attentive to each of the children and you can see how passionate they are as teachers. I really appreciate all that they do and we will miss them terribly!

I have two children that attend this facility. One 6 years old and the other 4 years old. They both…read morehave been attending "Children of the Island" since the facility opened at its current location. We found this great child care center after being taken for a ride by another licensed daycare that took our deposit and then left the province. We were a little hesitant after that but once we talked to the owners we decided to try them out. One of the things that intrigued us was the fact that the staff was mostly going to consist of care givers with their ECE's. It gave us comfort knowing that our children were going to be given a good start in preparing them for school. I had a parent who ran an in house licensed daycare and was blown away by what Children of the Island was willing to offer for the fees they were charging. I have personally seen what it takes to care for a group of little people and as each one has their own personality and individual needs it takes the right kind of person. After a couple years the experience has been as promised and then some. They not only met the promised offerings when we first signed on but also added to it. My children have had swimming lessons at JDF, Martial Tots through Crusher Combat Sports, gone to movies, visited the beacon hill petting zoo, gone to Gaileys farm and done excursions to tons of other locations. We also take advantage of the free tutoring for our grade school son and with all of these offerings there has never been a request for extra money to pay for the added activities. Our preschool aged son goes to Children of the Island 5 days a week and we never have to worry about packing snacks or meals. As a matter, of fact we could not make the caliber of meals our son is offered on a daily basis and he has a food sensitivity to dairy. Children of the Island asked nothing more than for us to provide alternative dairy products to their fantastic on staff chef's and they make sure he gets great lunch's and snacks. He eats it up and most days his primary care giver says he goes back for more which is surprising because sometimes it's for food he won't eat at home. This is why we are happy to bring his optional foods. With a facility the size they are running it's understandable that they wanted us to give them the food to prepare. I am sure there are other children with allergies and we didn't want to put them at risk. We are glad they are able to serve up the same meals the rest of the kids are eating as a facility this size couldn't be expected to provide a special meal daily. We are two full time working parents who take great pride in accepting responsibility for who our children will grow up to be both developmentally and socially. We know that not every child could thrive in a large daycare setting like this one but we are extremely grateful that this facility is available to our children for their formative years. .
