The teachers are warm, attentive, and deeply understanding--they made both of my kids feel seen, safe, and loved every single day. The curriculum is thoughtful and well-balanced, blending play-based learning with foundational academic skills in a way that kept my children both engaged and challenged. I was always impressed by the healthy meals they provided, as well as the wide range of activities designed to nurture emotional, social, and intellectual growth. The play spaces are spotless and thoughtfully designed, and the fenced outdoor area is full of creative, fun structures that encouraged exploration and movement. Most importantly, my children loved going to school. They came home happy, enriched, and more than ready for kindergarten--confident, curious, and well-prepared. Happy Face Preschool provided a level of care, education, and heart that went above and beyond anything I ever hoped for. I'm so grateful to the entire staff for the lasting impact they've had on our family.

My son still loves her and talks about her. The price was more than reasonable, and the vacations were workable. I especially appreciated the independent skills and support she and her team offered my kid - she helped him learn to walk, potty train, go to the bathroom by himself, and really critically, learn to be kind and caring to other kids. We will forever be grateful to her for her wonderful support in raising our sweet boy.

Miss Lisa is an expert in crafting a good balance of age appropriate curriculum, fun, structure, and learning. By the time she was in kindergarten this year, Our daughter could easily count to 50, knew all her alphabet, could write her full name, was already introduced to basic math concepts, and had adjusted to a solid learning routine in a classroom environment. Every single day we dropped her off at La Petite, we knew she would be happy, safe, and loved. There's nothing more we could ask for from a private daycare. Our daughter never had a bad day at LPP, and thats not an exaggeration! She looked forward to going to school every morning and was always happy when we picked her up. Even if the day wasn't perfect, the staff navigates each child's needs by meeting them on their level and making each one feel cared for in the moment. The entire staff/teachers are loving and communicative. LPP is a huge part of us having the ability to provide a magical and safe childhood for our daughter in these precious early years. We are ever so grateful we got to be a part of the LPP family.

I have updated my review from a 2 star to a 4 star after talking with the owner Tiffany. Original…read morereview below. I absolutely adore the teachers at good life. They are very patient and kind. They helped my son build a lot of confidence and autonomy. He always come home with a smile for the most part. When we first started the first month of drop off was hard but they help him feel safe and secure. If you are like me, a worrier, I would caution you against enrolling in the Newberg location downtown. Tiffany has two location one in Dundee and one in Newberg. I wanted to enroll in the Dundee location but it was full. I am not comfortable at all with the traffic of the homeless population going threw there. If this doesn't bother you then disregard. If I could I would give the good Life a 5 star and the Chehalem center a negative 100. Original review 2 star review "The teacher are amazing. That have really helped my son blossom. The reason for the low review it due to their Newberg location at the Chehalem Culture Center. Most mornings you will encounter homeless people treating the front entrance and park like a hotel. When raising concerns with the Director of the Chehalem center I was ignored. Tiffany the owner of the business reach out to me, but still nothing has changed. I even reach out to the police serval time but the Chehalem center refused to have the individual trespass so their hands are tie, all they can do is ask them to leave."

Our three sons attend Abiqua Academy and it has been the best academic experience we've ever…read moreencountered. I don't say this lightly - we have five children who have attended schools all over the country and in India and Abu Dhabi. I think what Abiqua gets right is the balance between a rigorous academic program and a holistic approach to understanding and nurturing the whole child. Whether your child is on the gifted end of the spectrum, somewhere in the middle, or needing additional support - the teachers have proven time and again they will "meet your child where he or she is at." It's not just lip service - we have lived this. We have considered moving out of the Salem area several times and two factors keep us here, one of which is the extraordinary education our children are receiving at Abiqua. I wish every single school in Salem provided the same experience - all children deserve this kind of education.
