Schools in Vancouver, WA

“All three of my children have gone to Goddard and this has been the best decision our family has made. My two children who are in elementary school were completely prepared emotionally and academically to enter into Kindergarten and I know I have the kind and experienced teachers and staff at Goddard to thank. At one point we tried out another pre-school and returned back to Goddard. My third child is blossoming at Goddard and I know he's being nurtured and challenged in his classroom. He goes 3 days a week and is asking to go 'everyday'. I never thought I would hear that. It's reassuring to see the same teachers year after year after year.”

“We recently enrolled this Fall and have really enjoyed our experience with Kiddie Academy, but again it’s the teachers of our son’s toddler class that have made the experience so pleasurable. We truly feel good about the value we are getting, and that when we are dropping off one of the most precious things in this world to us, he is in GREAT hands.This facility was built specifically FOR Kiddie Academy and it is always kept clean and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.The only “bad” thing is because of its high quality, there is a waitlist. I think we were on the waitlist for almost a year? I believe it’s been worth the wait however!”

“My daughter has THRIVED here! The staff and teachers (ms. Laurie and ms. Ainne is ours) are literal angels. We are on our second school year here and my daughter still wakes up on school days so excited to go!”

“I've had a positive experience with the academy from day one. From their kind and prepared teachers/staff, professional administration, and diversified classrooms, I'd recommend KA to any parent looking to find childcare or preschool for their little ones. My child looks forward to attending everyday speaking of excitement to classroom learnings and friends they have made. Many things including behavior, vocabulary, potty habits to name a few have, improved with my child.”

“Very pleased with the staff and teachers. They devote a lot of attention and care to the kids and it shows. My son is attached to his teachers and it makes me happy he has a great community to grow up In.”

“I absolutely loved my daughters K teacher Sawtelle. My daughter transferred over from another elem which was also a great school & I was rather afraid she wouldn't have the same experience as her first half of the year but it turned out wonderful! Such patience and kindness, as well as being on top of what needed to get done for each child. My daughter got the attention she needed for speech therapy a lot faster here! I appreciate their dedication! I spent as much time volunteering in order to return the favor, I can't express my appreciation enough. Thank you Crestline!”

“Our daughter has been attending Fishers Landing KinderCare for a little over a year and a half so has moved through several different age group classrooms. From the start we've been so pleased with the care she is provided as well as the structure and curriculum - and of course the teachers! She often tells me her teacher is her best friend :) It's so nice that she looks forward to going each morning and is happy and smiling when we pick her up. Of course its hard to be away from your little one but knowing she's in great hands has been such a blessing. We appreciate everyone there so much!”

“We’ve had a great experience for our preschooler and preschooler-turned-kinder. They’re super involved with the kids, and when you run into kid conflict (which is inevitable), they’re great about turning that into teaching moments. Highly recommend!”

“We were truly blessed to find Grace Lutheran childcare when we did. Our youngest was cared for in the "littlest" room from the time she was almost 2 until she turned 2.5. The director is scrupulous in ensuring that teachers have various themed lesson plans for all children. The classroom is engaging and interactive and our daughter came home all the time having learned new songs, dances, games and letters. They partnered with us on potty training early on and were a major part of our daughter's success.Our K-age daughter also came to GL for a summer and LOVED her time here. She played games, did art, learned more about God, and made great friends.I truly believe we had the best early-learning experience here and were so grateful for all of the lovely, consistent, kind and loving teachers we came across. Grace Lutheran is wonderful!”

“This place is too good to keep secret! Professional in every way from greeting and treatment plan, to sheet use and appropriate touch, to review of treatment and feedback opportunities. Impressive massages that get to the core of the issue...and for a great price! What a great school!”

“Cascadia Montessori truly meets children where they are, fostering creativity and the love of learning. My first grade child has had the freedom to explore her interests while at the same time taking responsibility for her own education. (!!) An abundance of small group lessons and work take place. She's created and performed plays, written and performed music with classmates and taken trips to the public library during school to research. Montessori also has a way of introducing advanced math lessons so children understand the reasoning behind it. Questions are welcomed and highly encouraged! All the students I've interacted with are independent, precocious and most of all love going to school. The mixed aged classrooms are an incredible experience for all involved. There is so much each child can learn from one another and they stay with the same teachers for three years, creating a true understanding and bond. My child calls her class her second family. We couldn't imagine a better learning environment if we tried!”

“My daughter started going there due to an urgent need over the holidays last January. She loved them so much that we transitioned her full-time until she started kindergarten. I enjoyed the whole team. The director is approachable, ready to help, and kind, and the teachers from pre-k and school age groups are phenomenal. A huge shout out to Miss Kimberly, Miss Haley Miss Jessica, and many others. I felt every day my daughter was with people that cared for her and kept her safe. They remain my backup care and I wish she could stay there after school but is out of our area.”

“Jack and Jill is the best day care that my children have had❤❤, I am super grateful ?to all of them, they are very reliable people and above all they care about the care of your children, they are loving, kind and responsible people ? I would sincerely recommend this day care 100%. Children will like it and you will be calm knowing that your children are in good hands.We will miss you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤”

“Working here I've experienced very kind directors and dedicated employees. There's always fun activities going on for students to enjoy. The infant room is ran very well, there's a close eye on all the babies, parents are always communicated with, the app and schedule is always kept up to date, and the room is always kept clean and sanitized. I can tell every class is important to the directors as they often check in several times daily to see how things are going. I appreciate the dedication from everyone and family values especially after other learning centers have made me doubt my trust in childcare. Kindercare definitely has built my trust in childcare again. Cascade Park Kindercare is a wonderful environment for your children. They'll have lots of fun, eat great food, and make good friends.”

“My child has been thriving since they began school at the Gardner School. They allowing learning through play, and truly listening to the interests of their students. Critical thinking, problem solving skills, kindness, and celebration of being an individual are all encouraged daily in the classroom there. They are helping my child develop in a positive, encouraging, and healthy way. The staff is kind, communicative, and sincere in their approach. I would highly recommend the Gardner School.”

“Excellent place. They have so many fun things to do to help your child build their strengths however they need. It's very comfortable here and all the staff we encountered was so nice. I definitely recommend here for your child's needs.”

“If it were not for our cross-country move, we would not be leaving Noah’s Ark. Karen and her team (Terri, Sammy, Cierra…) are amazing. My toddler has only been here for a few short months, but loves going to school everyday and asks about his friends even after coming home from school.Communication and cleanliness is extremely important to us, especially when my child (who has a nut allergy) is being cared for by others and there was no shortage of communication with Karen and her team. The kind disposition and safe environment that Noah’s Ark has built is unmatched! Center-based with a small in-home feel.If you are looking for a childcare/preschool for your littles, I highly, highly recommend Noah’s Ark, hands down!! We will miss Karen and her team and only hope to find something just as good.”

“Together, my kids have spent a total of 3 years enrolled at KB. I have a 7 month old who is enrolled and attends daily. They have the best infant teachers I’ve ever known. They truly care for my baby as if she was their own. I also have a 6 year old who is enrolled in the school age program. It was filled with tons of fun this summer, and insane amounts of curriculum! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Management has assessed every issue that had arose (not many) with such grace and love. I’d for sure recommend ❤️”

“My little girl started in July of last year. She has loved it here! The staff is so professional and care for my daughter and the other children in such an exceptional way! I would recommend this daycare/preschool to any parent in the Vancouver area! They actually have a curriculum that they follow! My child learns a different letter every week and they have so many fun events/special touches! Thank you so much for your care!!”

“An excellent daycare. Always clean. Kids are always learning and having fun. The school does a lot of cool things for the kids. Love the app! They post pictures and videos of your kids and updates throughout the day, every day. You can message them through the app and they answer quickly.”

“My son got so much from the teachers and his experience, came from a different school in Evergreen and what a difference the staff and teachers made on my son and our family! Highly recommend it!!”

“Lincoln Elementary School is a wonderful place for young learners. The dedicated teachers and staff create a nurturing environment where students thrive. The school's focus on both academics and character development is impressive. It's a great choice for families seeking a quality elementary education.”

“Our daughter has been going here since this school year started, she's in the 2.5 program and she ABSOLUTELY loves it! This school has been wonderful; the staff is so kind and warm, and they genuinely care about children. We could not be happier that this has been our daughter's first preschool experience. She is ecstatic to go to school every day and I never worry about here while she's there because their communication app makes it so easy to shoot a quick message to her teacher or the director. And I LOVE that on Fridays they will upload pics from the week on the app so we can see what our daughter has been doing and who she has been playing with. I highly recommend!”

“Great School. The Vancouver School District has housed the Mandarin Chinese immersion program here and about 2/3 of the student body make up that program. Because of immersion program, parents from all over the school district drive their students here, making for very busy drop-off and pick-up times at a school located deep in a neighborhood. In addition to the usual primary school activities, the teachers, administration, and parents support the students in the immersion program with a variety of events centered around Chinese culture. By the end of 5th grade, the immersion students will basically be fluent in speaking Mandarin. I do not know how the non-immersion students fare here and it would be a reasonable question to ask if you plan to send your child here. I do know that each grade contains three classes, two of which are Mandarin and one of which is English, meaning the kids and families in the non-Mandarin classes would stay together throughout their experience here. Good or bad? Probably both.”

“This place is amazing my daughter has been going here since she was a about 2 years old we have never had any issues and the staff is very pleasant! I trust them with my child and they always have the best interest in my mind for each child that attends.”

“This review is LONG overdue. I haven’t been able to type this without tears in my eyes. The staff here at Orchards Kindercare were truly the best. The most heartbreaking part of loving states was taking our son out of the care of this amazing facility. Moving away from family made us depend on OK to help take care of our son while we worked. Just knowing your child is safe, well taken care of, and is somewhere that they actually love being is amazing. My son has severe asthma and the staff was able to care and treat him as needed. If I could’ve taken the facility and all it’s staff with me I would have. If life ever brings me back to Washington with a little one I’d definitely return here! Love and miss all the staff!”

“Great gym! Very spacious and clean, staff is friendly. We’ve been at Naydonovs for a couple years now in Irina’s class, my girls love her. She’s an amazing coach. She goes above and beyond caring for her students progress. I’ve recommended her classes to many friends.”

“Our son goes to Cornerstone, and we absolutely love it. The teachers are nice and we see a huge progress in his development since he started. He currently attends part time daycare. Unfortunately they will no longer offer part time option for daycare, and we are not sure if we will stay for full time:( , we are deeply saddened”

“Kindercare has been so good to my son. He loves his teachers, they do activities with him every day and take really great care of him. He comes home happy and seems really content. I'm so happy I chose Kindercare for my sweet boy. Being a single mom and having to put him in daycare was tough but Kindercare has been amazing to us. I would choose them over any daycare.”

“Some reviews are trolling here, I don't get what's so bad about the school. Anyways, I went to a field trip here today to see the Mary Poppins play, it was cool and they were incredible and very good at acting.”
