Worst experience ever! I chose this school for the name because my older kids had attended another…read moreGoddard. What a disappointment!! Worst upper management I have ever dealt with. They do NOT care about your kid or their needs, only your $. They never listen to parents, will lie & gaslight you. It's so toxic. They play favorites! But don't you dare call them on it, they get defensive & hostile. They give stale snacks & whatever is on sale which is typically just oranges. They keep the rooms cold to not use $ for heating. Nothing is ever cleaned and your kid will come home sick every week! Not sure how they pass inspections or licensing. Teachers are unhappy, you can see it on their face. Some of the classrooms are like a chaotic zoo. No structure, no discipline. My kid was so happy to leave she made me promise to never take her back. That's how bad it is. Stay away. All the other local schools are 100x better & cheaper!! Wish I could give 0 star. Oh and the owner is absentee. Never ever responds to emails or even knows you or your child. I saw her maybe 3x total in 1.5 years and she never even looked up from her laptop to give a welcoming smile. But once they misplaced my email and she was finally emailing me. Surprise surprise when she wants her $ she will magically become available. Btw they had misplaced my check and were trying to charge me a late fee even though I paid 4 days in advance!!

Especially for Kindergarten. We wanted and needed a full day Kindy and there wasn't one available at our local public school at that time. She was really ready, she was already reading and doing some math. Princess got Mandarin classes,music, sign language, soccer instruction, basketball, handwriting practice, all kinds of exposure to various media... the teachers were mostly fabulous,the playground was good, and we felt it was clean and safe if not a bit stuck up. ( sorry, but true). All in all it was a good experience. She would tell you she liked the Pre-K and kindergarten parts fine, but after first grade they "treated (her) like a baby" and she did not like that part. We didn't bring her back for the summer after 2nd grade, although we could have. We also found out after the fact that some of their snacks were less than desirable. Um, Twinkies? really? But, I have to reiterate, safe and for the most part, very good. She and her friends from Goddard liked one of their teachers so much that they talked him up in First Grade and the First Grade teacher invited him to come to their class and read the class a story and hang out with them. That was pretty special. How often does that happen, really? and the kids STILL talk about him and his visit. Sweet.

I have always had peace of mind dropping my kids off at Tigard Knowledge Beginnings because they are happy to go and come back with all kinds of stories. As full-time working parents, we could not have the careers we have without this amazing facility. And I want to give an extra shout out to Ms. Suha and Ms. Dani who have taken care of both of my babies with such love!! Also, some of the older reviews are horrible and false. I intentionally chose this facility after touring multiple because it was the cleanest and most colorful one. Although childcare is expensive in general, I wish I could give even more money to these wonderful people who take care of the most important thing in my life.

I am updating this review in response to the school owner's public reply…read more Our then 7-year-old child was accepted based on Activate's admissions criteria--the same criteria the school continues to publish today. We did not mistake Activate for a therapeutic school, nor did our child need one. He attends a general education classroom. The owner's response reinforces my original concern. Rather than recognizing overwhelm and dysregulation through the lens of neurodivergence, sensory processing, and nervous system regulation, he characterizes our child as having "behavioral challenges" and publicly suggests that my child required a therapeutic school while discussing our experience alongside children he describes as "violent, destructive, defiant, or runners." This response clearly illustrates the problem I am trying to point out. He pathologizes the neurodivergent children he claims to understand and serve. Our child became dysregulated in an environment that was not working for him. Instead of examining the environment, relationships, or adult response, the child was blamed. Regulation is foundational to learning. A neurodivergent child struggling to regulate in a learning environment does not automatically have a behavioral disorder or require a therapeutic placement. I did not write a review at the time because I did not yet have the language to describe what we had experienced. Now that I do, I believe it is important for families to have this information when considering placing their vulnerable children at this school. Some children can have wonderful experiences at Activate. The experience was traumatizing for our family. Both things can be true. Based on our experience and Greg's responses to my concerns--both when the situation happened and now--families should not expect reflection, accountability, or collaboration when things don't go as planned.

We knew our son needed a change of environment, and at a time when teachers and even friends were turning their backs on us, Activate embraced him. Negative behaviors melted away, and in their place a funny, creative, theatrical, and truly empathetic kid blossomed. This school changed the trajectory of our son's life, and now he confidently embarks on to middle school. "When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower."
