We came to class for mini gymies and was told I needed to call and reserve a spot for the class. NO WHERE on their website informs ANYONE about calling for returning students to continue with the class. I was not notified about having to call in and neither front desk nor the owner gave me my money back. I have been waitlisted and still have not been called to this day. The only way I'd be back is to receive a refund and use it for the North Coast Academy business across the street.

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.

Loving Space is everything we dreamed of for a preschool and kindergarten for our son. The teachers…read moreunderstand children and child development and provide the most magical, play-full, supportive, and loving atmosphere. As soon as our son started as a three year old, we noticed that his play became deeper and richer. As a five year old in kindy, his understanding of himself, compassion for others, and academic skills also grew by leaps and bounds. We are grateful for our time and LS and our only regret is that is doesn't go through 12th grade!

This has been my sons school since April of 2016. Gin, the owner, has so much love for her kids…read more She is extremely passionate about teaching and really helps the kids grow academically and emotionally. The negative review below-about a child being touched, and about Vegas is bogus. It appears someone was angry with her or trying to sabotage her business. Gin is extremely professional and courteous to parents and to all children. I cannot say enough amazing things about Gin and her school. The experience my son has had is priceless. Gin has been in business for over 40 years and she is well respected in the community. We love the Gingerbread House and all the staff.

At first I felt my kids were safe at this daycare, then I must say that a little boy was touching…read moremy daughter breast and the owner did not tell me about it. i had to hear of it from two employee, who asked me not to tell tell the owner because she "was told not to tell me because the owner did not want to lose her license". Also, the owner took a vacation to las Vegas and canceled school in one weeks notice. The owner said to me over the phone that she had a death in the family and that was why she was closed. An employee later said she lied to me and decided to extend her vacation an extra day. You cannot trust the owner. I have also heard from the employee that the owner is money hungry and will lie to anyone who threatens her business. I was aslo told from the employee that the owner consistantly soad bad things about many of the families who went there. Do not trust this daycare with your children. She is in it for the money. A god fearing woman does not take a vacation to sin city and lie to patron's about a death in the family. As i saod beforee, we were also told stories about the owner saying nasty stuff about several customers that pay money to this business. I have way more to say about this shady place but I am so over it I do not want to waste my time. She is also closed more than the schools so you will always be scurrying for baby sitting. Do not trust this place with your family.

First time visit to this University on Sunday, 6/22/25. Arrived at 11:00 AM. There were a few…read moreBasketball Camps going on at the Wade King Rec Center. We got to tour the fitness center, gymnasium and pool area. Then took a leisurely walk around the campus to see the different buildings - Fine Arts building, the Library, Residence Halls, Science Building, and the Viking Union. All were closed since it was a Sunday, but still enjoyed walking around to see the layout and creative structures and different building locations. The natural environment with views of the Cascades and hills full of trees across the ocean was very calming and peaceful.

CAUTION: Don't come here…read more This university changed a lot, seemingly for the worse. If something goes wrong, watch out for the caring front some professors put up. I fell for it and it costed me. I truly believed that when another student told my professor that I felt suicidal, that I would be helped. Instead my tuition was wasted. I was told to enroll in courses that had no site placement. Then when I asked my professor about the shared concern from my classmate regarding how I felt suicidal, she gaslighted me. She forgot that my classmate said I felt suicidal. Mind you, my classmate shared this information without my permission. We had a three hour meeting after class that I can't believe she forgot... I thought I'd be supported but instead I was ignored for the rest of the year due to the courses that did not exist. I was then suddenly removed from my program because I was told I was not ready for my final quarter. I would have been ready if I actually had learned what the missing courses failed to provide due to not existing at all. All of my classmates noticed how I was treated, but nothing was ever done to help me, because then the school year ended and everyone graduated. The program I was in had high suicide and mental health stats, which I learned after I graduated. In hindsight, the pressures of how challenging the program is was a huge source of stress, which was basically mocked at the front door, during orientation. Do not expect this university to actually care about you as a person. You only seem to matter if you can contribute financially, but otherwise, you're completely on your own. Other things happened too. I'm not sure why there weren't better actions in place. After my sudden program removal, I was actually preyed on by a student who took advantage of me and raped me. And if that wasn't enough insult to injury, I never used my college degree for anything because my credentials were incomplete and all my financial aid ran out, even though I had a full ride, which was all wasted and never reimbursed, when I wasn't provided courses. This was all extremely painful for me to go through and i would argue that I never deserved what happened to me. I hope that this isn't the standard for how this university treats students who feel suicidal. Before my classmate shared anything about suicide, no professors could tell. So I felt exposed and then discarded. This was so brutal and unexpected at the end of college. My life has not been the same since. There are better colleges that won't make you go through what I went through. WWU is a high risk and a gamble in my honest opinion. You don't get a nice college name in the end. Anywhere else is better. I hope this helps.

The did the Cat Camp during the summer and a weekly class this fall. Both were well organized, had interesting projects, and my girls learned a lot. This was apparently the first year of the new owner running the school after taking it over from her mother. We never tried the "before," but under the new ownership, it is great so far! During Covid times they have also made efforts to keep the children safe including distancing in class, mask wearing, and taking temperatures before class.

I recently called Evergreen inquiring about music lessons. The dude on the phone was overtly…read moremansplainy throughout the call which was annoying and then was being pushy about how frequent I should take the lessons after I had said that I wanted to meet once a week. I'm guessing this guy doesn't reflect the personalities of instructors or their quality of teaching but I didn't really feel like having to deal with the dude when there are other high quality music schools in town at the same price/less expensive. Maybe this guy was actually the owner? I have no idea, but it probably wouldn't hurt to let someone else speak to the public!

My son started taking piano lessons here. He has 25-minute weekly lessons. It costs $100 a month…read moreand there's an annual registration fee of $50, which helps them hold recitals, etc. Textbooks are extra but very inexpensive. Because he's still a novice, private lessons are great, and $100 a month is so affordable. Initially, I thought 25 minutes would be too short, but it turned out to be a great length for a 10 year old to focus. My son works with Amelia. She is very positive and great with kids. She's also flexible. My son was sick last week and couldn't come in, but Amelia was willing to schedule a make-up session on a Saturday morning. Conclusions: My son enjoys coming in every week, and I'm happy with our overall experience. I highly recommend Evergreen Music Studios, but you may want to keep in mind a couple of thing. Things to watch out for: They send you invoices online, and you can pay them online as well. If you use a credit card, they will charge you a convenience fee of $5.85. I think it's silly to pay $5.85 for a $100 invoice. Also, they will assess you 10% on late payments, which they do not disclose on their invoices. ****************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my reviews.
