We loved the staff, curriculum, and that our son always came home with something he had learned or created that day with a daily sheet of activities, food, etc. Each room has at least 1 long term staff member with a few that come and go being that it's a large military community which is expected. The director Renee is great as well with communication, dedication to the program, and I always saw her helping out all levels when I randomly stopped by or at pick ups. Even though my son has now started Kindergarten he frequently asks to visit his previous teachers. I'm so happy our son was able to attend M&M!

She helped me with all the paperwork to start my daughter's care (military family with childcare assistance). And my emails were always addressed promptly and all the staff were so approachable. The caregivers in the infant room were so caring and fun. I loved that Ms. Simone always talked constantly to the babies. My daughter was very attached to Ms. Ellen. We were only there for 6 months due to a move. We miss this Martha and Mary and all the staff though!

While much effort has been put into developing education programs against bullying in schools and…read morein our community , most of these programs only address bullying among students and youths. In contrast, very little attention is given to the possibility that the bully is a teacher or adult. One such teacher exists at this school. RS. Positive inclusive attitudes are a key factor in achieving an inclusive education. This teacher, unfortunately, displays none of the attributes required as a professional educator to help the most vulnerable and at risk youth in our community.

Paying out of pocket for school. Was told by Olympic College Records and Registration employee that…read moreI have to pay for parking. According to Security staff at Olympic College, I did not have to pay for parking. Parking is free in the summer. I was charged anyway for parking by the cashier while paying out of pocket for my classes. The Accuplacer Placement Exam is to see if I should take a certain Math course for Medical Assisting. The office where you could ask questions about the exam, closed at 1130am the day I was told to sign up for the test. I went online to sign up for the test and found out the fee was 25 dollars. Another out of pocket expense. Since the office was closed that handles the exam was closed: i put my credit card in the system and paid the 25 dollars. Unbeknownst to me, and because the office was closed, I did not know that the 25 dollars was not refundable. When I checked my calendar at home, I found out I had doctor appointments when the exam was to be taken. I immediately called the testing center at Olympic College to try and get a refund. No one answered the phone and of course no one was in the office. On the website for the 25-dollar Accuplacer test , there was not a warning that I would not get a refund if I canceled the test. The warning came after you had given the 25 dollar payment. I was shocked that an institution would not warn students beforehand. Becoming a Medical Assistant was my next goal after CNA program. When I talked to an employee who helped run the program, she told me that my previous courses taken at Olympic College would carry over to getting me a Medical Assistant certificate. When I met with the supervisor who was in charge of the program, her response took a negative tone. The supervisor told me that I would have to pay for all the classes over again. Being suspicious of her antics, I emailed the Dean of Olympic College. I got no response from the Dean. To me, this seems like a money grab. I am paying for my own college classes. I should not be paying to take the same classes over. Olympic College should ask the lawmakers to give them more money to stay open. Do not depend on students paying (out of pocket).

You can't say anything without offending someone of no pronouns, no gender, etc. etc. How are we…read moresupposed to grow as individuals if we're just offended all time. A lot of the classes are too long and should be split. Most of the classes I attended were people talking over the teacher asking questions that didn't pertain to most people.

I love this school so much. Between entering preschool and now (5th grade), my son has attended…read morefour elementary schools. This one is, by far, my favorite--he has been seen, included, & loved from day 1. He enrolled as a McKinney-Vento student last year while we were blessed enough to figure out a temporary housing situation. His school has a rating of 2/10 on the main school review websites. It is a Title I school with majority low income families, 78% of students being non-white, and almost 20% of students having IEPs or 504 plans. All students qualify for free/reduced lunch & are sent home on Fridays with a packed bag of weekend meals. The curriculum and day-to-day has been full of color, curiosity, and neurodivergent-friendly practices. He hasn't encountered any weirdness around having queer parents at this school & this is the first place we haven't had to educate his educators on alternatives to addressing parent labels, family tree assignments, father's day art, and the like. They talk about consent and non-violence and mutual respect and pronouns and gender diversity and make space for cultural celebration. Just a friendly reminder that school ratings systems are racist, classist, & ableist. Grateful for the universe leading us exactly where we needed to be & grateful for the educators who show up despite the limited tools they have to work with and make. it. happen. Extra special shout outs to Mr. Hakeem & Ms. Turner.
