I wanted to update my previous review (see the looooooooooong one below about how well this worked…read morefor my two developmentally delayed toddlers). My children are in elementary school now, and I continue to see my decision to place my kids at Knowledge House to be an excellent one. My kids started kindergarten academically ahead of their peers, and having already developed the social skills necessary for elementary school. They could work well with others, treat each other and adults with respect, and solve problems peacefully. I see the influence of their education at Knowledge House sneaking out in all sorts of positive ways: they shake hands with people and are confident when sharing their ideas, they include others in their play and notice when someone is left out, they love to explore and learn new things, and they use many different ways to solve problems. To add to all of that, despite the fact that many of their former classmates at Knowledge House attend different elementary schools, the kids still play together at playdates and we still talk with our former Knowledge House families. Mark and Valerie make this preschool a place for children to grow and learn at their own pace, and where children develop a sense of community and self-confidence.

The college is not the sort of place students get sentimental about, but if you can't get into any…read moreschool of your choice, you could do worse than Olympic. But all I want to review here is the Fireside Bistro. It's a wonderful hidden cafe on campus, with fireplace and extra special Friday feasts. Breakfast is only from 8 to 10 am, and offerings range from basic to oh my isn't that fancy. Menu changes to lunch at 10 with a whole different array of choices. You gotta get there before 1 pm as they do close early. The quality has varied from year to year. Previously it was one of the best little restaurants in Bremerton, a real dream to take out-of-towners to. It's not THAT good presently but it's still pretty darned good. The menu is in continuous flux and sometimes what they have is superduper. It was also dirt cheap in the past, priced so even students could afford it. But nowadays both the Bistro, and the basic cafeteria, are tragically expensive. I presume some funding got cut, and hungry kids and teachers had to pick up the slack. I would not generally recommend the cafeteria though the hot-table isn't notorious cafeteria food; the culinary students do try to design interesting daily menus, but it still has to work on a hot-table, and it can be too limited, and they forget about the vegetarians on campus too often. The Bistro, though, is worth checking the on-line menu (at the Olympic College website) and if it sounds good then it will be good, and worth a trip over there even if you're not a student.

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).

If you want an old-timey conservative education, I hear that there's a program in the U-District for you. If you are passionate about making the world a better place after earning an MBA, then BGI is really worth considering. The coursework is very challenging, relevant, and rewarding. One glaring flaw, however: for an institution founded upon the principles of sustainability, progressivity, and diversity, the menu-planning for the monthly weekend retreats on Bainbridge are a joke if you don't eat meat: $80 a day for a meager ration of oats and fruit and salads? Who's not smelling the shade-grown, fair-trade organic coffee that's brewing? If you find out, please let me know.
