Deb is an energetic and creative teacher who engages the kids in all manner of activities. Not only does she create learning units and lesson plans, but she regularly provides the kids with play time outside all year round--a necessity for my outdoor-loving child. My daughter begins kindergarten this fall, and she has said on more than one occasion that she "doesn't want to move on from Deb's." It has been a very positive experience for us having her at Brighter Beginnings, and we're thankful to have found such a safe, warm place for her to spend her pre-K days. I can highly recommend this business!

I couldn't recommend this school enough- not only did my child grow his social skills & emotional…read morereasoning, he was encouraged to develop at his own pace and became an avid reader by age 4. Kelsey is sensitive & conscious, and makes sure to include diverse curriculum and conversations (age appropriate of course) about cultural, physical, and socio-economical differences. She trusts the natural intuition of kids, and embraces their curiosity- even when getting into the "tough" territory. I always had complete faith in her to answer my precocious kid's surprise questions, that at times have caught me off guard, and we as a family learned many lessons from Kelsey's cool, calm, and kind way of approaching the world. My son is now almost 8 years old, and he consistently looks back at this time with Kelsey as some of his favorite memories.

The environment she has created fosters curiosity, creativity, imagination, problem-solving, engineering, and overall confidence building. Additionally, she connects with other educators for supplemental opportunities such as yoga and music. Teacher Kelsey invests in continued education and training, as well as a variety of certifications for the school. Our family was enrolled for two years with Little Stompers and feel deeply grateful to have found such a wonderful school and teacher!

I recently contacted the Pastor of this church to see since my parents are deceased now if they…read morewere going to rebuild the fences in the back of the five houses that were adjusted due to the tower. Since my parents house is up for sale he said the agreement was he would only pay half. Mind you the church got a huge sum of money for installing that tower they remodeled the whole parking lot as all well as rebuilt the structure of the building. When I explained to him that when I did come to visit the people he has living in back of these homes reeve their engines, have bonfires, and are rather loud and these things go on in the late hours. I went on to state the tower killed all my parents plants, grass, and even effected my moms computerized Defibrillator which ultimately made her pass away. His response so your mom never owned a Cell Phone or Microwave?! I was appalled by this pastors behavior. He also went on to mock they mesh protectant that the home owners put on their home because they now know the danger of cell towers as well as the smart meters. This conversation was turned over to the local news channel where they will in return investigate the claims that numerous people in the Santa Clara Neighborhood group have made as well as the ongoing petition that is on Change.org. If you go to this church I pray that you are serving and praying to a god and not this disgusting greedy pastors version of god! A pastor of all people don't make fun of someone's pain and suffering! Maybe this explains why their is only 8 cars in the driveway on Sunday's!!!

It's hard to leave your little one in the hands of someone but I promise you this is a very safe place. I highly recommend this preschool for your potty trained 3-6.5 year old.

EPCP was a great choice for our family. I was looking for more than childcare for my child; I…read morewanted a place where I could pop in or stay all day, and be part of his first introduction to school. And I wanted a community we could feel connected to. EPCP is all that. Parents work in the classroom as parent-teachers, so you have to be aware that not everyone will parent-teach the way you would. That can be challenging. The reward is seeing your child bloom among others, first-hand. The school has been in place for more than 50 years and the teacher for the two-year-olds has been teaching for more than 25. The older class (three- and four-year-olds) has had some fluctuation over the past year; our beloved teacher moved away and proved difficult to replace, but after some trial and error, a fresh and enthusiastic teacher seems to be fitting the bill. Though our family is moving on this year, I believe the community will thrive in the years to come. Tuition is low. The community is incredibly supportive. The school partners with local UO-based EC Cares to provide evaluations and assistance to kids who need a little extra attention. No school is perfect (hence four stars, rather than five) but EPCP is pretty awesome. Experience will vary based on your participation level, and that of the other families. We're going to miss EPCP for sure!
