My oldest son went to Metzger Community Preschool last year and my youngest has started this year…read moreand we absolutely love this school. Both my children have thrived and grown so much here. The "play based" style has given them a chance to learn in a fun and safe place. Teacher Paula is a patient, kind and welcoming teacher and the biggest reason for our return. She has taught me, as a parent, so much as well. The class sizes are perfect for the kids to learn to play independently but also get the one on one time they need to grow. Having the older preschool class practice lunch was also such a great prep for Kindergarten. This school is more than we hoped for. It's been a community for our family and I highly recommend it to anyone searching for a preschool.

Creative Hands is a fantastic co-op preschool. We enrolled our son in the Pre-K program, and it has…read morebeen amazing so far! A few highlights: - The program has a great balance of structured and unstructured time - exactly what I would want at this age. - All of the kids are set up for success with lots of visuals and clear routines. - I've observed many teachers in my career. I've had the opportunity to spend time in the Pre-K classroom here as a parent teacher, and the staff here is amazing - some of the best I have ever seen. The Pre-K teacher is so warm, kind, and flexible, but also holds boundaries when needed. I know my child is in good hands here. - This is a very inclusive environment for children with special needs. Accommodations like flexible seating and sensory supports are integrated into the classroom without stigma. - All of the communication has been organized and clear.

Regional Director is fully corporate and clearly focussed on the $$ for profit bottom line. Little understanding of positive behavior supports. Archaic behavior management consequences in place. Low skilled staff. A fancy curriculum is marketed but in reality, not implemented with fidelity. Very little formal preschool learning took place. And shockingly... one of the most expensive sites nearby. We pulled our kids after 4/5 months of waiting for it to improve.

Each room has a theme: kitchen, dress up, wooden play structure, even a pit of beans to play in. We brought our almost one year old to play and she had a blast on the slide and in the play kitchen. For a kids play area, I was shocked by how clean the items are kept, and the toys are well organized. It's only six dollars per kid or five for a crawler. The weekend hours are limited, unfortunately. It would be awesome to have Saturday afternoon open. I'm so glad we were able to spend the morning here! One tip, adults and kids must wear socks, no shoes.

My disabled mother came to live with us 8 years ago and languished in bed all day watching TV. My hair stylist told me about Gentog when it opened (her mother is one of the senior caregivers) and my mom started attending once a week at first. She now goes twice a week and has for almost 5 years. Gentog provides great social interaction, but more than that, she's made lifelong friends with the staff and other participants. Since starting Gentog, my mother's health has improved as well. The social interaction alone is a plus, but they were also helpful in connecting us with other senior services. My mom gained a level of independence once they got her started using the TriMet lift bus system, and she now gets books delivered by mail from the local library. They also provide amazing support for caregivers through educational classes, seminars and support groups. We are moving out of state, and one of the hardest parts of this move is leaving Gentog. We will miss their loving care and support tremendously! I'd trust Gentog to care for any of my family members, babies or adults. They are truly amazing!
