Safari Kid Beaverton is just the perfect place for our two year old son. He started his learning…read morejourney here this year just before he turned two and within few days he adjusted so well that we did not have to worry anymore. This is because of the very friendly and caring staff/teachers. They make even the parents comfortable right from day one with constant updates about the kid's activities with pictures, notes about the meal times and by promptly responding to any questions/concerns at any point of the day. The school follows just the right curriculum what we need for all ages. At these covid times, they follow the best practices, hygiene and precautions that we expected. With bright ambience in the classrooms, huge play areas and extremely caring teachers, this school just proves to be a second home for our son and his second happy place!! Very thankful to Nancy, Vinisha, Cynthia and all the teachers for making this possible. I highly recommend this school for all early learners!

Our twin boys started at Safari Kid at age three. Previously, we had tried a small Montessori…read moreschool in our neighborhood which was not a good fit for our family. In the year that they have been at Safari Kid, their progression has demonstrated positive growth in so many ways. Safari Kid has provided an excellent environment for our boys to discover the joy in learning. Their response to the play-based and socio-emotional aspects of the curriculum has been so positive. The administration and staff go above and beyond in providing a sense of safety and community, helping our kids to grow into independent, sociable, curious, playful, and confident learners. We truly feel that the teachers, administration, and staff care about the well-being and growth of our kids. As parents we are continually impressed by the new skills acquired by our children from lessons provided by Safari Kid. We are so glad we found Safari Kid!

Her center has many interesting learning stations as depicted in pictures on her website, which will pique the interest of any child. I would recommend crocodile to any parent.

She's patient, attentive, and takes her time with each child to make sure they're really understanding and progressing. Thanks to her, my son has learned to read and is feeling confident heading into first grade. Christine and Stephanie, the director and co-director, continue to be incredible. They're so supportive, compassionate, and genuinely care about the families they serve. They always go above and beyond to make sure your child feels safe, loved, and well cared for--and that you feel supported as a parent. They're communicative, understanding, and truly lead with heart. I will honestly be so sad once my kids outgrow the need for daycare, because Baseline has been such a constant source of stability, comfort, and trust in our lives. Knowing my kids were safe, nurtured, and thriving there has meant the world to me, and I'll always be grateful for everything this amazing team has done for our family. Thank you BTL for everything.

The staff including Christine, Stephanie and his classroom teachers listened to what our son needed. A plan was created with us so everyone knew what to do and they were flexible around working with our son and his medical needs. He started out being worried and scared during that time of going to school to eventually wanting to go and liking his class. He even made a best friend. Due to the staff being willing to teaming with us around his needs he ended up catching up and exceeding expectations. My family and I highly recommends this daycare.

Our daughter is almost 3 and has been going here since she was 2.5 and we lovvvve WMI. We toured 9…read moreother preschools including 2 other Montessori programs and this place has everything we were looking for!!! First- the teachers. No matter where you go or what type of "program" a school says they base their teaching strategies on its honestly all about the teachers and WMI has some of the most caring and nurturing of people around. They are so caring welcoming they make your child feel safe while allowing them to be independent and respectful and have some ownership in their learning and school. The students- AMAZING. They are the most well behaved group of kids you will ever meet... And happy!! Because they model after each other and the teachers are good at modeling discussing/explaining reasons for why we respect each other and act the way we act everyone is happy and just respectful of each other. I had a friend tour who was weirded out and Said it wasn't natural to be this well behaved almost cult like... But it just shows you kids can be respectful playful well behaved little people if they are expected to be. The friend actually toured and did an "experiential day" with the school and actually has her daughter starting end of the month!!! The director- joy is amazing and really caring for her student.. They all love her to pieces. I will say honestly she sometimes is a little disorganized with parents (forgets scheduled meetings with parents from time to time) but never lacks with the children. I think she just has tons on her plate teaching/training/running and amazing school that things fall through the crack sometimes. She really wants the family to be really involved in the community which is great. She is also very easily reached/available and in constant communication with parents. The one negative that I can think of is they don't help wipe the kids if they are potty trained. They want them to be independent and do it on their own. My daughter has come home multiple times with skid marks because I just don't think she can reach that far. I have mentioned it before but not seriously talked to the school about it. Honestly though... There is no other school that I would trust with teaching the right morals and learning how to interact in a community to become fully functioning little people than WMI. You will not regret your decision for going....

He attended one year of preschool, one year of kinder supplement and continued to go once a week in first grade for reading tutoring. He loves reading and is years above his grade level. My daughter started Kiner Prep when she was 2.5 years old, since we totally sold. She is now in kindergarten, still attends in the afternoon as a supplement and is reading at a second grade level. Her math is the end of a first grade level. The best part is that both my kids LOVED going- there was never a groan or complaint- ever. We have also attended summer class offerings that were very helpful to bridge the gap. Miss Andrea is amazing and a very talented teacher. I would trust her with my child anytime, anywhere. She has an ability to create a loving and safe environment for children to prosper.
