My 2 year old daughter goes to Valley Oak Montessori, and has been there for 6 months now. Being…read moresuch a young child, I wanted a loving, caring and homey environment for my baby, where she can be well cared for, socialize and enjoy, while also also learn, and grow. I don't have enough words to convey what a wonderful pre-school it is. The teachers are extremely warm and care for the little ones like they are their own. As a parent, you leave behind a piece of your heart and want to know your child is being cared for, where they spend the most of their time, especially of their crucial developmental years. Early on, teachers took care to learn Isha's naptime routine and even learnt the Hindi lullaby she was used to and sang it to her everyday. That really helped ease her transition from home to school. Their monthly menu is diverse and even has Indian meal options which was a big plus for me! They have a very balanced plate and I don't have to worry about my kid eating healthy at school. They also have very well planned weekly curriculum where they teach kids life skills, have them do projects, have monthly themes for kids. They engage with the kids 1:1, have circle and music time which is great for kids to learn new songs and dance. The classrooms are large, where kids have a very clean environment and a good selection of learning books and toys (See pictures). The outdoors is also very well setup for kids to have physical activity, twice a day. They post weekly newsletters on what the kids were taught at school and it helps us better understand what kids are learning at school. They also have special events planned for Thanksgiving, Christmas, where kids perform songs and have parents join in for the celebration. Mrs. Varsha, the program director is very warm and approachable, and makes sure to know and bond with every kid personally, despite having such a large facility. She makes sure to care for every kid's individual needs and receptive to feedback. She makes sure to take action on the smallest feedback very promptly, while always being very kind with the parents and her staff. The school is gated and I've found it to be very safe for my kiddo. The student to teacher ratio is also very healthy 6:1, and they regularly post photos and videos of kids on brightwheel, so you can see their special moments through the day. The teachers try to make sure every kid is well cared for, and I cannot emphasize what an incredible job they do! Taking care of little ones, especially in their parents' absence, everyday is one of the most important and rewarding jobs in the world, and they are doing a brilliant job at that. My older kid went to a different preschool and I wasn't very happy with how it was run, but I feel like I hit the jackpot with Valley Oak Montessori. Thank you very much for making it so easy for me as a mom to leave behind my child, knowing she's loved and cared for. It's a very hard job, and extremely well done! Big thank you to the entire team!

We highly recommend to any parent looking for a safe, clean, and well-organized early education experience!

On my child's first day, they helped us quickly manage his separation anxiety and within 5 minutes they posted pictures of him happily playing on the Procare app. At the end of the day he was so excited to tell us about his day, the teachers, and the friends he met. I love the facility and the way the rooms are setup. There are 4 rooms connected to each other so it's easy to separate the classes during curriculum and free play, and it's also easy to teachers to hop between rooms as needed. The school provided excellent lunches and snacks, and posted great pictures of the children eating together on the Procare app. Also the outdoor play area is excellent. There are many cars, balls and toys for the children to use. The shade structures are expertly set up, and the playground equipment is fun and safe. With all the children ages 2-5, the teachers and facilities are perfectly tuned to these ages. Such a great school!

Most importantly, the staff and teachers create such a warm, friendly, and nurturing environment. I always feel completely confident and safe sending my daughter here. I also love the picture updates we receive and all the thoughtful celebrations and holiday decorations throughout the school year. It's so fun, warm, and inviting! There was some teacher turnover in Pre-K, but even that ended up being a reflection of the school's strength. My daughter absolutely adored Ms. Christina, who took a short leave for personal reasons, and then grew just as fond of Ms. Sarah, who was also wonderful before she needed to step away. Both teachers were missed! We then had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Michelle, who is incredibly sweet and caring. Despite the transitions, I always felt my daughter was supported and in excellent hands. Overall, I highly recommend Primrose to any parent. The school has an inclusive culture, clean and well-maintained classrooms, a great playground, and most importantly a safe, positive environment where children truly grow. Watching my daughter thrive here over the years has been the best reassurance of all.

When my child was a baby, I was impressed by how clean, organized, and well-maintained the rooms and facilities were, which gave me peace of mind about leaving him in their care. The app that allowed me to see photos of my child and receive updates on activities was also incredibly reassuring. After infant class, school provides lunch and snacks which made in-house which was also big plus for us. At one point, we had to switch to another daycare for a year due to my husband's job transfer. During that time, we realized just how high-quality and outstanding Primrose evergreen truly is. Comparing it to another daycare only highlighted its excellence even more. As my son grew older, it was wonderful to see him learning so much and genuinely enjoying his time at Primrose. He always seemed happy to go, which made us feel incredibly grateful. We're especially thankful for the amazing and warm teachers at this daycare--Ms. Julie, Ms. Maritza, Ms. Keerthana, Miss Priyanka, and Miss Neha and all the teachers he had. They had such a positive impact on our child. We miss them dearly and couldn't have asked for a better team! I also have to mention the seasonal displays and events--they were absolutely amazing and added so much to the overall experience.

How are we supposed to know how our child is doing or address the behavior with no communication ? Barely 4 words to say at pick up. No notes are being sent home. Nothing like this. She is coming home with dirty underwear constantly. Is she potty trained, yes does she need to make sure she is doing a good job, also yes. Called us disrespectful for bringing our concerns to their attention. Said this is how they learn: "They are itchy and uncomfortable and it helps them learn to wipe better" Not one good thing to say about our child at parent teacher conference. They asked me what she liked, and I listed some things. That was the most positive part of the conversation. They didn't even prove to me they have gotten to know my child by telling me what she really likes at school. Only bad things. Only focusing on things she isn't doing well. Nothing good to say about her behavior or their favorite things about her in the classroom. Nothing. They said our child harmed someone with her hair clip. They removed her hair clip from her hair every day at school and re did her hair daily but never notified me of the problem till parent teacher conference. I don't know when it happened. No incident report nothing. When I was concerned about this being brought up at the parent teacher conference their story changed. She didn't hurt anyone. Like they will lie to cover their backs. Their stories changed. Trust is lost. No incident report. Didn't let me know what's going on when it happened. Nothing. They brought up many concerning things that have not even been introduced to my child at home yet like she is learning it from there and acting out They aren't doing their job at this school and the director is the main problem. Of course it trickles down. Extremely negative environment. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. Take your money somewhere else. This school is only set up for babies who start from the beginning. They want their students to act like robots and expect a 2-3 year old to sit at their desk for 8 hours a day. As if this is normal for this age and it is not. They expect your 2-3 year old to change their shoes when getting to school and at pick up. As if a three year old can grasp this concept. And they cannot understand fully why they need to wear shoes to school then change into school shoes. They were very annoyed about my child using the bathroom so frequently but she is learning and doesn't want to have an accident. Everything seems like a bother as if they do not want to do their job Good luck having your 2-3 year old start here at this program. Not realistic at all. Extremely disappointed I was never notified of behavior. I would like to know how my child is doing so I can be consistent addressing the behavior at home. How do you let things go for a month and a half and just wait till the parent teacher conference to notify of an issue. This is not proactive behavior or professional. Extremely happy to not have my child going to this school anymore. My child cried every day for a month at drop off saying she didn't want to go here. It is a daily thing to convince her to go. Other kids struggle greatly at drop off too. Maybe this is a HUGE RED FLAG!!!!!!! None of the kids look happy here. Not one.

We took our 2 years old son with us on the visit as we wanted to include him in the process and help make the transition to school smoother for him. The school is part of a church but the preschool curriculum does not appear to be focus on religion. We started with a p/t schedule for about 1.5 months then transition him to f/t. I would say it took him about 2 months to fully transition. However, I did not have any worries as Ms. Jenny and the other teachers/paraprofessionals are very kind, friendly, supportive and knowledgeable of child development. I like that they did not pressure my son with potty training him but encourages him daily to use the toilet. They understand that every child's development is different and that my son is ready when he is. He eventually sat on the toilet but did not do his business and everything clicked when he turned 3 as he is now potty trained. :) Now that my son is used to preschool, he is excited to go to school every day and happy to share with me his classwork/artwork whenever I pick him up. He leaves the school smiling and saying bye to all his friends and teachers. Further, he is always singing songs and talking about things he has learn from school. I am so glad that he is having such a positive experience here and I know that he will definitely be ready for Kindergarten when the time comes. (+) Accepts children 2+ years Potty Trains (no extra $ to tuition) Affordable Tuition (given it being in the Evergreen area) Flexible P/T & F/T schedule Playground on site and is fenced up Diverse staff Diverse group of students Lots of Activity and Holiday crafts Weekly classwork (sent home at end of week) Daily Drop off/Pick Up log for parents to sign (-) This did not affect my 5-stars rating but I feel it is a concern even though the teacher has eyes on the children all the time. The door to the preschool can be easily opened from inside as it is has a push bar. Any child can open it and of course, any one can come in. I think it should be locked and a doorbell should be installed or some other steps to take to prevent a child bolting out or a stranger coming in. Does not hurt to be too safe.
