There are two areas filled with play structures, and a good sized field. They opened up the bathroom in the school for the event. Most wonderful of all is the large *covered* concrete area. If you are an Oregon mom, any physical activity area that stays dry is a gem to you. Both my toddler on his balance bike, and the big kids on their decorated parade bikes were having a blast in this area. We were very early for parade staging, and this facility made the hour and 15 minutes we waited an absolute delight. Teaching your kiddo to ride a bike? Head on down! This is a great place to do it! Psst, don't forget the helmet. Even balance bikes get moving pretty fast as the concrete under the roof is smooth.

We've appreciated the wealth of parent education nights that have informed us about the absolute brilliance that is Montessori education. Wow, Maria Montessori. Each time we're at the school for parent education or some sweet gathering for families, we feel starry eyed and grateful to be able to have our kids at a Montessori school. On top of that, Sunstone is a great community of compassionate people. The year is full of sweet community events and seasonal gatherings. My kids look forward to school the great majority of their days and come home proud of the research/math/knitting or other awesome things they've done. The guides are all excellent, committed and caring, and clearly like family with each other. Truly my only complaint is that I wish we could walk there! And I wish they'd start a high school!

He is now almost 6 and ready to start kindergarten. The care and support they have shown our entire family over the years is more than anyone could hope for. They gave him a love of learning, a safe space to grow and learn about himself, to find friends and build social skills, all the while keeping us parents fully in the loop. Sending pictures every day and newsletters every month. They have professionals from OMSI and Firefighters, etc come and visit to further enrich the students and the kids are always having fun while they learn. I'm so happy they are close to us, so we can now give our daughter the same experience. The staff is amazing and they truly do care about the kiddos and even the parents. Love love love this school!

Ren prepared our daughter for a rigorous college prep program. Although she had some nervousness about final exams and needed a primer on letter grades and GPA, she was academically well-prepared. The girls who attend St Mary's after Ren School seem to excel. Most importantly, Ren was instrumental in helping my daughter develop a strong sense of herself. Ren's holistic approach to education, with a focus on social and emotional development, is stellar. It mattered to me that our daughter's education encompassed far more than just book learning. Over the years, she was nurtured and went from a timid and anxious child to a confident and creative young woman. As a college professor, I recognize the importance of academic preparedness. I also know that social and emotional stressors can make it challenging to learn. Being in a safe community where she was known and cared for by all the teachers meant the world to our family. Thank you, Ren!
