By some miracle, Red Wagon had an opening! As soon as I walked in, I knew that my son would be in great hands! He ended up being there for three years and he loved every minute of it. The teachers treated us like family. As someone who has a background in child language development, I was impressed by their academic programming. Additionally, I was impressed by their consistent and loving approach to behavior management (my boy can be a bit cheeky at times)! We will miss Red Wagon as my son moves on to kindergarten this year, but I hope to be back with my youngest when he's old enough!

The teachers have created such a kind, nurturing environment where he has truly thrived. He's loved going to preschool here. Over the last two years, I've watched him grow in confidence, make sweet friendships, and learn so much. We'll miss this place so much, but we're so grateful for the loving foundation they've given him. Thanks to their guidance and care, he's more than ready for kindergarten. We're so grateful for everything Red Wagon has done for him!

And AI is a threat to the intelligence of children. This will be our first year at the Wadorf School of Bend. We attended two other Waldorfs previously. The teachers and staff so far have been very nice. The class sizes are small, especially from 5th grade through middle school. Your child will get one on one attention and the best holistic education possible. They are offering 50% off for middle school right now and it's a great time to get in. We tried public school for middle school and regret it. Our son is looking forward to going back to Waldorf! The tuition may seem expensive, but they do have financial assistance.

Kayla (owner of Keeka's Kiddoz) has a predatory contract. You pay a fee to her (via Keeka's Kiddoz)…read moreevery time a babysitter sits for you IN ADDITION to the fee you pay to the sitter. In my case, she demanded $100 every time a sitter visited us. If you need to reschedule, then there is another fee to Kayla yet again, even if it is a makeup, as well as a cancellation fee. And the terms of her contract never expire -- you can never use a nanny found through her service ever again without either paying Kayla that per-visit fee or giving her a $500 "theft of services" fee. Parents beware!

I highly recommend using Keeka's Kiddoz if you are looking for a nanny. Kayla is super quick to…read morerespond and works very quickly to match you up with a wonderful nanny to fit your schedule. We used Keeka's Kiddoz 2 years ago to find a nanny for my three young boys (including a newborn) for two days a week. She found us the best nanny, who we love and became a part of our family. When our nanny decided to open up her own child care facility recently, Kayla helped us find another loving and nurturing nanny to watch my youngest. In both cases she was able to find us a wonderful nanny and very quickly! For anyone who may be hesitant due to cost, this is the second nanny service I've used (the other one was in California). To me, the upfront cost is completely worth it. Kayla pre-screens and pre-interviews the nannies and makes sure she is sending over highly qualified and dependable people. I've had many friends go through Care.com to find nannies and ended up with unpleasant experiences. It is completely worth the cost for ease and also knowing your child is home with someone who has been thoroughly screened and vetted. I can't say enough great things about Keeko's Kiddos- thank you!!
