5 Stars, Great educators, a safe environment, and a wonderful sense of community. I highly…read morerecommend this preschool!! I moved our little family from Hawaii 4 years ago when my children were 3 and 1 years old. My main concerns I was looking for in a school are a safe environment - where my child can feel safe and welcome at the school and with the teacher. Not familiar with the area and not knowing anyone in Lake Stevens, I was concerned with who was caring for my children. I am a stay-at-home mom and often have my children cling to me when we go to new places. I also wanted a place my children could learn to listen to another grown-up and socialize with other children. Sunnyside exceeded my expectations due to their wonderful staff; who have provided an environment of comfort and care. During the 4 years, my children were enrolled at Sunnyside, the school has gone through some major changes - from condensing into one campus, hiring new teachers, and new playgrounds - to maintain the growth of the school. But during that time, they did not lose the caring concern they had for each child attending. I am not one to measure my child's growth by academic standards at this age, I can only ask that the school teach my children social behaviors that display small levels of maturity for our little humans. I am proud to say I have two kids entering into grade school all thanks to the growth and development they have achieved at Sunnyside. Mrs. Cindy Brengman has established and maintained a wonderful place to care for our little ones. I'd like to personally recognize the amazing teachers we have had the pleasure to teach our kids: Ms. Leslie welcomed both of my children as their introduction to school. She is wonderfully patient with 3-year olds. As expected of the littlest students, most of the kids struggle with separation. Both of my kids cried, especially my youngest. But every time I picked him up he was happily playing with his friends and adored his teachers. Ms. Kendra had my daughter and she was wonderfully fun. She was engaging and attentive to their personalities. I loved the feedback I would get from Ms. Kendra ensuring that Abby's handwriting was normal and progressive even though it was backward. I was also impressed with how much my daughter retained the Spanish language she learned from Ms. Kendra. Finally, she helped be a familiar face once my son started to attend preschool and would often assist with the transition at drop off since he recognized her as big sis' teacher. Ms. Ana was a great transition to prepare into kindergarten for Abby. Structure and curriculum were important to Ms. Ana and following a schedule helped Abby prepare for Kindergarten. Ms. Brenda taught my son and is my favorite teacher for these little minds. Her knowledge and skills are invaluable. She is what every school needs 20 of. Her ability to encourage creativity and see the little shimmers of potential in these little hands and minds are extraordinary. I take extra time at home to teach my children basic kindergarten curriculum, so they have the tools and reinforcement at home. What I often forget is to just let them be and become whatever they need. That requires time spent creating. Ms. Brenda interpreted my son's drawings and helped him to develop the images and put value in a description. This is a great reminder to me and also helped him to feel confident in his creations. Being the younger sibling, he was becoming discouraged with his abilities compared to his sister. He is very smart, and I felt he was knowledgeable to test into kindergarten early, but I wasn't sure behavior-wise. By the end of the year, he had grown and matured so much. I am proud to say he passed the test and is headed into kindergarten next year. Ms. Brenda is wonderfully encouraging, and I could see how much my son loves her as he always drew pictures of her or of others who had "red glasses like Ms. Brenda."

When my peer and I reached out to Pat she seemed empathetic and apologetic, swearing that things would change. When I went back in today for our skills review we were treated worse than even before. This is unacceptable, and it is not normal for an educational setting. Cheryl had gone out of her way on multiple occasions trying to talk poorly about students to other staff and instructors, telling them not to help us, and adding that she hopes my classmate and I would fail our exams. There is no excuse for her behavior. Pat has been negligent of the situation.
