This place has gone from great to disgusting and unsafe over the past couple of years. Management…read morehas turned over a couple of times since then and teacher staff is now a revolving door. We just pulled our daughter out of there because they aren't even pretending to apply a curriculum for pre-k. They're babysitters, now, and not even very good ones at that. Most recently, we found soiled clothing stuffed into her backpack with her other clothing, sheet, and blanket. Not in a bag, just right into her backpack which now is soaked with urine. My four-year-old doesn't often have accidents, but good lord, what lazy, thoughtless person thought this was ok? During the pandemic, staff was supposed to be masked. Almost daily, either on dropoff or pickup, there were staff seen in classrooms or in the office (the part parents and kids walk though) either completely without a mask or the mask pulled down. Every time I brought it up, I was told that they'd "mention it in a staff meeting" or confirm that yes, it is their policy for staff to mask up. Regardless of your views on masking, the fact that they just didn't enforce their own policies that are supposed to be in place for safety, is unacceptable. The owner, Tom, also spread misinformation during the pandemic regarding masks and other preventive measures via signage posted at the center and at the summer camp location. This place started going down hill quickly when the director (a couple of directors ago, I think) left. Andrea was the last good one, but it was clear that she was being hamstrung from actually doing anything good there. I know it's tough finding a child care center these days, but please, if you have the option, look elsewhere. I'm sure there are other places just as bad or worse, but I no longer trust this place to keep my child safe and certainly not to prepare her for kindergarten. The dozen or teachers who have cycled through that room in the past few months have been uninterested in getting to know the kids, have completely ignored kids who clearly needed attention, were downright mean to kids (witnessed during dropoff on numerous occasions). If you can help it, please trust your children to another center. Also, the five star review that this is updating was written with the promise of a starbucks giftcard. I'm not sure how many other positive reviews are genuine.

These girls really do care for the children and it shows. I am a believer that children need fresh air and I love their covered play area so they are outside year round. My little guy loves it! The reason for the 4 stars vs. 5 stars is because they have had some turnover in management over the past year but they have been very transparent about it and kept the parents up to date as best they could. This is normal in any type of establishment to go through changes like this over time. A special mention to Jasmine and Jerrica as well as Mary and Jennifer. These ladies have made me realize that while I wish I could be with my son all day, I know he is in great hands with these ladies!

My son attended Cascade from pre-k to 7th grade. Although we did have our fair share of issues with…read moreteachers and staff over the years, we always felt like attending cascade compared to public school was the lesser of two evils. The biggest takeaway we got rather quickly was cascades number 1 priority was profit. Aside from the constant fund raising on top of the very expensive tuition, they find ways to charge you for every little thing (like football cost $250 to play on top of providing your child with cleats etc). I don't want to make it seem like we were miserable because that wasn't the case. Cascade preaches we're all family and did a good job of making us believe that! That is until it's time to stand up for each other like family is supposed to. The summer going into 7th grade I became extremely sick and lost my mobility. I was unable to work, exhausted my savings and maxed out my credit cards paying bills and tuition. Between hospital visits, I was in constant communication with the powers that be at cascade, In hopes we could come up with a plan to keep my child in the only school he's ever known. Sadly that was not the case! Not only did they kick my son out but they did it in a manner that showed no compassion! He took it hard initially leaving all his friends. Of course I felt like I failed my son but you never think it can happen to you until it does. Unfortunately That cascade family stuff they preach extends about the length of your wallet! It's just big business. Nothing else matters!
