Okay so I'm an old student at camas schools. I whent from 1st grade all the way to 8th grade. This…read moreschool district only cares for their grades. They do not care about the students well fair, or mental health. They hire inappropriate substitute teachers and everyday teachers. When I say inappropriate I mean lowkey either pedophilia or the teacher doesnt do there job. When My peers or myself would report the teacher or sub it would be taken with a grain of salt and would be ignored. There was a substantial teacher that I had twice, and each time would go up to the boys in my class and start massaging there shoulders and start saying "how's your work going baby?" And would continue to say thing about how they wanted to convince some students in my class into there home. And this substitute is still working there. Another example of a teacher being out of line was a math teacher named br. Burton, who works at skyrdige middle school. He would sit there for the entire class period, and tell everyone about his life. He never taught us the curriculum and would get mad when we would have a class adverage of an F. Again, my peers and me have reported the teachers that have been out of line and it has been ignored. At one point, one of my friends was being bullied and they reported it over and over and it was ignore and that friend almost committed suicide because they where being ignored. It took the person almost committing suicide for the school to do anything about the bullying.

Simply NO! I would not recommend this school!…read more There were many red flags leading up to our first day but I brushed them off due to the convenience of the location and the desire for our daughter to continue in a Montessori program after she aged out of our previous school. To name a few of the most significant issues faced during the 2021-2022 school year: -The assistant teacher left the school within 1 month of working, the hired on assistant left within 2 months of working and the lead teacher left within 4 months of working. (At the end of the school year, I learned 2 more teachers left). This alone should be very telling! -The communication from the owner Katrina was chaotic. We were flooded with nonsensical emails frequently. The policies were always changing. -We prepaid tuition for the year and received confirmation that we "paid in full for the year!" Then during winter break there was a tuition increase and we were asked to pay the difference. This made us question the business management measures Katrina had in place. Why would we ever choose to "pay in full" if it is actually not "in full" and the price is still going to increase for us halfway through the year? -The children in the upstairs class missed over 1.5 months of school (over a 5 month period) due to covid cases. There was no tuition reimbursement for these closures. No other preschool in our area (16 were called) dealt with the inconsistency, the closures, the regulations and/or the protocols that this school had in place. The interpretation of the state wide covid protocol was not in line with the other local preschools and the chaotic nature of dealing with covid/sickness once again made us question the leadership as a whole. When the parents started to question these policies and procedures, families were literally KICKED OUT of the school and their personal items were left on the porch for pickup. More than 1 family left on their own volition, several others were looking at their options at the time of this occurrence. -She attempted to kick our child out via text message because we questioned her inconsistent and ever changing sickness protocol. Our child has had excellent behavior and was never a troubled kid. She simply did not want ANY dialogue regarding her policies. -Upon telling Katrina we decided to pull our daughter out she shared "I was not kidding when I said she can go, her stuff is already on the porch." She never once made an attempt to allow her to say goodbye to her class or receive any kind of closure. -We were told a check for our tuition reimbursement of $3000 was sitting on the front porch of the school with our daughter's stuff in a bag over the weekend (SO INAPPROPRIATE). We told Katrina we were out of town for the weekend and she responded with, "It will still be there on Monday." When we returned to pick up the bag, there was no check. She claimed she "mailed it to us" on two separate occasions. After confronting the situation 3+ times because it never arrived in the mail, Katrina finally sent us a paypal payment for our $3000. A check never was sent in the mail and never arrived. It was straight up dishonesty. It is important to note the director Katrina wanted to retire and she did not plan on being a teacher this year. Though, due to all of the staff leaving she was forced to pick up and teach again mid-year. I am not sure how it was in the past, but at the present moment she demonstrated emotional volatility, impulsivity and most sadly, dishonesty. I understand the year of 2021 was very difficult. We had a lot to deal with regarding the economical and social impacts of covid. However, this does not justify the lack of professionalism, poor business practices, insensitivity to children and transitioning out, chaotic leadership and dishonesty. Keep looking for other schools and good luck.

I have put both my kids through LMS, my youngest is currently enrolled. I have had nothing but…read morepositive interactions with the program director and her staff. My kids both love Katrina, and I have no doubt she cares for them. What I appreciate about Katrina is that she meaningfully engages with the children. She likes to talk to them, and listen to them, and make them feel seen and heard. She gets on the ground and plays with them. I have seen both of my kids make great strides under her care, from understanding basic numbers/letters, to life skills, like confidently putting their own shoes on, and washing their hands before/after meals. Finally, when my 5 year old entered kindergarten this year, she was already reading and writing, which is owed in full part to LMS. I understand there were some safety concerns earlier in the year, but I was satisfied with the way Katrina handled them. I also personally did not take issue with Katrina's conservative approach to the pandemic. At the end of the day, what matters to me is: a) are my kids happy, and b) are they learning? At LMS, I can confidently answer yes to both.

Our kiddo is coming from a Montessori preschool setting, which ended up being very difficult for us. The school has offered us all the support, welcoming staff and families, lots of wonderful programs, that are all wonderful. Lewis promotes diversity-love-support to students & families from all backgrounds (they stand t true to the their word about being inclusive, unlike other schools that just throw the word around, but do not hold true to). All of the kids are so friendly to one another. It definitely has more of an arts feel to it. The facility is very secure, and the classrooms are very clean & full of natural daylight. Our student is also blessed with a 16 student classroom vs 25 students for the school we were slated to go to that us east of here.

Columbia Christian has also helped support some of my kids that have learning support needs in a way that encourages and hold them accountable.
