My kids favorite school!! A full American Montessori Society member!…read more My son attended Ms. Ali's beautiful school for four years. My daughter now attends, this will be her 3rd and a half year. I was looking for a school that felt like an extension of home. A loving and nurturing environment. I had originally missed the open house date but decided to give Ali a call for a private tour. The moment I stepped inside the classroom I fell in love. I knew right away that I had found our school! I have to say, what a relief. Ali explained to me the Montessori philosophy, admittedly I was not familiar with it. Now I can't imagine teaching my kiddos without this philosophy. First Stage Montessori has created a solid foundation for my children's independence, curiosity, confidence and responsibility. Whether your kiddo attends for 1 year or the entire 4 year program, you become family with the school. I cannot thank Ali and Angel enough for all the dedicated work they've put over the years into growing such thoughtful and amazing young students!

We loved the staff, curriculum, and that our son always came home with something he had learned or created that day with a daily sheet of activities, food, etc. Each room has at least 1 long term staff member with a few that come and go being that it's a large military community which is expected. The director Renee is great as well with communication, dedication to the program, and I always saw her helping out all levels when I randomly stopped by or at pick ups. Even though my son has now started Kindergarten he frequently asks to visit his previous teachers. I'm so happy our son was able to attend M&M!

We were only there for 6 months due to a move. We miss this Martha and Mary and all the staff though!

From the owner: There Is Nothing More Important Than A Child's Early Years…read more Our PhilosophyThere is nothing more important than a child's early years because the adult they will someday become is shaped by those first few years of life. All children attending child care deserve a positive, consistent, warm and nurturing educational environment. At Central Valley Child Care we strive to create a peaceful environment where children are encouraged to function independently, be respectful of themselves, others and the environment, and learn to make positive choices. Parent communication is a very important part of our work with children. Our teachers talk with parents daily about their child's progress and will always look to parents for insight and advice on how to best work with their child. Our CurriculumOur Preschool classes use The Creative Curriculum when planning our learning activities. Our classrooms are designed for independent learning opportunities. Curriculum is planned around the developmental needs and interests of the children enrolled in our Preschool. Children in our care will learn and grow socially, emotionally, physically, and academically through the structure of the environment, play and age appropriate learning activities. Our long term goal for each child is for them to be socially and academically ready for Kindergarten. Please visit our website by clicking the link above, or call us for more information!

From the moment I connected on the phone with Tammy (who has sadly moved on to another job since then)I knew this was where we were meant to be. She and all the staff Made us feel so welcome from the start. My daughter loves going to school each day and has flourished since starting here. As an educator myself it makes me so happy to see her love her teachers and have such a positive first school experience. I know she is in great hands when I am working. I am honestly shocked that they do not have a higher star rating. I know not every preschool is a fit for everyone so you have to find what works for you, but If you are looking for childcare in the Kitsap area I urge you to check them out for yourself. I know I didn't regret it. Thank you Central Valley Child Care for all you do! Ps: My daughter would like to leave her own review. She says "I like school. I like when I play games. They do some dancing."

If you are considering enrolling your child here, I would encourage you to proceed with caution…read more Before our child started, we clearly communicated to the staff that he struggles with attention and discussed his behavioral challenges in detail. We were reassured that they would work with him, support his progress, and that there was no need for concern. However, after only three days of attendance, we received a phone call at pickup informing us--without any prior warning or discussion--that it would be his last day. If you have a 3-year-old with similar behavioral challenges, I would recommend taking their assurances with caution and making sure you have a backup plan in place, as unfortunately we did not. If there was an option for 0 stars I'd pick that.

Everyone seemed very nice and although everyone was masked and provided appropriate safety measures on the tour, my child's teacher and at least two other individuals that work here do not believe in wearing a mask to protect the vulnerable children during this deadly pandemic. We had to un-enroll her after just two days here. To me, this demonstrated a poor lack of judgment among other things. Why wouldn't you want to protect the children you're teaching? I spoke with the director and she apologized and refunded all of our money. The issue with the staff not masking is complicated as they claimed a religious exemption to masking (which isn't a real thing)! We're two years into his pandemic. Wearing a mask isn't hard. I'm a nurse and wear one all day while caring for patients. It's not hard to protect yourself and others. It amazes me that I even have to write this right now but I want others to be aware before enrolling here in case keeping their children safe at preschool is a concern for them.
