I faced a lot of discrimination, snarky commentary as a parent when I picked my kid up. Even my daughter got mistreated a few times. Steer away from this location they don't treat the kids well.

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.

Ask about early child development. You have to go and get updated trainings on this and stay current. 3. This school has lots of field trip that would certainly be fun if they were more organized with informing to the parents sooner than the night before. This was something all the parents complained about. 4. I had a mom bump into me at a store telling me she felt bad for my son because the teacher was talking about him in-font of other parents. 5. Lacks professionalism and confidential conversations. 6: Not enough positive environment and I believe this might go back to the lack of early child development training. 7. High expectations for a four year old boy. 8. No posting of first aid and CPR training or food handlers permit BUT snack were given. What if a toddler begin to choke? We as parents should feel that our children are being safe environment once we drop them off. 9. Open lines of communication with the teacher shouldn't come across as being defensive. Several parents felt this way. Maybe it was just our son that they just didn't connect with or have the patients for but has parents this is the start to their little minds. This is our opinion as loving parents. We suggest to do your own research. Check out Sycamore Tree and Manette pre-school to see the needed skills based on Washington State board of Education.

My son has brought home more art work than I have room for and I am always up to date through photos every week on what he's been up to.

I highly recommend this school for families looking for a great foundational learning block for their 3-6 yr olds.

But all I want to review here is the Fireside Bistro. It's a wonderful hidden cafe on campus, with fireplace and extra special Friday feasts. Breakfast is only from 8 to 10 am, and offerings range from basic to oh my isn't that fancy. Menu changes to lunch at 10 with a whole different array of choices. You gotta get there before 1 pm as they do close early. The quality has varied from year to year. Previously it was one of the best little restaurants in Bremerton, a real dream to take out-of-towners to. It's not THAT good presently but it's still pretty darned good. The menu is in continuous flux and sometimes what they have is superduper. It was also dirt cheap in the past, priced so even students could afford it. But nowadays both the Bistro, and the basic cafeteria, are tragically expensive. I presume some funding got cut, and hungry kids and teachers had to pick up the slack. I would not generally recommend the cafeteria though the hot-table isn't notorious cafeteria food; the culinary students do try to design interesting daily menus, but it still has to work on a hot-table, and it can be too limited, and they forget about the vegetarians on campus too often. The Bistro, though, is worth checking the on-line menu (at the Olympic College website) and if it sounds good then it will be good, and worth a trip over there even if you're not a student.

According to Security staff at Olympic College, I did not have to pay for parking. Parking is free in the summer. I was charged anyway for parking by the cashier while paying out of pocket for my classes. The Accuplacer Placement Exam is to see if I should take a certain Math course for Medical Assisting. The office where you could ask questions about the exam, closed at 1130am the day I was told to sign up for the test. I went online to sign up for the test and found out the fee was 25 dollars. Another out of pocket expense. Since the office was closed that handles the exam was closed: i put my credit card in the system and paid the 25 dollars. Unbeknownst to me, and because the office was closed, I did not know that the 25 dollars was not refundable. When I checked my calendar at home, I found out I had doctor appointments when the exam was to be taken. I immediately called the testing center at Olympic College to try and get a refund. No one answered the phone and of course no one was in the office. On the website for the 25-dollar Accuplacer test , there was not a warning that I would not get a refund if I canceled the test. The warning came after you had given the 25 dollar payment. I was shocked that an institution would not warn students beforehand. Becoming a Medical Assistant was my next goal after CNA program. When I talked to an employee who helped run the program, she told me that my previous courses taken at Olympic College would carry over to getting me a Medical Assistant certificate. When I met with the supervisor who was in charge of the program, her response took a negative tone. The supervisor told me that I would have to pay for all the classes over again. Being suspicious of her antics, I emailed the Dean of Olympic College. I got no response from the Dean. To me, this seems like a money grab. I am paying for my own college classes. I should not be paying to take the same classes over. Olympic College should ask the lawmakers to give them more money to stay open. Do not depend on students paying (out of pocket).
