The teacher is amazing--nurturing, patient, and truly invested in each child's growth. It's clear she loves what she does, and it shows in the way she creates such a fun, safe, and engaging learning environment. The cooperative aspect is wonderful too--it allows parents to be involved and really feel like part of the school community. We've built great relationships with other families, and our child has made so many new friends. If you're looking for a preschool where your child will feel supported, encouraged, and excited to learn, this is the place! Highly recommend Gig Harbor Co-Op Preschool!

    This is a wonderful school. Both of my children have attended or are attending this school now…read more The teachers are wonderful! This is a play-based program with parent participation. I work in the classroom about once a week and drop off the other days. I love the garden space and large outdoor play area. My daughter loves painting on the easels just about whenever she wants. The classroom is ever changing with new and exciting things to explore each day. Both teachers put a lot of effort into the activities and the imaginative play area concepts. There is also structured class time with stories, music, and motion. I highly recommend this school.

Our children have been going…read morehere for the past three summers and our youngest has been going to Pre-K and preschool for three years. She is thriving and has had the best start to her education. Seriously the best people. Worth the cost!

    My daughter is in first grade, and has attended GHA for two years now. One of the crucial factors…read moreto me was that the school is nestled in the trees, and she hears the birds, sees critters, and smells fresh pines and firs when she plays and learns outside. I didn't want her in the concrete jungle that schools have become. Even more spectacular is the teaching staff at GHA, and the supporting administration. The teachers give everything they have to their classes every day. The kids are so excited to go to school they can't wait for the doors to unlock in the morning. My daughter is excelling in this supportive environment. The staff knows every child that attends and every parent who comes to campus. We are committed to investing in our daughter's future at this school. We know it will equip her to excel in any environment as she develops her passion for learning and seeking information for herself. She is already comfortable and adept at presenting herself in front of groups. She is thoughtful and creative in her writing. Her fellow students are supportive, and her adventures in learning astound us every day. Visit the campus, you will be glad you did. Speak to the teachers, they will give you their time. Everyone on that campus cares about the school. It is a school with a soul.

    Since I chose Cadence based on reviews, I wish just one parent was honest with the issues going on…read morehere for apparently many years even before we arrived. This place is a logistical mess. They are short staffed constantly putting care into constant question and they have to rotate students who can't come to school that day because they don't pay their staff enough at all to stay. Teachers leave all the time. New ones come in, then leave shortly after. They're good with the kids, but for the astronomical cost that they keep raising, Cadence should come with peace of mind at least that you'll be able to get to work and know your children are being cared for by happy teachers who aren't overworked and underpaid, and constantly rotated so there is no bond formed. The gaslighting by the director on how this "isn't that bad" is obnoxious and insulting. On top of all this, they'll keep accepting new students and taking your money although they can't even handle the enrollment they have. It's all about money here. Interesting note: another Cadence location in the area had a teacher walkout because of pay and lack of training, so this is a pattern in this company. They're based in AZ and aren't local. And no matter what Cadence tells you, this is NOT NORMAL. There are a multitude of preschools in the area who do not put parents through this circus. I would highly advise you look elsewhere. This school is not at all worth the hassle. I've included photos of just a fraction of the "short staff" emails we recieved and that they're limiting classes that day or a warning that you may not be able to count on them for the day. If you have a very flexible schedule with work and don't need to follow any sort of structure in your personal life, this is the place for you. And to the teachers who do stay longer than a few weeks: you're saints and you should be paid a living wage.

    Leaving your kiddo with someone for any period of time is hard, let alone 5 days a week almost all…read moreday. Let me just say that Cadence is an answer to prayer and we LOVE them. The staff is so wonderful and my daughter loves going. At two years old she comes home talking about her friends and all the things she did that day. It also helps to have updates throughout the day so you can see what they are learning. We are truly blessed to have this place and Mrs. Nancy and Mrs. Reagan are AMAZING! We wouldn't want our munchkin attending anywhere else.

    Both our daughter and son have attended the Montessori Farmhouse. They teach independence and hands…read moreon learning. Overall we are impressed with the results. One drawback is the price, currently around $1200 per month, but you get what you pay for.

    We were over the moon to have our son go to this school. He had had a rough go of his last school…read moreand we thought this place would be perfect for him. Over the summer, we had a series of test done on him that resulted in an autism diagnosis. When we did the follow up session with the therapist, the first thinking we asked was what was the best thing for him as far as schooling as he is supposed to start kindergarten in the fall. The therapist said that while there was nothing wrong with a Montessori school, public schools would offer far more resources. That's all we needed to hear. Public schools it is. So my wife reaches out to farmhouse school to let them know that our son can not attend in the fall due to his diagnosis. They said that was fine, but that the first month deposit was non-refundable. $900!! Seriously?! We have a son who will require speech therapy, as well as other counseling and they're keeping our money? Ok. So then it turns out that friends of ours have a daughter that will also be attending this school next year, so my wife asks if our tuition can be applied to their child. Nope. A contract is a contract. This isn't a major corporation. This is a mom and pop business providing a service for mom's and pops, and their kids. Yes they have a contract. They know they don't have to honor it. They know they could have done the right thing. They chose not to. I guess I should be appreciative of the fact that they showed what they truly stand for before we went there. I can think of few things more devoid of moral decency than the way they chose to handle this. Our son has autism! Seriously?! What's wrong with you?

    Misleading practices during tour, enrollment, and our time at this school. They will gaslight you…read moreinto assurance that they will meet your child where they are at academically and make claims of providing a supportive environment for your child with "1:1" support, a buddy system, etc. However, we discovered this was not the case whatsoever. The Teacher dedicates about 30 minutes a day to an educational topic in the morning during circle time and then the children are left to essentially teach themselves. We were told there would be 1:1 support but there's a 10-minute reading group with 2-3 kids. There's a floater aid who will spend an absorbent amount of time with some kids but not the kids with neuro challenges that require more guiding. We observed the class with our son and realized none of the accommodations they claimed they were making were being made. Our son was labeled as having "behavior" issues and his teacher sent us daily summaries that was a list of what he didn't accomplish during the day and didn't engage in responses surrounding suggestions, solutions, and problem-solving as a team. Our son was also neglectfully fed documented allergens during a potluck by the school Head Director, Aimee Allen. Jenna - the elementary director is rather brash in her communication style. We sent over our son's IEP from his public school and asked about thoughts and feedback - which was never responded to even when followed up on. Jenna said as an accommodation she'd set our son up with a 2x week 1:1 para-educator and provided us his start date. 3 weeks passed and we hadn't heard any progress reports regarding this. Turns out she never followed through with this plan and failed to notify us. This school was a massive investment and disappointment on all fronts. If your child requires partnership with their teacher and support staff, guidance, and has a neurodivergence I strongly advise you to protect your child and your wallet and veer far away from this place.

    We can't say enough wonderful things about this school. We only wish we had started there in…read morepreschool. It is a positive learning environment where students are encouraged to be independent. They are part of a multi age community that is welcoming from the minute they start school. We have kids in elementary and middle school at HMS and couldn't be happier. We have attended public, private and homeschooled in other states but have finally found our school home.
