Kelsey is sensitive & conscious, and makes sure to include diverse curriculum and conversations (age appropriate of course) about cultural, physical, and socio-economical differences. She trusts the natural intuition of kids, and embraces their curiosity- even when getting into the "tough" territory. I always had complete faith in her to answer my precocious kid's surprise questions, that at times have caught me off guard, and we as a family learned many lessons from Kelsey's cool, calm, and kind way of approaching the world. My son is now almost 8 years old, and he consistently looks back at this time with Kelsey as some of his favorite memories.

The environment she has created fosters curiosity, creativity, imagination, problem-solving, engineering, and overall confidence building. Additionally, she connects with other educators for supplemental opportunities such as yoga and music. Teacher Kelsey invests in continued education and training, as well as a variety of certifications for the school. Our family was enrolled for two years with Little Stompers and feel deeply grateful to have found such a wonderful school and teacher!

Deb is an energetic and creative teacher who engages the kids in all manner of activities. Not only does she create learning units and lesson plans, but she regularly provides the kids with play time outside all year round--a necessity for my outdoor-loving child. My daughter begins kindergarten this fall, and she has said on more than one occasion that she "doesn't want to move on from Deb's." It has been a very positive experience for us having her at Brighter Beginnings, and we're thankful to have found such a safe, warm place for her to spend her pre-K days. I can highly recommend this business!

I am amazed at the skills and education My daughter is receiving on the daily. I couldn't ask for a better situation, Teacher and education for her. She is excited every day to go to school and loves her teacher and classmates. The classroom is clean, inviting, colorful, and very resourceful. Miss Jenny's approach is very loving, kind, and nurturing. The arts and crafts are amazing and truly remarkable. I am impressed each week at my daughter's new abilities, and the new ways she is expressing herself. It's hard to leave your little one in the hands of someone but I promise you this is a very safe place. I highly recommend this preschool for your potty trained 3-6.5 year old.

EPCP was a great choice for our family. I was looking for more than childcare for my child; I…read morewanted a place where I could pop in or stay all day, and be part of his first introduction to school. And I wanted a community we could feel connected to. EPCP is all that. Parents work in the classroom as parent-teachers, so you have to be aware that not everyone will parent-teach the way you would. That can be challenging. The reward is seeing your child bloom among others, first-hand. The school has been in place for more than 50 years and the teacher for the two-year-olds has been teaching for more than 25. The older class (three- and four-year-olds) has had some fluctuation over the past year; our beloved teacher moved away and proved difficult to replace, but after some trial and error, a fresh and enthusiastic teacher seems to be fitting the bill. Though our family is moving on this year, I believe the community will thrive in the years to come. Tuition is low. The community is incredibly supportive. The school partners with local UO-based EC Cares to provide evaluations and assistance to kids who need a little extra attention. No school is perfect (hence four stars, rather than five) but EPCP is pretty awesome. Experience will vary based on your participation level, and that of the other families. We're going to miss EPCP for sure!

One or the other of my children has attended the Eugene Waldorf School for just over nine years…read morenow. My children have always been treated as whole people, humans with hopes and dreams and ideas at EWS. The Eugene Waldorf School is chock full of visual arts, music, handwork and woodwork, fantastic writing instruction, Spanish language learning, theater productions each class year, plenty of outdoor play, and science, math, and social studies blocks that meet children where they are. For instance, literature is taught through fairy tales in first grade and world literature in eighth grade. As seventh and eighth graders independently explore more of the world around them, their curriculum mirrors that discovery as students study the Renaissance and voyages of discovery. At the Eugene Waldorf School, regular festivals and celebrations such as the Winter Light Fair and May Fair mark the seasons, and older students become invested in and volunteer to help with events to help create the same magical festivals that they remember from their younger years. My kids love the Eugene Waldorf School, and my older child, now a junior in public high school, has carried that love of learning gained at EWS into a successful high school experience.

I was absolutely mortified! and frankly in shock. I expected her to get down to eye level and speak to him. I would say this classroom was not older then 4 years old so of course he was not paying attention. My husband and I looked at each other and I said NO way so we left.
