"Absolutely love this school, from the first person you see when walking in, the teacher and cooking staff everyone is so friendly. Ms Petra my sons teacher is expectional, my son has come on in so many aspects I didn't expect for him to improve on since being at this school. There is a wonderful and noticeable difference between him and his friends that do not attend this school."
"High turnover in teachers. Location is the only reason we are here, teachers are nice and seem good, they all leave for one reason - the Director - small world close community - we are stay in touch with prior teachers and several are actively looking and applying at our companies as the parents are company owners, recruiters, and leaders in industry"
"It's been great! We are still learning and exploring the school choice."
"My son is happy and excited to attend daycare here every day. I feel confident that he is safe and taken care of any time he is on campus."
"We have been very happy overall with our experience at Cascade Summit Montessori. My kid's communication skills, social skills, physical abilities, and confidence have soared since enrolling him in the toddler program. I highly recommend it!"
"Well oiled machine with absolutely amazing staff. From day 1 my daughter was connected to her teacher and didn't even say goodbye to me!"
"Significant improvement in teachers, communication, staffing, management and support with children in the last year! Love our teacher now."
"My children have been going to CSM for the past 3 years. During the pandemic, we had many concerns regarding communications and turnover. I am in the medical field and needed childcare during that time, so we decided to keep them in but we constantly questioned taking them out.
This all changed when a new team of administrators were brought into the school last year! I have nothing but positive things to say about this change!! Since Natasha and Lauren took over Cascade, they have brought in new wonderful, and knowledgeable teachers. My husband and I have been getting daily photos and consistent communication, with virtual meetings, messages, or calls whenever they may see a change in my child or I have any questions. I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that 4 teachers are even on contract for multiple years. I truly feel that my child has a place to develop with humans that give the same love I would at home."
"We appreciate how kind and patient everyone is. They truly care about the kids."
"Great experience even with lots of turnover in teachers and administration. They have managed the constant changes well."
"I am overall happy with the school coz my child has made friends but I am really not sure what all my child has learned except that her vocabulary has been increasing. I am not happy with the teachers changing so frequently and sometime the irresponsible answer when there is a problem."
"William loves the school and his teachers. We have seen huge progress in his development since he joined. The only thing that could be improved is some additional detail in his daily report, specifically what activities happened during the day."
"Our child’s teacher is great. Seems happy to engage with us but usually we have to initiate. Teachers are not usually available to talk during before and after care when we drop off and pick up so we don’t get a lot of interaction or chances for communicating"
"We love Cascade Summit. It has given our child the independence and freedom to explore the limits of their ability and imagination while also being grounded in practical life skills. This was such an excellent choice for our child's development and Cascade Summit has yet to make us think otherwise. Thank you!"
"The new director has made significant progress with the school’s teacher’s. She listens, is very considerate, and cares. It would be very beneficial to get security cameras at the school as there have been 5+ car break ins in less than one year. Many parents have asked for this and we know corporate has to approve. Please approve!!"
"The school has great potential. They have an unsually high turn over for teachers, and some of their hires were questionable. I feel like my child has been considered last for most things. I wish they would pay their teachers more, so that they would stay longer."
