"Curriculum seems strong. Our daughter is still young so hoping to see learning letter sounds and numbers soon—school progress mixed with fun. Appreciate all the songs and singing, daughter loves that!"

"I was very excited about enrolling my kid there I was on the waiting list and after looking at 5 other Montessori schools It was still my top pick. However unfortunately like mentioned in question 41 those aspects have made it a little disappointing"

"I am very greatfull with the school and with miss Beth and miss Sharon. My kid has have a very wellcoming and loving enviorement and he is growing and developing so fast. I love how his teachers and friends are helping him grow."

"The communication, pics and two way email in the app is one of the best attributes. We always feel connected and responded to."

"My child is incredibly well cared for in this school by every teacher, cared, etc. She is happy and excited to go tchotchkes everyday, and also excited to tell me about her fun day when I pick her up. This school is such a blessing!"

"We love the school and every teacher has been wonderful. Our 3 year old is now in the primary classroom and still insists on stopping by her toddler classroom to say good bye to her previous teacher every day because she loves her so much. We’ve had only good experiences here."

"We've been very frustrated for both our children as a result of safety concerns and injuries that have taken place. Along with that, the responsiveness and care taken around those injuries. And finally, when sharing there are questions around safety the staff is somewhat dismissive and doesn't provide confidence that it is being taken care of. Even walking around the toddler rooms there are plugs withour covers, loose wires etc on a regular basis"

"I wish that there was better training of the teachers who don't come in with montessori training and that the good teachers were paid enough to stay. After leaving I have run into a few teachers who indicated the pay was not enough to survive in the Portland area, and that they didn't feel like the school provided training for them."

"The teacher turn over is the biggest concern and that it seems really challenging to hire Montessori trained teachers."

"The new director, Tammy, has really seemed to get the school organized and communication has improved greatly. She genuinely cares and makes an effort to address any of our concerns."

"General experience with teachers was excellent. Both Directors have been odd - not very warm or friendly"

"My child loves school. You can tell he feels welcome and safe. I believe he is challenged and engaged, though I don't actually have evidence of this."

"I’ve generally had a good experience aside from the poor food quality options and turnover of teachers and staff."

"My sons teacher is Miss Becky and Miss Maria are exceptional teachers who provide a consistent and nurturing environment. Teachers like them is why the school is as good as it is. Without teachers Of that caliber and with their longevity the quality of the school will suffer. Consistently in teachers with the highest abilities is what makes the school."

"Our first few years at Cascade were great. The pre-school teachers that we had were amazing. The toddler experience was worse than expected. It has been incredibly disappointing and made us consider other, more expensive options, that are further away, due to the issues that we've experienced."
