St Andrews Children Center

Saint Andrew’s is amazing! My daughter started going here in January of this year at 2.5years old. She struggled for months to cope with the changes but the staff were so kind and caring to her and to myself and my wife. They helped her grow in so many ways and now she is thriving! When I come to pick her up she never wants to leave. The staff are all so nice. The admins are very well organized and the value of their service is well worth the very respectable price. They do yoga and music time each week and we get updates with pictures throughout the day. I love seeing how happy my daughter is and how many new interesting things she is doing. Please check this place out, you will be happy you did.

I have had one of my children at St. Andrew's since 2018. We have loved the program! Many of the teachers are still at the center since 2018 and every time I come in to pick up some of the other teachers know my child, I really feel they are taken care of and I trust them. There is lots of educational learning, music time with Mr. Mike is a favorite, and fun arts and crafts that they bring home (my fridge is full of art). They do lots of events with the families so you can meet other parents and feel like part of a community. The pick up and drop off hours of 6:30 to 6pm are very accommodating for working parents. I love the app and get picture and video updates everyday.

I didn’t have a great encounter today 12/13/24 with Pam, who was very rude and unprofessional. I share 1/2 the cost of payments and the attitude of talking behind my back and calling my ex that they will not allow me to pick-up my kid is outrageous. I should be treated with respect and if there are so-called issues then address them to both parents. Our legal issue has been resolved, there is absolutely NO REASON you need to treat me this way. If you do, then as a co-parent I get to decide to take my child out of your daycare. Its not your business to decide when I can’t pick-up my son. I have supported your daycare and shared it with my friends and family but after what you did today. I am giving second thoughts on looking for a new school to place my kid where I will be treated kindly and respected. To Pam, who may be reading this. We have never met multiple times. We have met once! It was the time of the initial tour. Do not tell me in-front of your staff how you have met me many times. Meeting me, means we actually spoke. You may know of me, but you don’t know me. What happened in the past, is OVER. Let it GO. You being rude, is not where I want to place my child.

We had 2 kids go here in the last 10 years and we love the atmosphere. Good teachers, great location, coded entry which is great from a safety perspective. Their program is play and arts oriented, they have a functional garden where they grow vegetables and fruits, their playground has a good mix for imaginative play and has wood chips! (Not a fan of concrete). Their tuition includes organic food, they have a kitchen onsite and their menu is impressive, both my kids were introduced to a variety of table food. My oldest raves how he loved the food here!! What is included in the tuition is also music and yoga . Mr Mike plays various instruments and leads them in songs once every week. A yoga teacher comes in a leads the littles once a week. Extras - Soccer shots & webby dance. I have also seen a speech therapist onsite. They have multiple events through the year fall festival, Xmas & summer concerts, Mother’s Day tea, Father’s Day bbq, Valentine’s Day celeb, literacy fest. The aquarium of the pacific comes with their truck once a year and the kids get to touch and feel !! They also arrange for petting zoo to come. I mean talk about exposure to arts & science! it’s a well rounded program and I’m glad the kids were here. Age range is 2 months - 5 years. We had experience with many teachers but from the most current we love Ms Alice, Markena, Robin, Cece, Sadiya,& Lorraine. Pam & Yuri manage the front office and administration side of things and are responsive to concerns.

I toured so many different schools in the area and ultimately chose to enroll my infant son at St Andrews. He is now a toddler and he loves his teachers and loves going to school!! They give him lots of love and individual attention. You just have to be clear in letting them know if your child needs any special attention for certain things (as mine did). The teachers did a fantastic job helping my baby transition into school schedule, helping him feel safe and have fun, while being communicative with us parents. I am so grateful for the wonderful staff at St Andrews.
