LOVE THIS PLACE! My friends kids went here when they were little so it was one of my first calls when I needed daycare for my kids and that was 10yrs after! Miss Nikki is heaven sent! She handles my kids really well and always has a positive attitude!

My son has been attending Southwest Washington learning center since he was 7 months old, he will be turning 6 years old soon. All of his teacher's have been wonderful and devoted to his care and learning. His teacher's communicate about his day and I get the most darling pictures of his through their app. We love all of the staff and wouldn't want to go anywhere else!

I love the daycare here everyone there has been awesome for the last five years my boys have been going there and Nikki is amazing teacher and she's amazing person to have around your kids so are the all the other staff members as well

My son always has a good day here. Staff is always bubbly an chipper amongst all the lil rascals running around. There lunches look better then the one I make for myself lol

We have had the best experience with this daycare! The staff is kind and caring, the place is cleanly and most of all my kid enjoys going everyday! We are thankful for this center & their staff!

Our little one went here for two years and we have nothing but great things to say about the place, faculty and management. The director is the nicest, most patient person you will ever meet. The teachers here were soo amazing that my son (he no longer goes here) still talks to me about how much he loves them.
On multiple occasions, they have gone way above and beyond to accommodate, encourage, and elevate my son. This Goddard location will always be my first recommendation to anyone looking for daycare.

Our three kids have been/a few currently enrolled in the school and we couldn’t be more satisfied with their journey, their teachers dedication and social/emotional development of our children.

Very pleased with the staff and teachers. They devote a lot of attention and care to the kids and it shows. My son is attached to his teachers and it makes me happy he has a great community to grow up In.

Lakeshore Montessori School is truly exceptional. From the moment I stepped into the school, I was struck by the warm and nurturing atmosphere. The dedicated staff and teachers here are the heart of this educational gem.
The Montessori philosophy is brought to life in every aspect of the school. The classrooms are carefully prepared environments where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace. It's impressive to see how this approach fosters independence and a genuine love of learning in the students.
What sets Lakeshore Montessori apart is its commitment to individualized education. The teachers take the time to understand each child's unique needs and interests, creating an environment where every child can thrive with personalized attention and guidance.
In addition to the outstanding academic program, Lakeshore Montessori School places a strong emphasis on character development and social skills. The students are not only excelling academically but also growing into respectful, responsible, and caring individuals.
The facilities are top-notch, providing a safe and inviting space for children to explore and learn. The school's dedication to maintaining a clean and stimulating environment is evident throughout.
I can't say enough about Lakeshore Montessori School. It's a place where children not only receive an exceptional education but also develop into well-rounded individuals. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking the best for their child's early education.

Our daughter has been enrolled at Goddard for over a year. In that time, she has effectively participated in educational activities and developmentally appropriate curriculum. She comes away each day with something new to share with us or a new lesson learned. Her teachers (she's had four of them so far) are loving, kind and knowledgable. They've diligently provided us with photos, videos and ways to help our child succeed at home. They've assisted in our daughter's early separation anxiety (though that faded quickly) and they've helped with her potty-training.
We are incredibly fortunate to have Hillary, Cameron and the rest of the team at Goddard to help guide our daughter while continuing to provide us resources for our new-again parenting journey. We so appreciate the Camas Goddard team and how they continue to help mold our daughter into a curious and thriving pre-schooler.

Our son has blossomed at The Goddard School in the year he has been there. He started as a toddler and his language exploded as soon as he started. He is now in preschool and he has grown not only academically but social-emotionally as well. He looks forward to school every day and always comes home happy and excited to tell us what he learned. He has also made a ton of friends and I am so thankful for the relationships I am beginning to build with the other parents. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the staff, facility, and experience.

My 3 boys are enrolled in the school age room and they're teacher Ms Nikki is absolutely amazing! The activities and field trips that they do in that room are awesome. My boys love the fish tank and that they get to share the responsibility of watering the plants. Ms lia and Ms Hannah are always very welcoming and Ms Kaylyn is always on top of things! Ms Kelly is really good with my daughter as well!

I have 4 kids enrolled at the daycare and am also a teacher here. I was terrified at the thought of enrolling my kids into daycare but it has been an amazing experience! My daughter has been attending since she was 4 months old and Ms Sam is absolutely amazing! Ms Taylor and Ms Kelly are so good with my daughter. She gets excited every morning about going to school. My boys love that they get to go on exciting field trips and experience new things in the school -age room. Ms Lia and Ms kaylynn make it a fun and enjoyable work day. Ms Jessi makes amazing food for everyone! Working here I have met some amazing teachers like Ms Hannah, Ms jenny, Ms Marissa. I have and will continue to recommend this daycare!

SW Learning center has been amazing! Ms. Hannah and Ms. Lia are great, always tending to any special requests as well as just going above and beyond! Really the whole team deserves recognition I just don’t know them all as well as Hannah and Lia, they are all just the best and they make it worth the commute!

I have sent both of my children to LMS. The program director, Katrina, is the kind of caretaker/teacher that actually gets on the ground and plays with the children. She talks to them and engages with them. I have arrived unannounced many times, when she wasn't anticipating my visit, and witnessed her playing with the kids in meaningful ways and not just for show. At the end of the day, she is a kids' teacher. She gets them, and they get her. My kids both love her. And I know she cares for them. What more can you ask for?

Both my kids love Goddard School! The teachers are educated, patient and kind. The administration is beyond considerate, extremely well organized and communicative. The building is well maintained and clean. We have many positive experiences here and highly recommend them. They are flexible, have been accommodating in unusual circumstances and caring.

Our child has attended The Goddard School for over four years, the last two of which has been in their preschool / pre-K program. She has learned so much during her time at the school and developed wonderful relationships not only with other students, but with the teachers and staff as well.
The admins are always ready to answer any questions we might have, and have navigated the pandemic as wisely and safely as possible. The classrooms are well supplied and the children are provided plenty of outdoor time.

Our son has flourished at Lakeshore Montessori. His social skills have matured and the favorable environment Katrina provides has nurtured his reading and math skills beyond expectation. We’ve also developed wonderful relationships with other parents at Lakeshore, we spend time on weekends having play dates and birthdays parties.

My son has been with Ms Katrina for almost 3 years now.He learns so much each day and enjoys both school hours as well as the before and aftercare. Especially the amount of outdoor time he gets and the fun stuff the kids can do in the huge backyard are a big plus. My son learned how to ride his first bike in school,how to plant a garden, how chickens hatch,even how to sew a button on to fabric.. ! Katrina and her assistants are very dedicated and loving and always come up with interesting ways to make learning fun and exciting and teach life skills . I couldn't be happier that we found Ms Katrina and her school and will miss her when we move on to first grade.

My Children have attended the Goddard School for the last couple years and I find that the schools is very clean and inviting. The staff, both up front in the office and the teachers in the classrooms, are nothing but warm and loving to my two children. My children come home every day and tell me all about the fun and exciting projcets and activities that they do on a daily basis. They love the Goddard School!!!

Finally found that elusive combo of everything in one school: strong academics; joyful creativity; a caring, nurturing environment; and lots of outdoor play. Our son has blossomed here. We only wish we had found it earlier!

I recommend Lakeshore Montessori to anyone looking for high quality preschool in a caring, supportive environment. My son has attended for the last year and we have been extremely impressed by the curriculum and approach to learning - they have a multi-cultural classroom where he learns appreciation for other cultures, "jobs" that provide opportunities for exploration and independence, and, at 3 years old, he is excelling in beginning level reading, writing, and math. Katrina (the owner and teacher) provides individual attention to each child and provides the perfect balance of structure and freedom in the classroom. Having experienced other childcare and preschool arrangements, the thing that makes me happiest about Lakeshore is the love Katrina and the other teachers show my son. You can tell when people love what they do and truly care about each child, and that is the situation at Lakeshore. My son considers his teachers as his best friends, so you know it is a special place and I highly recommend it for other parents!
