St. Andrew Nature Preschool 5607 Northeast Gher Road, Vancouver, WA 98662

"As former preschool teacher, I can attest that this is a wonderful preschool. Children there are getting an extraordinary experience that promotes natural creativity, problem solving, socialization and gets them ready for the next stages of their education. And it looks like a lot of fun."

"Nature based preschool. Caring staff and teachers, outdoor play. Going outside rain or shine teaches the children how to enjoy nature and play safely outside in the PNW. "Two and You" class offered for children under 3 for caregivers and child to do Montessori style play indoors and outdoor play, learning together. Reasonable prices and you often get invited to other family friendly church events and services."

"Attending the "Two & You" class at St. Andrews Preschool has been an absolute delight for my daughter and I. One of the best parts? Your child doesn't need to be two years old—just walking! These engaging classes span two hours, split between indoor and outdoor activities, rain or shine. Witnessing the children revel in jumping puddles and crafting mud pies in the fantastic mud kitchen has been a joyous sight. St. Andrews is undoubtedly a hidden gem. Watching the little ones form friendships while attending classes has been heartwarming. A special acknowledgment goes to Miss Kayla, whose dedication shines through in each session. Her creation of themed sensory bins and introduction of fresh, engaging activities speaks volumes about her commitment to making every class an exciting experience for the children. We even have collective goals for us parents. For example: Narrating what our children are actively doing. Getting to know the other parents also fosters a wonderful sense of community. St. Andrews Preschool has been a tremendous blessing to our family, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone seeking a vibrant and nurturing environment for their little ones. Reach out today and inquire! You will not regret it."

"We've had 2 boys enrolled at St.Andrews, they both absolutely loved their time at the school. The staff is amazing, they all treat every child like they would their own. There is constant communication between teachers and parents, daily updates and lots of pictures of in class activities. The curriculum offers a wide variety of lessons, between basic alphabet and numbers to Spanish and gardening in the back gardens. 10 out of 10 recommend."

"My youngest attended St. Andrew Preschool, and now as a kindergartner, STILL talks about his former teachers! He always asks to go visit them when we drive by the school. Creative teachers and an open door policy, where parents can get involved made for such an amazing experience for our family. It's play based and child led, but the teachers create really creative curriculum that incorporates nature, community, art, and dramatic play that utilizes students' fine and gross motor skills. I so wish we would have found St. Andrew a year earlier so my kiddo would have gotten one more year there!"
