Mountain Bluebird Learning Center 105 East Indiana Avenue, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83801

"Mountain Bluebird is the best! Our son went there for preschool and prekindergarten. The teachers are incredible and he learned so much during his time there. We appreciated the level of communication They helped me navigate everything from separation anxiety to napping away from home to potty training. My son is thriving in kindergarten thanks to the foundation he got at Mountain Bluebird. I highly recommend!"

"I started with Mt. Bluebird when they just opened. My son was 2 and we were in great need. My son enjoyed loving care and learning until he was 5 when he went to Kindergarten. I always felt his needs were met and I when issues did arise I felt they were handled with respectful and staff was responsive. There will always be some issue to deal with. Especially over a 3 year period. My only concern was following the CDA school schedule. Not having child care every M-F at times was difficult. That would be the only thing I would of changed. Thank you for taking care of our most precious resource."

"I wish I could give Mountain Bluebird more than 5 stars. We moved back to CDA after being gone for a year and it was a very hard transition for the kids. I was worried about my son having to go into a new preschool and meet all new people after this big move. The staff at Mountain Bluebird welcomed him into a loving and fun atmosphere that made him want to go back each and every day. His teachers were knowledgeable, caring, fun, and made him feel loved. Every day he had something exciting to share about what he learned and the friends he played with. It was a better experience than I ever could have imagined and truly changed the course for him, getting him prepared to take on Kindergarten. He still talks about Mountain Bluebird and his teachers there. We are forever grateful."

"One of my children spent half a year at Mountain Bluebird before he went to kindergarten, hiking Tubbs Hill, running lemonade stands, learning fire safety and growing vegetables under the adoring watch of his teacher Ms. Sarah (who he idolizes and still visits every chance he gets!). His Bluebird buddies are some of his closest friends even still, a few years on in elementary school. Almost two years later, his little brother started in the toddler room, and the teachers were the same people (an amazing testament by itself). It felt like coming back home! Our littlest guy's language skills have exploded under the warm guidance and care of Ms. Becca. I get multiple photos of our little guy a day through the app, and actual updates about what he is doing and learning. A big part of my social circle consists of other Bluebird parents (and alumni parents) thanks to the events the school hosts and the friendships our children have made. Childcare is a very personal decision for each family. We tried other daycares locally before our youngest was old enough for Bluebird. They were not for us. I am grateful every single day to be able to take my two year old to a place where he is safe, is learning age appropriate social emotional skills, and comes home singing songs he's learned at school. Ashley has done a beautiful job building this school, and I could not recommend Mountain Bluebird more highly."

"I have 2 children that have been attending Mountain Bluebird for several months. The teachers here are phenomenal! It is obvious that they love the children in their care. Both of my children are excited to go to school everyday to see their teachers and friends. There is a big emphasis on emotional development, kindness and safety. They come home with art projects and fun stories about their day. My older child’s class goes for weekly walks/field trips! Her teachers have worked hard to make sure she is prepared for kindergarten. They have also encouraged her love of art. My younger child’s class is always singing songs, getting exercise and has themed days. I get several pictures and updates throughout the day. The teachers always take time to tell me how the day went during pick up. Communication is great! The center always smells clean! The toys are very intentional and promote imagination. It has been difficult in the past for me to trust anyone to care for my children. The teachers at Bluebird made it much easier."
