Kinger Kids Day School

Harwell has been a blessing for our daughter. Miss Emily and miss Renee are so wonderful to interact with and they communicate everything with us about our daughter throughout the day on procare. Our daughter has done great with the curriculum and loves her teachers. Highly recommend Harwell school.

We had a deeply troubling experience with Harwell Preschool in Oregon City that ultimately led us to remove our daughter from the program. While attending this preschool, our daughter was assaulted by another child in the restroom. A boy should never have been in the bathroom with her in the first place, let alone allowed to hit her. The most alarming part is that staff never reported this incident to us. This is something that should have been addressed and communicated to parents immediately, and it was not. Prior to this incident, there were already ongoing concerns about lack of honest communication and integrity. On multiple occasions, our child was unclothed and redressed at school. While we understand this may sometimes be necessary with young children, parent notification should have been a priority, and it repeatedly was not. Additionally, updates provided through the school’s app (such as meal completion and daily activities) were often inaccurate. We would arrive to pick up our child and find that the information reported did not reflect reality, which further eroded our trust. After the restroom incident, we made the decision to withdraw our daughter for her safety. Despite this, the school continued to bill us as if she were still attending, placing the responsibility on us to notify them—while they themselves failed to notify us of a serious safety incident that directly caused her withdrawal. Trust, transparency, and child safety are non-negotiable for parents. Unfortunately, those standards were not met here.

I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to the teachers of Harwell School for the support and care they provided to my daughter Luna during her stay. At first, my daughter was very shy and had difficulty adapting, but thanks to the dedication and patience of the teachers, she was able to develop new skills and confidence. During difficult times that we faced as a family, the team at Harwell School proved to be an invaluable support. The application they use to keep us informed about the progress and daily activities of our children was very useful and allowed us to be calm knowing that my daughter was in good hands. We are deeply grateful for the help and care that you provided. Your professionalism and dedication are truly admirable. I highly recommend you to any family looking for a safe and stimulating place for their children.

My daughter and son have been going to Harwell since they were four month old and I could not have asked for a better Daycare. They do everything from fun activities to creative art projects. Mrs. Emily is Amazing and makes sure my daughter is ready for Kindergarten. Miss. Renee has been fabulous with our son, helping him with potty training and getting so excited about building and exploring. The team is wonderful and we feel safe know our children are in great hands.

Harwell school has been a great environment for my two children to have in their lives. Ms. Emily and Ms. Renee have been absolutely amazing teachers. They have taken the time to really get to know all of the children in their classes and build a truly special bond with them, giving my children the confidence to continue to grow and learn outside of the home. I am truly appreciative that my children had the opportunity to learn and create great first memories of school due to Ms. Emily and Ms. Renee's drive to educate while having fun.
