Multicultural Children Center - Port Orchard (WA)

5 /5 Dianna Lee: LOVE the Multicultural Childrens Center here in Port Orchard! As a mother of four children, I have utilized many different types of childcare services including nannys and have never found a more supportive, caring and educational environment for my children. My child has several food allergies and the staff here are kind enough to go out of their way to make sure he has daily meals catered specifically to his dietary restrictions, which are many and sometimes changing. Overall, we are feeling very blessed to have such a wonderful home away from home right here in our community! The staff are beyond amazing and wonderful people to whom our family is so absolutely grateful for, always going above and beyond to provide the best for our children. My child loves it here and always has positive things to say about teachers and friends at school.

5 /5 Jenna Ryan: I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Multicultural Children’s Center. My daughter has been attending this program now for some time, and it has been a truly transformative experience for her. One of the standout aspects of the center is its bilingual program. My daughter now speaks more clearly in English and has started speaking some Spanish, which has been such a joy to witness. The program’s approach to teaching language feels natural and immersive, allowing children to begin picking up a second language while having fun and interacting with their peers. The structure of the program is another key highlight. Some parents may feel that the level of structure isn’t for them, but I personally find it invaluable. The teachers provide consistent guidance and support to help the children make good choices every day. This structure has given my daughter reassurance and a sense of security, which I believe has been critical to her growth. She is thriving in this environment, learning to follow routines, and developing great habits that will serve her well for years to come. Since starting at the center, my daughter has blossomed in so many ways. She’s become much less picky about food, trying new dishes and eating a much more varied diet than before. I’ve also noticed her confidence grow as she builds friendships and navigates her daily activities. The staff at the center are truly exceptional, but special recognition goes to Ruth and Leanne. They have become like family to my daughter, and we will deeply miss their warmth, care, and incredible dedication. Their ability to connect with the children on such a personal level is unmatched. Unfortunately, we are moving to New York, and leaving this center will be one of the hardest parts of our transition. It’s not easy to find a childcare program that combines bilingual education, a structured environment, and a nurturing staff so seamlessly. I can wholeheartedly recommend Multicultural Children’s Center to any family looking for a place where their child can learn, grow, and thrive.

5 /5 Jessica Outlaw: I cannot say enough about this place. Our daughter has attended this school full time for a year now and soon she will move on to Kindergarten MORE than prepared to excel and flourish. A few things we love, though there are too many to name: Qualified and caring staff Bilingual (Spanish) curriculum Hands on activities / cultural experiences SAFE setting with locked doors and clear procedures Excellent parent/teacher communication Easy to use App that keeps us informed throughout the day Routines that encourage good behavior If you need childcare/preschool for your little ones I 100% recommend this place. You will not be disappointed!

5 /5 ani raM: It’s impossible to express in words how wonderful this Childcare is. The teachers work very hard and diligently, they take care of the children as of their own, they are attentive to details, attentive to the food, and the most important thing is education, which is of high quality. Children are taught, so you can see that they are engaged in the program. My daughter comes home, sings songs, tells stories in Spanish, and also counts in Spanish. I also see very good change in my childs behavior, good manners, and the way she interacts with other children. I am thankful to the staff, for their patience, hard work and Love for the children. I am also incredibly glad that I found this school and that there was an available spot for my child.

5 /5 Alana Jaress: Ms. Ruth and the team at the Multicultural Children Center have been a dream for me and my daughter. We joined soon after it opened and they have helped my kiddo academically, behaviorally, and emotionally -- each step looking to work to explore individual options that work best for all parties. My daughter also loves it. There are always fun activities and new hands-on learning opportunities, songs, and celebrations. The school also has a great sense of community that we love, something Ms. Ruth works hard to foster and we have made life long friends. We started this school to improve my daughters Spanish and stayed for everything mentioned above (and now she can read in Spanish and is thriving)! We will be so sad when it is time to leave...
