  Our kiddo loves Harwell school. We have been attending since early 2025, and have had consistently positive experiences with the teachers, curriculum, communication, and care given to our little one. Ms Krista and the staff make our daughter feel welcome and cared for, and she is excited everyday at drop off for “playground,” her friends, and of course “breakfast.” Couldn’t ask for more.

  This place is a true joke of an establishment. I'm extremely disappointed with how this daycare has changed since the new ownership took over. What used to feel like a safe, caring environment has clearly gone downhill in a big way. The outdoor area is especially concerning, it's frankly unsafe for children considering how close it is to the main road. That alone should be a major red flag for any parent considering this place. On top of that, the way the owners and management conduct themselves with both staff and families is unacceptable. Their rudeness and lack of professionalism create an uncomfortable atmosphere that you can feel the moment you walk in. It's hard to trust a place with your child when basic respect and communication are missing. The only bright spot is one teacher (she knows who she is ) who clearly cares deeply about the kids and does her best despite the environment. I genuinely hope she finds a better place that values her the way she deserves. Overall, this daycare has become a shadow of what it once was. I would strongly advise other parents to look elsewhere. your child deserves better than this. Update (June 2026): anything they reply with toward my review I’m posting is an absolute lie. My sources have confirmed This place is still a joke.

  I need to express my serious concern and frustration regarding the abrupt notice of the daycare’s closure. Providing such short notice is unacceptable and places an unfair and significant burden on families who rely on your services to maintain their work and daily responsibilities. They sent out notices about closure or change with very little warning. For working parents who rely on consistent, dependable childcare, this kind of short notice is not just inconvenient—it creates real stress and disruption. What makes this even more frustrating is the costly amount we pay for childcare. We invest a significant portion of our income with the expectation of reliability, professionalism, and basic consideration. Instead, we’re left scrambling to adjust our work schedules or find last-minute alternatives—something that’s not always possible. Reliable childcare isn’t just a service—it’s a necessity. When a daycare fails to provide timely communication, it undermines trust and puts parents in a very difficult position. I strongly urge the management to reconsider their policies and provide more reasonable notice so families can plan accordingly.

  I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Harwell School. Since my daughter started attending in October 2024, she has absolutely thrived. This was her very first childcare experience, and as a parent, I was understandably nervous—especially after moving to Oregon just a year ago. But from the very beginning, Ms. Sheri did an incredible job assuring us that she was in good hands. Her kindness, communication, and gentle nature gave me the peace of mind I didn’t even know I needed. And now, I truly know I made the right choice. The love, patience, and genuine care the entire staff shows is something you feel the moment you step through the doors. They don’t just care for the children—they nurture them, encourage them, and help them blossom. They do an amazing job at sending pictures and updates throughout the entire day as well. One day at her brother’s soccer practice, she spotted a bee and calmly told me, “Don’t worry, Mom. Bees don’t eat you. They eat pollen from flowers so they can make honey. That’s what Miss Brit told me.” In that moment, I felt such pride—not just in her growth, but in the environment that helped shape it. She was also fully potty trained at Harwell, something I was nervous about, and now she amazes me daily with how much she’s learned. A special thank you to Ms. Dianne as well—she does a wonderful job staying involved with the families. She’s always patient, understanding, and makes us feel truly safe and supported. Knowing that there are people like her guiding our little ones means the world to me. My only concern is that one day she’ll grow up and have to move on from Harwell. This place has become such a special part of our lives, and we are forever grateful for the love and care they’ve poured into our future scholar!

  Love Mari’s Little Lambs! My son in almost two, went to Goddard for about 6 months and never wanted me to leave him. After about three weeks at Mari’s my son would run off and never look back. I could go on and on about how this is so much better then the last place but most of all, seeing the photos of my son all day shows me how truly happy he is there, he ALWAYS has a huge genuine smile. I know they are actually doing the activities because they send photos all day long of the kids doing the activities and having so much fun. The director and every teacher are so kind, Iv already seen some kiss my son on the forehead in just the first month like he’s their own son which I love because it makes me feel good knowing he’s loved there.

  We have been at MLL Jenkins since it opened and have had great experience in the toddler room with three amazing teachers Sherri, Margarita and Brit that our son is excited to see everyday. We also love the Director Diane who has been great to partner with on our kiddos journey.
