  I found this preschool to be caring and nurturing, and the teachers and director were hard working and very involved in making sure all the kids had a great learning experience. My daughter felt safe at the school and is definitely ready for kindergarten. I will add that this is a play-based school, so if you and your child desire more structure, it might not be the place for you, but it was exactly what we were looking for in a preschool.

  This school is a joke. Before enrolling my son, my wife met with the staff members of this school. The "principle" had over fourteen years of experience and made it quite clear she could handle any "difficult" students. Her staff was comprised of new faculty, and the one responsible for my sons preschool education was in the middle of teaching her first year. His direct teacher would speak to my wife and I as if we were children, ordering us to speak to our son if something happened in class. It is very easy to tell when a person does not like another person, and this was so evident in my sons interactions with his teacher it made me sick. I feel extremely strongly that this school's first year teachers were unable to even handle a child who at times can be trying of ones patience. I understand completely my son can be a handful, although what child doesn't at some point become difficult? My son does not have any mental issues. He is a 4 year old and has the attention span to pair with his age. No child of that age is a perfect listener and perfect specimen of humanity. They make mistakes. I feel my son's teacher did not like him on a personal level, and did not know how to handle the situation. In my opinion from their interactions and her interactions with me, she set him up for failure in order to have him leave the classroom. When the school eventually had enough "evidence" to ask him to not return to class the "principle" told this to my face, and even though it was sugar coated and full of fake kindness it was done to my face which I appreciated. What I do not appreciate is her then telling a bold faced lie to my wife in person saying he was still in class, and that all four of us (my wife, the principle, the teacher, and myself) would sit a a conference to further discuss the situation. The principle later called my wife stating "how sorry" she was that the school board made the decision to have him not attend anymore. I do not have an issue with first year teachers, and I have great respect for people who teach childhood education. My issue is the way my son was singled out due to his teachers dislike of him, and the condescending and disrespectful tone his teacher used when speaking to adults. I witnessed her poor communication skills with other adults as well as myself. I believe the school tried in the beginning, but when my son didn't conform exactly like the " good kids" he was on the inevitable chopping block to be kicked out. The grand excuse used was the school and my son were simply not a good fit. If this was the case, he would not have been asked to leave the classroom thirteen days before the end of the school year. I would not recommend this school. There are plenty of better options in the Lacey area that I feel would work with your child on a much deeper level of understanding than St Andrews.

  My daughter went to St Andrews Preschool 5 yrs ago. I loved it so much that I was able to get a spot for my son 5 years later. I recommend SAP to every parent I meet that is looking for a preschool. The environment is nurturing on several levels. It is a very well rounded preschool. They work with the kids on a social level and it is a great introduction on how they need to interact when they enter kindergarten. I have volunteered there for different parent involvement activities and field trips. The interactions with the teachers and the kids is beyond my expectations. Always kind and caring. When kids are not getting along with other kids they work on resolving conflict with communication. It is important to start in preschool. I really cannot say enough good things about the program, the director Ms Kathy and the teachers for this year. They feel more like an extension of our family that I can trust to enrich my sons life.
