All staff members go above and beyond to take the correct measures to maintain children’s safety.  They are doing more than expected to maintain the safety of all children.
Kennewick Clubhouse Preschool Parent

We couldn’t be happier with the staff at Kennewick Preschool.  They have the best communication and are always so caring.  They update us regularly on how our child is doing developmentally, socially, etc as well as just sharing all of the fun things they are doing.
Kennewick Clubhouse Preschool Parent

We have watched our son grow tremendously through the Preschool program. Great staff, great lesson plans, and he has so much fun every day.
