Schools in Clackamas, OR

“We could not be more happy with our experience at Goddard. I had so much anxiety about having someone else watch my child and the teachers and support staff here are amazing. They truly care about your child and go above and beyond to meet them where they are, support their growth, and ready them for elementary school. Our son has become more confident, more comfortable in social settings, and really enjoys learning at school. The front office staff is truly phenomenal, they are always there for any and all questions, communicate clearly, and make an effort to know every child in the school. We feel so fortunate that our child's first school experience was here at Goddard.”

“We had two kiddos (1 & 2.5 when they started) at Cadence Academy Preschool in Clackamas for a little over a year and we highly recommend it!

The teachers are kind, patient, and love the kids so much. My son literally tells us that his favorite teacher, Leslie A., is his best friend! Nancy and Alisha are wonderful directors who are communicative and truly care about creating an environment where I felt safe leaving my kids. When my son was having a particularly rough patch with the terrible 3's, everyone worked with us to find solutions to help guide him through that phase. This is just an example of how collaborative, supportive, and attentive the entire staff at Cadence is, and it left a lasting impression on us.

The classrooms are clean, the teachers provide great updates throughout the day with tons of photos via email/app, and the kids come home happy. We are no longer with Cadence because we moved away, but we would've kept the kiddos there until graduation if we had the chance. Thanks for everything, Cadence!”

“We’ve been part of the Sunnyside KinderCare family for nearly seven years now, with four of our children growing and learning through their program—and we truly couldn’t be more grateful. While we’ve seen changes over the years in directors, teachers, and support staff, the one thing that has remained consistent is the genuine care, warmth, and involvement they bring to every child and family.

Anytime we’ve raised concerns or had feedback, it’s been met with professionalism, compassion, and a clear desire to improve and support—not just our children, but our entire family. They are committed to maintaining a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment, and they truly follow through.

Even during the most uncertain times—like the height of COVID—KinderCare stayed incredibly communicative, flexible, and supportive. They go above and beyond, regularly hosting family events and creating a real sense of community. Every teacher knows our names and our kids’ names—it really does feel like an extension of home.

The KinderCare app is also amazing! It gives us real-time updates, daily notes, and adorable photos that let us feel connected to their day even when we can’t be there. It’s one of my favorite parts of pick-up time—scrolling through their little adventures.

To all the staff at Sunnyside KinderCare: thank you for everything. You’re doing an amazing job, and we’re forever thankful. We absolutely recommend Sunnyside to any family looking for a loving, dependable, and joyful place for their children to grow.”
