We love Interlake! The teachers are such caring and warm individuals. The outdoor play space is the best - kids climb trees and dig in the sand. They have a wonderful chef that makes nutritious, vegetarian meals and the admin staff arrange events to make you feel a part of the community, too.

Interlake was a wonderful home for both of our children. We owe so much of who they are to the school. From the scratch-made vegetarian food to the vast outdoor space, Interlake was exactly the cozy and homey place our little ones needed to thrive and prepare to launch.

Great organization to work for! Lots of planning time, a paid week off between Christmas and New Years and plans for a new facility in the works.
