Cedar Crest Academy

Went through the admissions process for our toddler with a 250$ application fee. Before we paid the fee, got told that they have enough spaces. Eventually received notification that our son was not 'selected' for enrollment due to more than expected enrollment from existing students (the interesting part is that this is their first toddler class so there should be no existing enrollments). Seems very unprofessional for getting 'application fee' even when they knew that they would not be able to offer a place to kids and not communicating this before the application. At the minimum their admin do not communicate the expectations clearly to the parents (They should have been able to confirm re-enrollments before taking in new applications. As most of the other schools do.) and lead to such scenarios. Just to make it clear, they do mention it in their fine print that the application fee is non-refundable. But as with most schools that we have interacted with, for toddlers it is a queue. You come in first, you get the first place. Bright horizons (an equivalent preschool) takes the application fee once they can definitely offer you a place. This review is about their opaque and misleading admissions process and the huge admissions fee without any accountability.

It was a fantastic experience for our 3-year-old son to study on the Cedar Crest Academy Redmond campus. My son is so lucky to have Ms. Keri as his preschool teacher, who is so professional, passionate, creative and patient! My son enjoys every moment there and even wants to go to school even on weekends; he loves the teachers and friends here. While taking care of the children, the school is very good with early development, and teachers are impressively responsible for caring for kids and helping them develop happy learning habits. A BIG THANK YOU to Ms. Linda, Ms. Keri, Ms. Becky! And thanks to all the teachers! CCA-Redmond is a top early education school which I strongly recommend for you and your kids.

Both our kids did their pre-school from CCA. Very professional high grade start to the kids learning. CCA has a great balance between academics and extracurricular. It has been a great experience for us.
