“Our daughter asks to go to school on the weekends! She's made wonderful friendships, and comes home happy, and tired at the end of the day.”
-Jenni, mom of two
“A mi hija le gusta mucho asistir a la escuela con ustedes ella se siente segura ahí con todas las maestras, todas las maestras que trabajan ahí son muy amables y profesionales e visto en mi hija mucho avance y aprendizaje, a ella le encanta estar en preescolar no quiere faltar ni un día, y la verdad mi hija aprendió mucho de ustedes gracias por la paciencia que le tienen a todos los niños con ustedes, mis respetos porque se que es muy difícil trabajar con los niños pequeños, y lo e visto en mi hija que es un preescolar de mucha enseñanza para los pequeños. Muchas gracias, Hope Harbor, por la oportunidad que le dieron a mi hija.”
-Delia, mamá de tres hijos
“Hope Harbor is more than a preschool. It is a vital part of our community that gives children the freedom to be fully themselves while feeling deeply safe, valued, and loved.”
-Jessica, mom of two
"Our family absolutely loves Hope Harbor Children's Center in Friday Harbor, WA. The staff is warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about child development. From the moment you walk in, the environment feels inviting, intentional, and clean.
What sets Hope Harbor apart is how thoughtfully the space is designed for children of all needs and energy levels. There's a calm, quiet area for rest and regulation, wonderful outdoor access for nature-based exploration and play, and a constantly evolving space dedicated to imaginative, play-based learning — exactly the kind of environment early childhood research supports. Hope Harbor Children's Center is a true gem for families in our community."
-Collin, dad of two
“One of the most meaningful things about Hope Harbor is watching my boys feel free to explore, play, and engage with the world around them without being told they were ‘too much.’”
-Lisa, mom of two
“A huge thank you for everything; my son loves going to preschool, and the best part is knowing he is happy and safe there. Thank you so much, you do an excellent job as teachers.”
-First-time mom of a 2.5-year-old
“Estamos profundamente agradecidos con Hope Harbor Children’s Center, y especialmente con cada uno de los maestros y maestras. Nuestro hijo ha sido muy feliz allí; le encanta y disfruta de cada experiencia. Al principio fue un gran desafío para él, ya que no conocía ni entendía el idioma cuando comenzó, pero hoy estamos profundamente agradecidos por todo el progreso que ha logrado.
Ver cómo se ilumina su rostro de felicidad cada vez que lo recogemos y escucharlo contarnos con entusiasmo sobre su día nos llenan de alegría y satisfacción. Sabemos que Emilio está en el mejor lugar, rodeado de personas que lo han apoyado, guiado y cuidado con cariño.
Simplemente queremos agradecer a todos los maestros y maestras que han hecho esto posible. Sin duda, este es el mejor lugar para confiar a quienes más amamos.”
—Ana y Benjamin, padres de tres hijos
“I highly recommend Hope Harbor! Not only do they ensure my son has a happy and peaceful day, but they also provide a safe environment. I am so pleased that the teachers are excellent and truly dedicated to their work. I am amazed by the progress my son has made, learning colors, numbers, and more.
I love receiving all the little keepsakes, paintings, drawings, and the like, to take home; that is definitely the best part. My son loves every one of his teachers. He has picked up English very quickly, even though he is learning both English and Spanish. I appreciate how the teachers adapt to each child's individual needs and level of understanding.”
-First-time mom
“Hope Harbor stands out as an exceptional provider of early childhood education—offering not only academic excellence, but also a loving, inclusive environment where every child is seen, valued, and encouraged to thrive. Hope Harbor’s approach to learning reflects values that are dear to Saint David’s: compassion, curiosity, integrity, and respect for the dignity of every human being.
We are proud to partner with Hope Harbor and to bring to St. David’s the meaningful impact their programs have on young lives. Hope Harbor’s dedication to fostering a strong foundation for lifelong learning and character development makes them a vital and trusted addition to our community.”
