Blue Skies is one of a kind. My family is so blessed to find this wonderful daycare for our 3 year old and infant. We have had a couple of daycare experiences including a locally owned and nationally owned facility and this place is finally our home because of the caring staff and creative environment. The cottage infant/wobbler facility is an adorable separate building with wonderful natural light, creative toys and plenty of interesting niches to explore. The cottage staff is knowledgeable about RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) which we were looking for as it has been an approach for raising confident and peaceful infants since the '70s. The preschool room and pre-k/kindergarten room include play areas with natural materials (wood, cloth, books, puppets, art materials, kitchen stuff, etc.). The staff's calm approach along with the outdoor play times (ALL YEAR LONG) create a healthy, learning environment. We (parents) provide the food which I think is great as I know exactly what our children are served. Everyone is unique and bringing your own food is an excellent way of showing this.

Pros: Experienced, peaceful staff. Creative learning environment. Affordable.

Cons: None

For many years I drove past Blue Skies and Butterfiles on my way to work and I thought 'what a quaint and charming school, I wish my daughter went to school there and could be so close to where I work'. Blue Skies is nestled beneath giant evergreens, with a covered play area (perfect for the Northwest), an outdoor playground and sweet gardens with a main building and "cottage". I thought for sure this jewel of Beaverton was unattainable for our family....but one day I ventured in. I met with Richa (the school's director and owner) and talked with her about my daughter and our needs for daycare and schooling. What a fortunate meeting! After our meeting, Richa phoned us and stated her desire for our daughter (Kenzie) to become a part of the Blue Skies family. We discussed tuition...VERY reasonable...but I was unsure of pulling my daughter out of her current program. Richa asked that I bring Kenzie by for a 2 hour "let's have her here and see how she likes it" kind of deal. Well, I brought my daughter to the school and 2 hours later when I picked her up, the decision had been made...Blue Skies became my daughter's new school. Kenzie has been attending Blue Skies for the past 2 1/2 years and our family could not be more happy or satisfied, so much so that this year we opted to keep her at the school for private Kindergarten rather than "reap" the financial benefit of not having to pay for her Pre-K year. This is a school that is vested in your child, that wants to see your child excel, that offers love, support and commitment to what you cherish most...your child. I am thankful everyday I ventured into this quaint little school on Davis Street......I hope you do the same.
