Palisades has been the ultimate blessing. I moved my family to Spokane last month from the east coast. Palisades have been there for us the entire way. My children (5 and 3) started two weeks ago. They already love their teachers and friends. They get home telling my wife and I all about their day. We are beyond grateful. Thank you.

All of my children attended PCLC. The caring and supportive staff are invaluable.
Our youngest spent preschool and pre-k at PCLC. We are so grateful for the delightful, loving and academic environment they provided. He was able to form a solid foundation academically, and was fully prepared to enter kindergarten. Most importantly, his experience at PCLC helped establish a love for school that has carried through into grade school. Even now, he still runs into school every morning with excitement for the day.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been such a joy to welcome your family to Spokane and to PCLC. We are so happy to hear that your children are already feeling loved, connected, and excited about their days with us. Helping families feel supported during a big transition means so much to us, and we are truly grateful to be part of this new chapter for your family. 💛

Daughter attended for both pre-school and Pre-K years. One of the best decisions this first time Mom could have made. The care, curriculum and attention given to the students exceeded my expectations. From the Director to the individual teachers my daughter was always excited for her day. It's so much more than a "day care/care center". They explored music, art, language, faith and relationship building through crafts, guest speakers and performances.
100% value added above and beyond the cost which is super reasonable and can't even compare to what you pay for a traditional day care. PCLC is a hidden gem in Spokane. Daughter still runs over to to say hi to her old teachers.
