The ICRS Kindergarten readiness program focuses on developing children academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually, in a loving environment as they prepare to transition from preschool to kindergarten
Parent Testimonial: "As parents that are also educators, we feel that ICRS is an investment in our child's future. We see 8th grade graduates leave ICRS knowing how to "student" and they out-perform their peers in high school academically and socially. We were happy to send our child to kindergarten knowing the potential to be involved in service projects, outdoor education, and STEM programs that are available to him beyond the outstanding academic and religious curriculums." ~Kiera W.

Parent Testimonial: "Promising Futures has changed my mind about daycares. As I became a mom I didn’t want my kiddos in the daycare system. Quickly learning that wouldn’t be an option I looked for child care centers. Promising Futures was the one I fell in love with. Mackenzie and staff set a standard of excellence. Their staff is remarkable, caring and loving. They don’t only care about the children but also their families as a whole. I would choose Promising Futures a thousand times over." ~Raven B.

We serve primarily working families and accept DSHS and WCC in addition to private pay funding. We are an inclusive school and welcome a very diverse group of families within our classrooms, and have a strict non-discrimination policy.
Parent Testimonial: "We are so happy we found SAP. By the second day, everyone (even teachers from the other rooms) greeted our daughter by name. I love that I can stop by at any time and see what my child is doing. The staff is professional, approachable, and the opportunities for parents to get involved has helped make our solution to childcare feel more like a community. After all, it takes a village, and we found our village with SAP!" ~Carlyn K.
