Crestview, Bright Beginnings hold open house

MOSES LAKE — Crestview Christian School and Bright Beginnings Early Learning Center held an open house March 13. The public was invited to tour the classrooms and see what the schools have to offer, and there were crafts and games for the children. 

“It was really fun,” said principal Debbie Freeman. “We had all the rooms decorated for a circus theme.” 

Crestview is a small Christian school operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and open to children of all backgrounds. The enrollment is 14 students in kindergarten through eighth grade, with two teachers. It’s fully accredited and the students take the same standardized tests that public school students do, Freeman told the Columbia Basin Herald in an interview last fall. 

Bright Beginnings has around 8-10 children, Freeman said in October. It provides day care as well as before- and after-school care for children 12 months through 12 years old.  

“We had parents from the school side going to the Bright Beginnings side because they’d never seen the daycare,” Freeman said. “And we had the daycare parents coming to the school side to see what the school was all about. 

Both Crestview Christian School and Bright Beginnings Early Learning Center have space for more students, Freeman said. More information is available at www.crestviewadventist.org.
