We are located at 3430 SW Palatine St. in Portland. 

We accept preschoolers who will be between 3 and 5 on September 1, 2023.  We occasionally accept students into our preschool program before their third birthday.

Generally, your child is ready for preschool if they can:

-be responsible for their own toileting

We are currently operating under a Certified Family License.

No. Our community thrives on consistency of expectations, teachers, and students. Currently, we offer M-Th programming for half-day, full-day, and extended-day students. Working with your child daily allows us to build the relationship we need to help them reach their full potential!
