We are committed to providing a curriculum that centers community, love, and nature. We believe in nurturing creative minds that become able to be emotionally intelligent, effective problem solving and socially conscious. In our curriculum we explore the different areas of the wellness wheel and how that relates to all developmental areas of growth for a child. We also focus on the sciences, arts and nature as a fundamental part fo a child’s development.

We are a Spanish immersion program. We have a 90/10 rule where 90% of our day is in Spanish and 10% in English. We support children in developing Spanish to communicate with other children and the care providers

We are open Monday through Friday from 6am-6pm.

We close on all major holidays, one week for spring break, one week for professional development in the summer, and two weeks for winter break.

Once your child is enrolled we will share with you a yearly calendar of all our closures and special events.

We are open to caring for:

• infants (6 weeks to 12 months)

• toddlers (12 months to 3 years)

• preschool age (3 to 5 years)

• school age (5 to 12 years)

We provide full-time, part-time, and before and after school care.

We are on the bus route to Parklane Elementary and can provide school bus pick up and drop off for school aged children.

We offer breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack as part of your child’s care.

We also have a full staff with background checks, training and are fully approved by the Oregon Childcare Licensing Board.

We accept ERDC payments
