Located at 4225 SE Woodward St. & 43rd in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Southeast Portland, our new space will house a foundational group of children ages 2 1/2 to 4 to begin our new Primary Program.

Our primary program will be in an intimate home setting for the 2013-2014 school year with two guides and ten children, then grow out to a larger space for the following year with space for a larger group of children, eventually 20 to 25 children in total.

          Merry Montessori is a four year-old home Montessori program in Southeast Portland that specializes in low impact, eco-conscious infant, toddler, and primary programs that support the whole child.  Our trained guides connect children with themselves, their peers and their world by helping them gain skills in independence, socialization and  focus.

We currently have a full infant toddler program and are excited about opening our new Primary Program in fall 2013 for ten children ages 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 and 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 (with previous Montessori experience).  Our new Primary Program will offer a Spanish-English language curriculum and experience, as we believe opening up children's language options opens up their world. 

If your child is mostly potty trained and ready to begin school in the fall we will begin offering visits to our new home program May 3rd and will host an open house May 3rd and will have an open house Saturday, June 1st from 9am to 12pm.

Hi.  My name is Chel and I am a nanny looking for families that embrace veganism.  I have many years of experience as a nanny and a teacher and wish to work with families that want to take advantage of having a vegan nanny as a reinforcement of their own values as well as having assurance that their dietary preferences will be respected.  

My philosophy about working with young children is one based on respect.  I believe that children do the best they can to make sense of the world as their bodies and minds grow and change.  My job is to provide them with the respect and guidance that they need along the way.  Bribing, punishing and shaming children is detrimental to their healthy development.   Early childhood should be a time of joy and exploration. 

If this feels like a good fit for you and your family, please contact me at chelchase@yahoo.com.

 

Thank you.

Tulip Tree Preschool is a nurturing and stimulating home space dedicated to the learning and exploring of young children ages 2.5-5. We have openings for two children 3 years or older, starting in September.  We believe that children learn most effectively and holistically in an environment where they feel loved and seen, where they can explore many different mediums of expression, and where they feel safe. We believe that children are hungry to discover their world, and have a natural creative intuition that allows them to delight in new and unexpected ideas.

Our influences include the Reggio Emilia approach, Constructivist and Emergent curriculum, as well as a strong faith in natural rhythms and processes. Using these pedagogical guides, we honor each child as unique and authentic, while simultaneously allowing for a broad sense of interconnectedness to emerge.
