Our in-home classrooms provide children with plentiful and varied opportunities to construct knowledge about the broadening world around them using simple wooden toys, a plethora of art, building and storytelling materials, dress up clothes and silks, materials for light and shadow exploration and more.


Outside of the classroom, we explore our neighborhood and community through fieldtrips to gain a deeper understanding of the ideas we explore inside our classrooms.

Clara


Our teachers hold the image of each child as capable, competent, and curious and strive to meet each individual children's interests and passions with learning opportunities that inspire. It is the teacher's role to observe the children, support their learning and to gently guide them to accept challenges and solve problems. Wild Lilac teachers document the children's experiences to make their learning visible to the whole community.


Circle
At Wild Lilac, we see ourselves as a community of child and adult learners and we provide regular opportunities for parent/guardian discussions and community events for children staff and families.


Food is an important part of the culture of our school. Our cook prepares organic meals (breakfast, snack, lunch and afternoon snack) for the children that feature local and seasonal produce, whole grains, beans, and homemade breads.
Come join us for our February open house to see our spaces and learn more about our school!

Licensed family child care in NW Portland taking kids 6 months - 12 yrs old

November 20, 2011

Portland Language Art (PLA) is a new child care facility in NW Portland. It is located off Cornel Rd and NW 102nd Ave, cross street from Cedar Mill Elementary School, just outside of Forest Heights. PLA owner/operator Lillian Sun just received her child care license and will open Jan 2, 2012 (can take child sooner if you need). Lillian is a loving and caring mom, who has two boys (4 and 6). More than three years ago, when Lillian was frustrated by finding her older son a good quality preschool, she started to have this idea of having her own child care/preschool. In past three years, Lillian has visited many preschool programs, attended early childhood workshops, and done research on preschool education. The result is Portland Language Art, a new child care/preschool facility that provides children an opportunity to pick up a foreign language while he/she plays in a clean, healthy, safe and purposely prepared environment that supports learning and creativity. PLA does plan to provide multiple foreign languages in future (which helps brain development and prepare child for global market). For the time being, since Lillian is native Mandarin speaker herself, she will provide Mandarin to children. In doing her research on preschool teaching methods, Lillian was highly influenced by Montessori and Reggio Emilia approach. Lillian has designed in her mind that her program will be a Montessori based but Reggio inspired preschool program --- mixed age group, each child has own curriculum that allows child progress at own pace, but will utilized more visual arts and music which helps creativity.

Looking for "school" for 2 year old

September 28, 2011

My daughter just turned 2 and has become obsessed with the idea of going to school. We weren't planning on sending her to preschool until next year, but she's asking again and again and anytime we're out and see a preschool she tries to follow them back to school.

I work from home and am able to watch her full time, so am not looking for traditional daycare--nor do I have the budget for that. I'd love someplace she can go for 2 days or so for half days, so she can have the structure of a school-type situation and meet other kids. I have scoured the web looking for co-ops and other options and haven't really come up with much. Most places take only 3 year olds (and up) or are full day daycare situations. 

Any advice, ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Please feel free to message me at nicmmiller at gmail dot com.

Nuts About Nature Classes for Fall 2011 (Ages 3-8)

September 14, 2011

  The squirrels are nervous about our appearance - chattering angrily at us! Armed with magnifying lenses and bug boxes and spoons, we hunt and explore for whatever is lurking under rotting logs, in the bark of trees, or near the water's edge. We hike and sing and hear stories about nature, but we also create our own stories as we go - pretending to be hungry hawks chasing songbirds or coyotes on the prowl for lunch. We do not shy away from the rain, but rejoice in it with puddle stomping and soup making. We are young and energetic and curious - we are Nuts About Nature!!! Does your child want to join us?

There's still space in our SE Portland Nuts About Nature fall classes!!! For eager & curious 3-4 yr olds (Mondays or Thursdays) and 3-5 yr olds (Fridays), we offer "Lil' Nature Kids" - a small group class that includes exploration, songs, stories, and nature play. For children a bit older (4-5 yr olds) we have "Nature Preschool" (Tuesday mornings or afternoons). Nature Preschool combines developmentally appropriate preschool skills and activities with a weekly nature theme. Children learn ecological topics using hands-on activities, art, music, exploration and play. For children already in elementary school, we have "Nature's Playground" - a class for 6-7 yr olds that focuses on the needs and interests of older kids, primarily stealth games, exploration, theater, art and nature play.

Check out the full brochure online at www.portlandonline.com/parks/preschool. Contact Chrissy Larson with questions by email at chrissy.larson@portlandoregon.gov or by phone at 503-823-1149.

Free Spirit School

July 20, 2011

Freespirit_logo2
Free Spirit School is respectful and fun alternative school/childcare for children ages 4-12 in a unique setting.  The hours are from 10am - 2pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. 

Children in our care enjoy stories, active outdoor adventure, healthy snacks, art exploration, and just general hanging out together and having fun.  We help follow passions and interests, and play outside in all kinds of weather - caring for the animals, getting into sand and water, shooting hoops, riding bikes, tending the garden and so much more!

Our priority at Free Spirit is to facilitate communication between the various ages in ways that meet everyone's needs for respect and safety, with no punishments or conditional rewards of any kind. 

When there are conflicts or tears, we listen to feelings, offer empathy, and brainstorm solutions - modeling peaceful conflict resolution. Children feel respected even when they don't get exactly what they want, and therefore feel more open to communication and compromise.

Emily Troper has been studying Child Development for over 15 years, and is a Parent Educator and a Postpartum Doula. She is the mother of 4 children, and is influenced and inspired by the work of Alfie Kohn, Gordon Neufeld, Bev Bos, Maria Montessori, Pam Leo, Larry J. Cohen, and of course her own family.

Childswork Learning Center has a few openings left for summer camps and Fall classes

About Childswork

Childswork Learning Center is a non-profit early childhood education school located in Southeast Portland, Oregon. Since 1984, our school has served a diverse population of children and families, focusing on the development of the whole child with respect and compassion.

Childswork is a safe place for children to explore, take chances, make messes and learn through play. At Childswork we nurture wonder, we embrace joy, and we foster discovery.

DSC_0251

Mission & Philosophy

Mission Statement:

Childswork Learning Center is a community dedicated to excellence in developmentally appropriate early childhood education, where each child and family is respected in an environment that supports lifelong learners.

Our Philosophy:

Play is a child’s work. Play is a child’s response to life. It is the way children discover themselves and the world around them.

Our Core Values:

  • We appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of human development.
  • We believe in aligning curriculum and practices with current child development research.
  • We value and support the bond between the child and family.
  • We recognize that children are best understood and supported in the context of family, culture, community and society.
  • We respect the dignity, worth and uniqueness of every individual.
  • We embrace diversity in children, families and colleagues.
  • We believe that children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships that are based on trust and respect.
  • We recognize all members of the community as lifelong learners.
  • We engage in direct dialogue and problem solving in our community.

DSC_1119

Curriculum

Our curriculum is a natural extension of our community’s view of children. We view children as unique and competent learners, capable of investigation and problem solving. As such, we provide a play-based, developmentally appropriate environment in which we build an emergent and constructivist curriculum with our students.

In an emergent curriculum, investigation topics “emerge” from our students. We observe children in order to identify interests and select topics as a class. In supported small and large group settings, we explore concepts in a hands-on manner. Our investigations are shaped by the students’ decision making; children truly learn how to learn.

Our teachers use their strong knowledge of child development to support children’s learning and play. Teachers observe and structure the environment to encourage wonder, discovery and meaningful learning.

Childswork’s curriculum was also founded on the inspirational work of Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky and Reggio Emilia. Their influence is still alive and well in our classrooms today.

Childswork adheres to the Oregon Early Childhood Foundations (PDF), which are woven into our curriculum.

DSC_0593

Classes

Parent-Child Twos Class

The Parent-Child Twos class is a gentle introduction to the routines of preschool with the reassurance of a parent close by. The two-hour class is structured to include playtime with parents and other children, snack time, story time, choice time and circle time. During part of the class parents gather in one area of the room to discuss parenting issues and challenges with a positive support group. Each class will have a Parent Coach to lead discussions with the adults and a Toddler Teacher to work with the children. There will be a maximum of 10 children/parents in the class. To register, please fill out the Parent-Child Registration form.

2.7 - 3 Year Old Classes (children who turn 3 by December 31st)

What a wonderful beginning to your child’s preschool experience! This class for our young learners has a ratio of 6:1 with two teachers. Our play-based philosophy is balanced with introducing children to some of the routines of a typical school day with circle time, choice time, snack time and outdoor time. This class supports the transition from parallel to beginning cooperative play. Self-help skills are taught as the children learn how to become more independent. This class is available MWF or TTH.

3 Year Old Classes

Our three year old class provides a fabulous opportunity for children to explore, investigate and create. The world is a big adventure at this age. Our teachers follow their student’s lead in developing a curriculum that embraces their needs and interests. This class also guides children with their social-emotional development and helps lay a foundation for success. This class has a ratio of 8:1 with two teachers. This class is available MWF or TTH

4-5 Year Old Classes

In this age group there is a greater ability for children to work together, to create a community and to cooperate. These skills are incorporated into our emergent curriculum as we work on projects together that meet their interests. At this age literacy and numeracy are also woven into the play-based curriculum as a means, not an ends to achieving their goals. Social-emotional development and conflict resolution skills are essential at this stage, especially as children are developing new skills for group interaction. This class has a ratio of 9:1 with two teachers. Classes are offered three, four or five days a week.

Mixed-age class

Mixed-age interaction among young children can offer a variety of developmental benefits to all participants. Blended-age groups can have unique benefits, facilitating and enriching children's development. Just as with our other groups, our emergent curriculum guides our daily exploration. Our mixed age classes are offered two, three, four and five days a week with a ratio of 8:1 or 9:1, depending on the mix of students, and two teachers.

Great Nanny Available

April 13, 2011

Hi Mamas, My name is Sara and I am a great nanny with strong references looking for a new family to work with starting any time (sooner than later.) I am also happy to accommodate a nanny share. 

I have experience with infants, toddlers and preschoolers and like to get the kids out for outings daily. We like to do the usual suspects such as OMSI, Zoo, Children's Museum, library, parks etc. and also look for less common things such as botanical gardens, Audubon Society, CHAP Art Factory, paint your own pottery places, preschool swim time, skating, etc. We also like to do some crafts, cooking projects, grow vegetables from seed and free play at home. I am happy to attend various classes with your child, and also have experience with infant and toddler potty training. 

I am very patient, handle stress well, and consider myself generally easy going. I am also VERY reliable and punctual. I am CPR certified and college educated. I am happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal prep, errands, light yard work and of course cleanup and laundry related to the kids. I grew up with dogs and as an adult have a cat so I am pet friendly as well. 

My ideal family/families will have excellent communication skills, dependability, not be averse to public transit/biking, and have a generally happy demeanor. My not-that-old car isn't currently running but I am happy to bus, bike, walk, pull a wagon or drive your car with a willingness to use my zip car account on an occasional basis if needed.  I live in SE (on the 10, 14, 72 and near the 19 bus lines) and would LOVE to work with a family who also lives in SE, but I am willing to commute.

Ideally I am looking for full time, but will consider 20-25 hrs as long as they are guaranteed and scheduled in such a way that I could take on another part time job without too much difficulty. I am looking for a long term year round commitment of at least one year if possible. My rates start at $12/hr or $7/hr per family if a share. 

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you think we may be a good fit. (I also do date night and weekend care as well.)

My email address is greatportlandnanny@hotmail.com 059

No problem, swing on by, we'll help you out.  Maybe you need a bit longer to attend to a business meeting or get some work done, just give us a call, drop in or send us an email.  We trust that you kids will have such a good time in the studio that they'll be begging to come back.

For the same cost of a nanny or alternative child care, The Art Cubby's staff will engage your child in a wide variety of enriching artistic activities that will not only encourage skill growth, build their self-confidence and give them new outlets in which to positively express themselves.

Happy Spring!!!

Inexpensive nanny in SE

January 12, 2011

Hello everyone! My names Katie, and I am a stay at home mom to my 18 month old daughter, and I nanny to another 18 month old out of my own home Mon-Fri. I am looking for one or two more children to come play with us, and hang out during the day.


Before having my daughter, I was employed at Children’s Creative Learning Center (CCLC). I was a toddler teacher, as well as working with infants, and pre-school kids. I am CPR certified. I have been a toddler teacher at two other pre-schools, and I have also been employed as a nanny. 


I have everything a toddler would need here at my home. During the day, we read lots of books, dance and listen to music, play pretend, art, and typical free play on the giant climbing structure in the middle of the living room! 


This is not an in-home daycare. This is a nanny situation. 
If this sounds like something your interested in, please don’t hesitate to shoot me an email with any unanswered questions you might have. Thanks!
