Space is limited as we are only accepting ten students per class. Please visit our website: Creative Minds Website

I am thinking about registering my 7 month old and 3.5 year old here but have not heard much about it. The space inside and play areas outside seem great, the location and hours are super convienient and it is reasonably priced. I did not get to meet all of the teachers but the owner seems smart and good with kids. I've been scrambling to line up full time childcare and it is one of the few places with openings so of course I wonder if there is a reason for that? Would love to hear experiences from other parents!

Please join Creative Minds Learning Centers on 2/25 from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm for our Kindergarten Open House being held at our beautiful Gateway, Broadway and Sellwood Campuses! We will be accepting applications for the 2012 - 2013 school year. Only 10 students per class!

OPEN HOUSE:

Wednesday February 8th, 6-7:30PM

Your family is warmly invited to the Montessori Children's House open house on Wednesday February 8th, 6-7:30PM.  Our open houses provide an opportunity for prospective families to meet MCH staff and explore our environment.  We are currently enrolling for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years.

We currently have openings for Toddlers (15 months - 36 months) and Primary children (3-6).

Montessori Children's House offers both  Toddler and Primary Montessori programs.  Located in Portland's newest neighborhood, the South Waterfront, we are still relatively 'undiscovered.'  

We have mixed-age groups -- a Toddler Community (for children 15 months - 36 months) and two Primary classes ranging from three years (or a bit younger) up through kindergarten age. In 2010-2011 we had one primary class; this year (2011-2012) we have expanded our program in order to run two Primary classes.   We are enrolling children now and do not yet have a waiting list.  Remaining spaces are limited, however, especially in the toddler community.

Check our website for information about our Summer Program.

'We toured a total of six schools before we found the right one for our daughter. We even enrolled her in another one prior to Montessori Children's House only to pull her out because we were disappointed in our experience there. I wish that we had discovered this school sooner! It would have saved us a lot of stress.'

'The space itself is gorgeous, all new, beautiful learning areas, just what you would imagine a top notch Montessori school to look like...The location on South Waterfront is very easy to get to and from, parking is right in front of the main door and the teachers will even greet the kids at your car. We highly recommend Montessori Children’s House!'

Hello.  I am providing care just across the river in Vancouver.  I run an in-home child care with a very small group of children.

 “The e nvironment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.” -Maria Montessori

Children benefit from being able to explore the environment around them inside and outside.  This includes having materials available for them to learn about, touch, explore and for it to be safe to do so.  I believe in making materials for the children to use from ordinary items at home.  This can include anything you might find in the recycle bin: bottle caps, boxes, paper, toilet paper rolls, jars etc.  While outside children should be free to learn about plants/trees, watch animals and insects and run free. This can be done by taking nature walks, exploring the backyard or simply bringing in items from nature to use for projects or simply to observe.  We also do bike riding, digging in the sand box and drawing with chalk.

There are many reasons why parents might need to find a provider to care for their children.  I provide a safe environment in my home with a loving and nurturing caregiver who is very patient and understanding.  I believe in respecting the child as a whole and this will include how I talk and interact with them.  For example letting children learn to feed themselves, pouring milk or juice, answering questions the child might have or just simply giving the child encouragement when trying to accomplish a goal. 

I also offer respite care and was a former respite care worker with the State of Washington for families that have children with special needs.  I have experience working with children with: Autism, Down's Syndrome, ADHD/ADD, blind, deaf, non-walking/cerebral palsy, Sensory Integration, drug addiction and children that need more social interaction in general.  I also have training in several different philosophies including: Montessori, RIE and Reggio.  I try and incorporate the children's art work into our environment along with pictures of the children in play.



I also bring with me:
*Former Preschool Teacher
*Current CPR & First Aid Certification
*Montessori Training

Please contact me for more information and if you want to schedule a meeting!

We have been in a nanny share with another family for the past year and our nanny, Ahura has been amazing. Our family situation recently changed, in which we had to look at other childcare options. The hardest part of this change is saying goodbye to our nanny.  I hope to help make her transition to another family as easy as possible, so I would like to get the word out there.

When I was looking for a nanny, I spent months trying to find the perfectly person, and I can honestly say that I did. Ahura was responsible for watching our now 18½ month old son from January 2011 to January 2012. She started when he was just a 7 month old baby, till now as a young toddler.  While watching Owen, she also watched another baby 6 months younger at our house, as we shared Ahura’s services with that family.

Ahura is and always will be more than just a nanny. She will always be a special part of our son’s life. She genuinely cared for him and he quickly grew to love her and look forward to his time with her.

We will always be grateful for the love and attention that Ahura provided to our son. We never worried about him while we were at work. We knew he was with Ahura and he was ok. She seemed to absolutely enjoy growing his imagination, developing him, and challenging him and supporting his educational growth.

 Ahura is unbelievably punctual. Arriving a few minutes early everyday. In fact, as I write this, I cannot think of a time she showed up late. Further, she was always patiently waiting for us to come home, even when we failed to return the courtesy by sometimes coming home a few minutes late.

She always reported on the day’s activities and any issues that arose affecting our son’s regular schedule or any other issues that came up.  Never once did she ever complain or seem frustrated, no matter what type of day our son had.

Lastly, she handled the two-family, two baby situation wonderfully. Giving each child the attention they deserved, while providing them with the care and protection every parent hopes for. Further, the added complications of dealing with two families couldn’t have been easy, but we never saw her flinch from it. She handled it with grace.

Bottom line – I give my unconditional recommendation and support for Ahura. I believe she would provide any family looking for childcare services the ideal solution. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, lyndsayb@gmail.com. If you’d like to contact Ahura directly, her email address is ahura@comcast.net.

We recently learned that Maria's place preschool, affiliated with Montessori of Alameda, has opened up a new location in our neighborhood (26 NE Morris Street, in Eliot neighborhood near Emanuel Hospital, across from Dawson Park.) It is an ideal location for us but at the same time we have heard negative feedback from friends about their Prescott location (located in the charter Ivy School elementary.)

Our friends enrolled their daughter in the preschool at Prescott during 2010 - they say there was significant teacher turnover in the few months she was there as well as general disorganization and lack of leadership. This led them to switch to a new Montessori preschool.

Comments would be appreciated if you have experience or knowledge on the quality of care at Maria's Place at either location. Or, I can be reached directly via email at tualatinhr@yahoo.com.

Thanks so much!

    I am a Nanny that will be available in early January. I have letters of recommendation upon request and a resume as well. I have years of experience with children from my background being a counselor and a jr. counselor at YMCA day camp and week-long camps. I was a first year mentor at my university in Ashland, where I mentored and provided resources to first year college students. I was also an advocate at the SOU Queer Resource Center.  I have been trained in first aid, I have my food handlers card, and a valid OR drivers license. 

    My experience doesnt stop there as I have experiences watching and caring for my good friends' children. I have baby sat infants to teenagers and I know how to balance what children need with what they want. I am extremely trustworthy and a very loyal person, especially to the families I work for. Once I have sat for a family they want to keep me for years. 

    I can cook light, healthy, and especially balanced meals. I can make snacks and have arts and crafts time and even mix play time and learning time together! Learning and laughing I find are often one in the same.  

    I can guarantee you will be satisfied with my energy towards children. Baby sitting in Ashland, OR, taught me so much about patience and sending a child on their own journey through the world. I try to teach your child self love and self esteem building among many other things. 

    I am going to school for Anthropology (cultural) and Art currently. I have experience being an English tutor and Math tutor as well as knowing basic French and I am learning ASL. Along with my academic accomplishments I am skilled in housekeeping, cooking, hair styling/cutting/dying, makeup design, photography, and music. When I graduate with my degree in Anthropology I plan on traveling and studying the dynamics of families in all cultures. The relationships between families, lovers, and children is what interests me the most. How people balance their lives to raise a child and teach it all about life from their perspectives. 

    I am available as soon as Friday December 6th, 2012. 

    When contacted I can email my resume and provide signed letters of recommendation in person. My name is Cassandra and I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Wednesday January 18th, 6-7:30PM

Your family is warmly invited to the Montessori Children's House open house on Wednesday January 18th, 6-7:30PM.  Our open houses provide an opportunity for prospective families to meet MCH staff and explore our environment.  We are currently enrolling for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years.

We currently have openings for Toddlers (15 months - 36 months) and Primary children (3-6).

Montessori Children's House offers both  Toddler and Primary Montessori programs.  Located in Portland's newest neighborhood, the South Waterfront, we are still relatively 'undiscovered.'  

We have mixed-age groups -- a Toddler Community (for children 15 months - 36 months) and two Primary classes ranging from three years (or a bit younger) up through kindergarten age. In 2010-2011 we had one primary class; this year (2011-2012) we have expanded our program in order to run two Primary classes.   We are enrolling children now and do not yet have a waiting list.  Remaining spaces are limited, however, especially in the toddler community.

Check our website for information about our Summer Program.

'We toured a total of six schools before we found the right one for our daughter. We even enrolled her in another one prior to Montessori Children's House only to pull her out because we were disappointed in our experience there. I wish that we had discovered this school sooner! It would have saved us a lot of stress.'

'The space itself is gorgeous, all new, beautiful learning areas, just what you would imagine a top notch Montessori school to look like...The location on South Waterfront is very easy to get to and from, parking is right in front of the main door and the teachers will even greet the kids at your car. We highly recommend Montessori Children’s House!'

Hi Mamas,

I am a nanny with experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers (and some though less experience with school aged kids.) I am CPR trained, college educated and have several great references. I have cared for as many as four kids at once.

I have some availability during the Thanksgiving break plus December and January. 

As of right now, I am available the following dates:

11/22, 11/23, 11/26, 11/30,  and the 21st and 28th if you are interested in a share part of the day.

12/1, 12/2, 12/6,  12/9, 12/10, 12/13, 12/16, 12/17, 12/20, 12/23, 12/27, 12/29,

1/3, 1/6, 1/10, 1/13, 1/14, 1/27, 1/28

I am also available most Mondays but am accompanied by a sweet 2.5 yr old girl from 9-12.

I charge $13/hr for one or two kids and request a 4 hr minimum. I also do overnights and date nights all year long. I am also willing to be available short notice (subject to my schedule) if your child is sick and can't attend school or daycare or if your full time nanny calls in sick etc.

I do NOT have a car at this time so I prefer families who live close in and/or on a bus line. I live near Lloyd Center. I do like to get out and about on various adventures  with the kids and I have memberships to OMSI, the zoo and World Forestry Center. I am not one to stay home all day, but having said that I am fairly creative and can get into a good art project.

If you need coverage for any of above listed times, or just need occasional date night help, don't hesitate to contact me at greatportlandnanny at hotmail dot com.

Thanks!
