Lil' Green Beans Early Learning Community

February 19, 2012

Greenhandsthe-environment

"You think you are a small star, when in fact you contain the entire universe..."

The first three years of your child's life are some of the most important - and the quality of care received during this crucial time of development prove to have a lasting effect.   We understand this and strive to create a loving, play-filled environment which nourishes the uniqueness of your child body, mind, heart and soul.

We also know what a difficult decision it is to find the right kind of care for your little ones.  If you are working parents with a need for full time care, we are there for you.  If you are a stay at home mom who simply needs a day or two a week reprieve, we are there for you.  Whatever your circumstance, our family is here for you!  

We might be a good match for you:

  • If you have children ages 0-3 (our lil' green beans) or 3-5 (our growing green beans).
  • If you value living a green and sustainable lifestyle.
  • If diversity and honoring peoples of all races and colors is important to you.
  • If you want your child eating mostly homemade, organic and Gluten Free meals.
  • If you believe in the magic of play, make believe, getting dirty, and celebrating life and learning through music, art, science and movement.

We are currently located in the Mt. Park area of Lake Oswego with a vision of growing into a larger home, with an organic garden, outside play structure, and chickens.  We want to bring together a group of people who are passionate about making a positive difference in their community and lives of their children!  Our doors open mid March and we are currently taking applications for all ages.

If you want to be a part of our vision, please visit our FB page at  http://www.facebook.com/LilGreenBeansDaycare.  Our website www.lilgreenbeansdaycare.com will also be available very soon.

You can also call Jenn, the Director, at 650-430-4115, or email her at Jenntasnim@gmail.com if you have any questions.

I look forward to hearing from you, and wish you the best of luck in your childcare search!

New Child Care Center Opening in the Pearl District in April 2012

February 15, 2012

ChildRoots, A Center for Young Children, (www.childroots.com), is an environmental and Art-and-Science-based learning community, dedicated to providing superior child care for children ages six weeks to six years.  ChildRoots, which is located at 50 SE 17th Ave. and E. Burnside, will be opening a new Center location in April in the Pearl District.  The new Center, entitled ChildRoots NW, will be located at 1740 N.W. Flanders St. on the corner of N.W. 18th and N.W. Flanders St.  The Center is a 9,000 square-foot-space comprised of nine classrooms, with a total capacity for 110 children.  The space was formally a Children’s Creative Learning Center (CCLC) child care, aka KinderCare. Because this space was previously home to another child care center, the remodel efforts and structural changes will be minimal.

ChildRoots NW will feature a nice-sized outdoor area for play and its very own parking lot. The Center will also have an art lab and a science lab.

Active enrollment for ages six weeks to six years has begun at ChildRoots NW and the Center will be hiring a total of 35 new teachers to help run the program.

ChildRoots has been recognized by local media including The Oregonian, the Portland Tribune, and the Hollywood Star for its leadership in sustainability.  ChildRoots features organic meals and snacks, locally-sourced food, cloth diapers, non-toxic wooden toys, creative spaces, a Preschool Atelier Program, and play-based learning.

For information about enrolling at ChildRoots NW, please contact Christina at christina@childroots.com to set up a tour.

Experienced, Loving Provider Seeking Family!

January 30, 2012

Experienced childcare provider looking for a family to work with. I recently finished a short-term position in SE Portland and would love to find a part or full-time position. I have multiple years of experience (total of 10 years childcare experience) working with children ages 0-8. Great families for you to contact that can attest to my ability to be on-time and engaging with children of any age.

I am well-versed in Montessori learning style as well as a bit of knowledge in attachment parenting. Comfortable with cloth diapers (assisting with diaper laundry and children's laundry as well) and feeding expressed milk as well. I'm flexible, easy-going and a great communicator. I am happy to provide a daily rundown of what we did, etc.

I'm cpr/first aid certified, have taken the RRCAN class, am in the process of completing my food handlers certification, and am enrolled in Oregon Criminal History Registry # (for working in a childcare center). Previously background checked through DHS for 3 years, open to having background check run as well as having two through reputable childcare sites (sittercity.com and care.com). Non-smoker, valid license/insurance and reliable vehicle for transportation (Plymoth Neon, seats 5 total).

Engaging and active; I do multiple activities with children from sensory play (shaving cream, paint, play dough, etc.) to arts and crafts with older children. Familiar with assisting in school-aged learning, assisting with writing/reading, spelling, abc's, 123's, colors, shapes, etc. Primary focus working with children ages 0-6.

I can and will take your children on outings if you would like, am able to assist with errand running/shopping if necessary as well as light household chores (dishes unloaded or loaded, light sweeping, child laundry/room cleanup, etc.). I love going to the park even if it's wet, and love to puddle jump!

Available for any weekly schedule, weekends as well.

If you're interested, please feel free to email me with all pertinent information such as: your care needs (frequency, total hours, daily schedule if varied), a bit about your family/children (names/ages/a bit about them) and what you are expecting to pay.

My hourly rate for locations within 15 miles of my home is $11.50 per hour, for 1-2 children. I base my price on your needs, family size, as well as location and am slightly flexible with families that can provide me with stability as I can for them. :)

For inquiry/interest please email educatoralicia@gmail.com or call (971)-217-8414. If I do not answer please leave a message; I usually do not return calls without one, since I am not aware of who was trying to reach me or if it was a wrong number. :)

  • Our classrooms are child–focused: everything visible to children is available for their use and the materials are continually adapted to suit their developmental needs and interests..

  • We see each child as an authentic, powerful individual.

  • Children go outside each day- we use our large outdoor space, walks throughout the neighborhood, parks visits, and large outdoor covered areas to run, yell and be exuberant. (or just stare at the trees or birds flying by)

  • Our teachers are trained to provide a consistent, Center–wide experience focused on language acquisition, social and emotional development, and fostering curiosity, wonder, and self-esteem.
  • Our awe-inspiring classrooms are designed to provoke wonder, encourage inquiry, and allow for movement. 

ChildRoots still has availability at our recently-opened Annex locations!

The “Burnside Annex” is located right across the street from our main site in SE Portland, and will offer care to 16 children.

The “Alberta Annex” is right in the heart of the Alberta Arts neighborhood, and will also care for 16 children.

Both locations currently have openings for infants and young toddlers.

We'd love to welcome you to our family! For more information about our schools, or to schedule a tour, please visit our website,www.childroots.com, or call (503) 235-1151
