About the business
Education, Exploration, and Excitement--The Children's Hour Academy
Looking for a safe and nurturing small private daycare and school? The Children's Hour Academy is the community for you!
At The Children's Hour Academy, we believe in developmental appropriateness, academic stimulation and education, continuity of care and most importantly, atonement. Our class sizes are small and we nurture the whole child regardless of age. We concentrate on three components of a child: the social and emotional development, the intellectual development, and the spiritual development. Our school is unique in that we embrace the children and the families--this is a focus of love, education, and care. Our mission is to serve infants, children, and their families with unparalleled developmental opportunities. Nurturing, educated, and experienced teachers structure learning environments that are conducive to a child's individual nature. By being attuned to every child, a bond of trust is formed; that is the foundation for our Continuum of Care Philosophy. This will be achieved while maintaining the highest level of respect, safety, and accountability.
Our extended hours (7 am-6 pm) and our included breakfast, lunch and snacks accommodate working parents. In addition, we offer Spanish for preschool through kindergarten students. This academy has to be seen to be believed! In operation since 1986, we have two locations in Lake Oswego; one on SW 65th Avenue and the other is our Infant and Toddler Development Center at 4711 Jean Road.

We absolutely love Children's Hour!! They treat our family as they would their own and they have an excellent program. My child is able to play in a full size gym when the weather is bad and the teachers are all top notch. We are so fortunate to have found them.

The Children's Hour Academy is a godsend for our family! Their Preparatory Kindergarten program had my son reading two years before my older daughter and the preschoolers learn Spanish too! The attention given by teachers, staff and administrators is fabulous! They really treat you like family and care about your children. (My kids often don't want to leave in the afternoon!) Can't say enough about this amazing school and staff!

Both of my sons have been part of The Children's Hour from infancy through Kindergarten. I was so blessed to be able to find a center with well educated teachers who connected with my children on multiple levels and truly card about them. Their low teacher to child ratios provide extra support for those kiddos who need it and I loved hearing about of the fun activities they did each day. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for great care!

As a full time working parent, I feel so blessed to have discovered CHA. I have 2 children attending and both are thriving in the structured but loving environment this school provides. The teachers are outstanding and my children amaze me daily with how much they have learned. I love picking my children up and hearing about all the fun things they did in school that day- language classes, very cool craft projects, running in the full size gym, etc. The thing I appreciate most is the communication between teachers and parents. I feel very informed and part of my child's school experience. The school also provides many parent/child activities such as summer BBQ's that allow parents to get to know classmates and teachers. I highly recommend this school!

-VERY high turn around rate with teachers
-VERY high burnout rate with teachers
-Poorly run by management
-Low level of communication with directors
-Decisions made for little ones without parents input even after input is given
-Substitute "teachers"are actually just assistants and/or aides
-Maintenance takes forever (a toilet seat, the paper towel dispensers and blinds in my sons classroom were broken for months before they were fixed
-The school is CONSTANTLY asking for parent contributions for one thing or another (classroom supplies, snacks, fundraisers, items needed for curriculum projects, etc
