Our Philosophy: We believe our children will save the world. Children have a limitless capacity for compassion, gratitude, and open-mindedness. The care we provide helps them keep these gifts close and carry them throughout their lives. Wow and Flutterville offers Waldorf-inspired care for children 6 weeks to 5 years. Embracing the philosophy, “home-away-from-home” by providing loving communities designed to support little ones in their important work of exploring, discovering, and learning through nature-based exploration in an environment filled with kindness, empathy, and a culture of inclusion. Daily Rhythm and following our children lead We believe children are best supported through a rhythm that follows their lead through every aspect of their day. This belief begins with our youngest friends in Magnolia and continues up through our friends in the Willow classroom. It starts by respecting our infant's agency. This might look like putting children into positions they can get themselves in and out of, rather than forcing tummy time. In Waldorf, we often talk about in-breath and out-breath. Children often have not developed skills of self-regulation, a rhythm allows them the time and space for quiet in-breath activities and gross motor out-breath activities. We see our teachers, like good DJs, utilizing a beautiful classroom environment as a third teacher, using mother nature and its gifts as a way to help children regulate and through a mix of art, story, music & free play, create a space where children feel safe & secure to explore the world around them.

We are a non-profit that runs a family cooperative playschool program for children 18 months to 3.5 years old. Our mission is to empower families with resources, such as parenting workshops and social opportunities, and to build community among our participating families. Our playschool focuses on social and emotional skill building, and introduces children to the preschool setting. This is a cooperative program and works best when one parent is not working or has a flexible work schedule. We are not a school or a daycare. This is a community venture and requires your time and engagement. Children attend 3 days. Parents work one shift a week, and drop off 2 shifts per week. Families also have 2 hours per week of committee work and attend monthly parent meetings. A parent coach works alongside parents every shift and provides a consistent face for the playschool. We are open 5 days a week from 9am-1pm. The program enrolls up to 20 families, with a 12 kid maximum attendance on any given day.

Welcome to Early Years Children's Center. Here, we not only strive to exceed the standards of safety and cleanliness, but we strive to create an environment that will entice children to explore the world of learning. Our priority is the development of both academic and personal growth in your child. Each classroom (we serve 6 weeks to school aged children) is filled with a variety of materials and unique methods to enrich the learning experience! At Early Years, children will learn through play and activities that reinforce the literacy, number recognition and row counting, science, math, music and dance. But there is even more that students will learn here; how to share and use kind words with others, working together to solve problems and building friendships. These are all staples needed to create a strong educational foundation. If you have any questions or you are ready to schedule a time to meet with us, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Why I'm here... I recently had a friend come to me and vent her struggle to find consistent reliable daycare for her children. Her sitter had recently quit on her with little notice, and she couldn't find anyone full time that was open for the hours she needed. I helped her when I could, but I was working a full time job myself. I realized that this wasn't the first time I had heard this problem. Anyone with kids knows the difficulty that comes with trying to find daycare, especially those who don't work a regular 9-5 job. That's when I decided, with all my years of childcare experience I could do something to help. I am here to provide a safe, caring, nurturing, and fun environment! I am also here to help out parents who have had a difficult time finding childcare that is flexible with hours. Don't get off work until 8-9pm? That's fine! I will be happy to provide a nutritious dinner, help get homework done, and so on. A little about me... I come from a large family, and am the oldest of 5 kids. Basically I grew up caring for little ones. Once I was old enough I started babysitting for relatives, neighbors and family friends. I graduated high school and joined the workforce. I spent a few years managing a Starbucks, and then ventured into the world of technology and became an Apple Product Professional. I've been putting myself through college as well. I am currently two science course away from an Associates of Art, and plan on continuing on for a bachelors. I want to eventually start painting murals for families and small business's. Now that I am in my late twenties I have continued to provide childcare for my friends and co-workers, and decided I wanted to make it a full time gig. I am conveniently located just at the edge of SE Portland. Right where SE meets Milwaukie, Clackamas, and Happy Valley. The one thing I do not provide is transportation. Drop off and pick up are required.
