Owned and Operated by prior Oregon State Certified Child Care Provider of 41 years, who is transitioning to a private preschool for ages 2-5 years. While our head teacher has a degree in Early Childhood Education, and has worked with children for 6 years on the job. Our second teacher successfully owned and operated her own Oregon State Registered Daycare for 10 years. When the pandemic began in 2020 she closed her doors, but continued working with children totaling 15 years of experience. Together we have joined forces to create a welcoming, encouraging, and safe environment to ensure you and your preschooler have a fantastic beginning to their classroom experience. Little Poppy's uses a child centered approach. Our focus is on creating opportunities for children to use their natural curiosity to lead them through discovery, imagination, questioning, learning, and growing. We keep our days semi-structured to allow for exploration of space, socialization, and development of language skills. We prepare children to excel in kindergarten with a solid educational foundation. Children who have participated in our programs are thriving in elementary school and beyond.

Sonbeam Day Care is a not-for-profit childcare program with preschool provided for all children enrolled. The Center was started by Temple Baptist Church twenty years ago to provide care for the many children represented by the employees in the Lloyd Center community. However, many families from outside this area have realized the convenience of our location to the downtown and many other areas serviced by public transportation. The MAX line delivers people to within four short blocks of Sonbeam and we are located within the free square for parents driving to parking near our facility and hopping the free ride into downtown Portland. Sonbeam Day Care is a developmentally-based daycare center. The main floor is separated into learning centers and classrooms by moveable dividers. Learning centers are designed with appropriate materials to stimulate normal development of the child from 2 1/2 years through kindergarten age. Materials are provided for the child to use according to his or her developmental level of skill and complexity. Children are encouraged, through guidance in their play, to explore the various areas and use materials at a level corresponding to each child's developmental stage and age Teachers are aware of developmental ages and stages of the children whom they are guiding, and encourage each child to practice new skills, feel confident about already developed skills, and give suggestions for exploring the next skill to develop.
