Beaverton Preschools

Reggio-Inspired
Organic-Fueled
Nature-Driven
Community-Minded

We are a play based child care center. Where the child is respected, listened to and given many opportunities to investigate, create, explore and discover their passions. We incorporate all the learning domains during play: physical, social emotional, and cognitive. The content areas are incorporated too, mathematics, literacy, science, social studies, and language.
We don't use worksheets, pre-cut crafts or traditional flashcards. Your child will learn through process... not by product. We view the child as an investigator, not as a target of learning. We give the child opportunities to expand their knowledge and learning by asking, observing them and giving them the resources to know more.
We also believe in eating organic foods, fruits, dairy and vegetables are important in today's world. We have seen a change in behaviors, better immune systems, wiser food choices from the children at home and it just tastes better.
We also value community, culture, and diversity. We encourage our families to be a part of our school bringing in family pictures, volunteering, sharing a traditional dishes (Nut-Free), or just coming in and sharing what it is you do traditionally in your family. Parents are always welcome at Kozy Kids!
We would love for you to come take a tour and see.

My care is like a home away from home with a small group. At any given time you can be sure that they will get the attention they need. For toddlers I work with them on learning skills (ABCs, colors, songs, etc.). Older children will get help with school work and a focus on reading in down time. We also do a buddy system in the summer and breaks that allow younger children work with older children on reading and games! Outside play time is done as often as we can. We did a kid's garden and they had tons of fun watching it grow. We look forward to meeting new faces!

Hello! Are you looking for a fun loving place for your baby and toddler to have fun? I offer a low ratio with plenty of things for them to do as they grow. I only watch infants to age 3 at which time, I have them potty trained and ready for their next adventure in life called Preschool.

In my infant focused daycare, we care for children under the age of three. Infants learn through first hand sensory experiences of feeling, listening, smelling, tasting and observing. While in my care, I work on developing key skills such as how to crawl, walk, share toys and explore our surroundings.

We encourage children to learn through play and interaction with each other. I provide lots of opportunities for infants and toddlers to handle, manipulate, experiment and explore their environment through age appropriate toys. The children learn from each other; and focus is given on socialization and group play.

We do not allow TV time as we feel it is better for them to play and do hands on learning.

Our experts designed our classrooms - and every activity and lesson - to help prepare your child for success in school and beyond. With designated learning centers such as dramatic play and blocks in every classroom, children have the opportunity for rich social play and child-initiated discovery.
You’ll also find that our classrooms feature a print-rich environment full of carefully selected materials, written charts and labels, and children’s literature. By helping your child connect spoken words and print, we’re helping develop early literacy and writing skills.
Whether your child has first words or first grade on the horizon, we’re excited to show you how everything in our center is designed for learning!
