Since 2009, Little Hands Garden School has been nurturing young minds through an outdoor-focused, play-based curriculum. We welcome preschool students ages 24 months to 5 years into small classes with a low teacher-student ratio, ensuring personalized attention and a supportive learning environment. Our curriculum emphasizes nature-based experiences, including gardening, animal care, early literacy and numeracy, as well as seasonal arts and music. Students also enjoy delicious, vegetarian snacks made from fruits and vegetables they help grow, harvest, and prepare at the school. Featured in Willamette Week's 2011 Finder Magazine as one of 'the best kept secrets in the Mt. Tabor neighborhood,' Little Hands Garden School remains a beloved part of the community. We have two locations in SE Portland: Both schools are housed in classic Portland homes with spacious yards, offering plenty of room for outdoor play and exploration. At South Tabor, children also learn animal care with the help of two house rabbits, one cat, one puppy, and three chickens. Our curriculum is further enriched with Wondergarten Waldorf activities, baking, and nature-inspired crafts.

I'm currently a stay-at-home mom to my sweet 15 month old little boy. Before that, I had lots of experience working with children as a part-time nanny while in school. I cared for both children who were "special needs" as well as "typical". My previous job I was working full-time as a nursing assistant (CNA-2) and though I have let my license lapse this past year (as I'm committed to being a stay at home mom) I hold a current CPR and first aid card. If you're looking for someone who will not only have the time to give your child the attention he/she needs, provide a clean and structured environment and keep them busy with fun activities and outings such as art, reading stories, playing outside (in my fenced in back yard), going for walks, trips to local story times, the zoo, museums, etc. I think we could be a great fit! Right now I'm currently offering care in my home to 1 or possibly two children.Though typical business hours would be ideal, I'm flexible and very willing to work around your schedule. I can also offer date-night care as well. I'm more than happy to offer references and a background check upon request.

Little Feet Big Steps is a home based childcare located in NE Portland near the Elementary school. We are in one of the safest neighborhoods in the Portland area and live within a quiet cul-de-sac that allows for a great big yard in the back for play and discovery. Although, we are a home-based center, we act a lot like a larger childcare center with our programs and lesson plans. We believe in encouraging the little ones to learn throughout the day. We hope to accomplish this task by using hands-on activities, songs and games, as well as, enrichment activities throughout the week: gardening, cooking, movement, science and language. We also value providing healthy snacks and lunches with the following ingredients: seasonal produce, whole grains, lean meats, legumes, beans, Tillamook cheese and whole milk.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Gresham, OR

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Gresham, OR. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Gresham, OR for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Gresham, OR, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Gresham, OR.

When looking for a preschool near you in Gresham, OR on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools. Be sure to check any reviews from other families in Gresham, OR who have previously sent their kids to any of the preschools you are interested in.
