Village Preschool Of Portland

Day Care

At Village Preschool we believe open-ended play is the foundation of learning for young children.

It is our mission to provide a safe and inviting learning environment that supports exploration, cooperation, creativity, and problem-solving. Village is a place where every child is heard and acknowledged. They are accepted for their feelings and ideas without judgment. As a result, children will naturally begin to trust themselves, be intrinsically motivated, independent, and passionate about learning and respectful members of a community.

We believe active family involvement to be essential in the healthy development of the child. Our strong parent education program and continual school-home communication support families to develop the skills needed to build healthy life-long relationships. Read more

    This is an absolutely amazing play based preschool! Our son loves this place, and has really grown in so many ways that I as a parent hadn't even thought of... We're so happy that he has another year here to prepare for kindergarten!

    We just started with Village, but I am so impressed with the teachers, parents, and philosophy of this school. Teacher Jamie is the head teacher and Teacher Michelle assists. They are both so peaceful, conscientious and respectful with the children, my daughter had no difficulty transitioning to a new preschool and loves going to school every day. It's play based, with a lot of thought put into the "work" of playing. The children are definitely working on many skills throughout the day. I love this school and feel lucky to have found it - the learning philosophy, the warm and welcoming parent community, and the affordability.

    Hi - I'm a Grandma who has had the privilege of seeing my two dear granddaughters attend Village. My first granddaughter is now six and thriving in her first year of regular schooling. And my little 3 1/2 year old granddaughter simply cannot wait to go to Village on Tuesday and Thursday a.m.'s. Under the direction of dear Teacher Mary and the board of directors, this co-op has everything going for it! It is a very calm and respectful environment - one of the many reasons I give this preschool five big 'ol stars:) I still remember my girls in co-op preschools - having hands on by parents is so good for all. Please go visit - you won't be sorry!
