We Prepare Your Child For Kindergarten Success
By Polishing Lasting Academic and Social Skills
Pre-K | 4 - 5 Years | Serving Portland, West Linn and Hillsboro, OR
Bilingualism Is Instilled Early On with full immersion programs
Your child is fully immersed in a Spanish or French setting as teachers provide lessons in these languages. Becoming familiar with others at a young age gives them a competitive advantage in school by improving memory and listening skills.
A Diverse, Multi-Cultural Learning Environment
Our anti-biased curriculum celebrates diversity by acknowledging the beauty of each child’s cultural and physical differences. Students learn to see beyond borders and backgrounds through themed culture months and in-house visitors.
Fueling Your Child With Healthy, Nutritious Foods
All of the meals and snacks we serve are home-cooked, free from nuts, and can be prepared gluten or dairy-free. Everything on our menu is compliant with USDA guidelines, and all thin-skinned produce is organic.
Your Child Will Be Ready For Kindergarten
Academic learning happens via child-led play and teacher-guided activities that prompt your little one to absorb knowledge through their experiences. By the time they leave us, they will be equipped with the reading, writing, numerical, and spatial abilities to ensure kindergarten success!
A Strong Foundation Of Social-Emotional Skills
The Conscious Discipline® method we use teaches your pre-kindergartener how to form happy, healthy relationships that will last for years to come. Values such as self-confidence, independence, and empathy are built by identifying emotions and how to interact with others.
Creative Enrichments Stimulate The Senses
Enrichment activities such as yoga, dance, music, and art are equally as important to cognitive development as academics. The sensory-rich programs we offer enable your child to pick up new hobbies while learning additional skills and expressing themselves creatively.
Ongoing Professional Development For Our Staff
We invest in frequent continuing education for our teachers to ensure that their childcare skills and knowledge are always up to date. The lead teacher in every classroom either has one year of experience in a licensed pre-school or a degree in child development.
Creating An Open, Honest Dialogue With Parents
The best way to deliver exceptional childcare that suits your needs and preferences is through a healthy relationship between staff and parents. Our open-door policy invites you to drop by and share your feedback with us whenever you’d like.
Inviting You To Get Involved Whenever You’d Like
We aim to create a sense of community by inviting parents to positively contribute to their child’s day. Join us for field trips to the pumpkin patch, spring cleanups, holiday concerts, Thanksgiving potlucks, ice cream socials, and so much more!
Brightwheel App Connects Parents And Teachers
We keep you informed and up to date every single day through our convenient mobile communication app. Within just a few clicks, you can access daily reports, milestones, photos, and videos.
Frequent Fresh Air And An Appreciation For Nature
From discovering new critters in our garden to developing agility and coordination on play structures, your child will go outside twice a day regardless of the weather. Playgrounds are age-appropriate and packed with materials to enhance learning.
What Our Parents Have To Say
"The teachers are very good"
Great school for my kids. They’re picking up French quickly. The teachers are very good with the kids and the kids enjoy their time.
"I feel secure"
I feel secure that whenever I leave the kids with their Atlas family, they will be safe, nurtured, and stimulated.
"We have put our trust in Atlas"
Trusting somebody else to watch and care for your most vulnerable little loved ones is a scary thing. We have put our trust in Atlas and they have never let us down.
