First Steps and Life Lessons
Shaping Happy, Independent and bright Little Personalities
Young Toddlers | 1 - 2 Years | Serving Portland, West Linn and Hillsboro, OR
Full Immersion In Spanish Or French
Your toddler will get a head start on becoming bilingual early on, thanks to the immersive language program. Teachers speak to little ones in French or Spanish to get them comfortable with switching between their mother tongue and the language of your choice.
A Culture of Tolerance, Acceptance, And Inclusion
We follow an anti-biased curriculum to teach your toddler how to celebrate the differences around them and keep an open mind. They’ll learn that diversity in the world is what makes it beautiful.
Daily Meals and Snacks Homemade With Love
We serve breakfast, lunch, and snacks each day to keep energy levels high. All items on our menu are healthy, nutritious, free from nuts, and customizable based on your child’s food allergies or sensitivities.
Diapers and Wipes Included In Tuition
The price of tuition includes all of the essentials to keep your toddler dry, comfortable, and cozy. Items such as diapers and wipes are kept stocked so that it’s one less thing for you to worry about packing in the morning.
Learning How To Care, Share, And Take Turns
Developing lifelong socio-emotional skills is just as important to your toddler’s development as learning about academics. We will teach them how to be patient, recognize their feelings, and understand how their actions impact others.
Fun Enrichments Bring Excitement To Each Day
Your toddler will constantly be trying out new experiences as their senses are stimulated through creative enrichments such as yoga, music, baby signing, and dance. These programs further cognitive development and encourage artistic expression.
Talented Teachers With Extra Professional Development
Our highly educated team of caretakers meets twice a year for professional development days, in addition to the 20 hours of training, they take annually. Monthly staff meetings are held to review policies and reflect on how we can continuously improve.
Catch Up On Every Detail Through The Brightwheel App
Teachers send detailed progress reports, fun photos, and cute videos to you through our convenient parent communication app. You’ll be able to browse through your child’s learning milestones, accomplishments, and areas for improvement.

Building Large Muscle Groups With Daily Outdoor Play

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.
