Willow Bend has been licensed by the state of Oregon since 2009 and most of our lead teachers have been in the same classroom for more than four years, which is the single biggest thing separating one center from another. Children go outside twice a day in almost any weather, so pack boots.
“Same lead teacher from twelve months through three years. My daughter ran into that room every morning.”
Imani R., Parent, Aloha
“The daily notes are detailed enough that I know what she ate, how she slept and who she played with.”
Jonah K., Parent, Tigard
Infant spots typically run six to nine months out and preschool rooms move faster, often within two months. Getting on the list is free, and we contact you when a spot opens in your child's age group.
A change of clothes, weather appropriate outerwear including rain boots, and diapers and wipes for children who need them. Meals, snacks, bedding and all classroom supplies are included in tuition.
Children stay home with a fever over 100.4, vomiting or diarrhea in the last 24 hours, or an undiagnosed rash. They may return 24 hours after symptoms end without medication. It is inconvenient and it is what keeps outbreaks short.
We follow your lead rather than a schedule. When you start at home, we mirror it at school with regular bathroom visits and no pressure. Accidents are expected and never made into a problem.
Come see the rooms while children are in them. Call or email with your child's age and preferred start month.
