Our History

We are a community-based, 501c3 preschool located in Eugene's Whiteaker neighborhood since 1967. We offer sliding-scale tuition, flexible scheduling, family education & support services, and a developmentally appropriate program geared toward children’s individual needs. 

Our Certifications

 We have earned Spark's 4-star rating. Spark (formerly known as QRIS) - a statewide program from Oregon's Early Learning Division - helps parents and families access quality early learning and child care programs.

Our Curriculum

We use the highly-rated, research-based "Creative Curriculum" and Teaching Strategies GOLD assessment system in all of our classrooms.
