Welcome to Lilyposa Schoolhouse
Our play-based preschool provides a year round, half day program for children ages 2 to 5 years old at our home in the Woodstock neighborhood of Southeast Portland. We have a dedicated indoor classroom and a generous outdoor space which includes a covered patio, garden, and sandbox. Learn more about our preschool program, classroom, and curriculum below.
Our Portland Preschool Program
We are a Certified Family Childcare Provider licensed by the State of Oregon for a class size of 11 children at a time and we offer two identical morning and afternoon sessions that are three hours in length for children ages 2 to 5 years old.
Our preschool program is centered around play. We believe in engaging in play with children and allowing them to be their own directors of play. We pride ourselves on ensuring that children feel listened to and believe that this helps with children being able to express their feelings in a variety of settings.
Every week we introduce a new learning theme and integrate it into circle time and our other daily activities like reading, music, and art.
Testimonials
“Our experience at Lilyposa has been life changing! There are no words to express how grateful we are for Teacher Jenny and Teacher Chris!
Shortly after transferring to Lilyposa our son started thriving - an immediate noticeable difference! The amount of energy the teachers pour into each day is remarkable. They work hard to ensure they meet the unique needs of each kid! ”
“I cannot overstate the positive impact Lilyposa has had on my family’s lives. Our daughter flourished in the welcoming, playful, earnest environment Chris and Jenny have created. Almost immediately, our home was filled with new songs, words, and games that our daughter brought back from Lilyposa. She found a love of taking care of others, for being a helper, and a newfound sense of confidence.
The community that Jenny and Chris foster in the classroom is so strong and welcoming, it radiates out. Every member of our family came away from Lilyposa with new friends, new connections, and a bigger village.”
