Call: 503-228-2443
The Children%u2019s Garden was incorporated in 1988 by a local family in pursuit of quality childcare. Disappointed by the poor selection of nurturing environments for their young daughter, the couple found most programs to be lacking the individual, loving touch personalized childcare should emanate. After the birth of their second child, they proceeded to open what has become one of Portland%u2019s most loved and adored early childhood learning centers.
Now, after developing three centers and more than 20 years later, The Children%u2019s Garden is still mastering the fine art of childcare. It takes time, patience, motivation and passion to keep up with today%u2019s ever-changing educational needs of children, ensuring that each and every aspect of a program is in the best interest of a child and their growth patterns. Constant attention to detail and willingness to embrace new educational avenues is a must!
