Birchsong Play School
Birchsong Play Schools are two small, creative nursery schools centrally located in SW Portland. Both schools are just minutes from Lake Oswego, Sellwood, OHSU, Hillsdale, Multnomah Village, Council Crest and the Portland Hills. Our educative approach is an intentional blend of Montessori, Waldorf, Reggio-Emilia and Forest School. Children also learn Spanish from native speakers.
Where children’s natures are nurtured.
At Birchsong Play School, babies and young children move freely across thoughtfully prepared indoor and outdoor environments where kind, experienced educators meet them with joy and respect. Children’s bodies are nourished with organic, home-cooked meals, and their hearts and minds are encouraged to learn and love. It seems almost too good to be true, but then, so does your child.
A Welcoming Atmosphere
Our schools are located in beautifully renovated homes filled with light and large windows. With carefully chosen natural wooden toys and materials, and gardens just outside the door, your child will feel at home away from home.
You Belong
Every family structure, religious identity, race, culture, and gender identity is welcome. We aim to create a peaceful community that accepts, celebrates and encourages one another during this precious stage of life.
