Our Story

More Than a Preschool — A Second Home

Green House Preschool was founded on a simple belief: every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. Located in the heart of Portland, our program offers the warmth of a home environment with the structure and richness of a professional early learning setting.

Our approach blends play-based learning with intentional curriculum design. Children explore through hands-on activities, creative expression, and guided discovery — building the social, emotional, and cognitive foundations that carry them through kindergarten and beyond.

  • Play-based, developmentally appropriate curriculum
  • Low child-to-teacher ratios for individualized attention
  • Outdoor learning garden and daily physical activity
  • Nutritious snacks and allergy-aware meal planning
