We make space for loud, exuberant play, plan for puddles, and take time for independence. We're more than just day care - we maintain nurturing and beautiful environments where children are treated with compassion, deep respect, and love.

The ChildRoots Way
Report
We recognize that a strong, consistent, and healthy bond between primary care providers and children is a necessary foundation for healthy growth, learning, and development. Our teachers are co-learners. They are trained to observe, research, and support your child's natural exploration of the world.
Our Eco-mmitment
Report
We are committed to business practices that are safe, sustainable, and best for our environment and for our children. For all children who wear diapers, we use our own cotton diaper panels, water-resistant snap-able diaper wraps, and flushable organic bamboo liners while children are at school.
At the end of each day, more than 300 pounds of used diapers are laundered at our off-site commercial laundry facility in energy-efficient washers and dryers.Our centers avoid using disposable materials whenever possible. This allows us to use fewer natural resources, less energy, and sends less trash to landfills.

General Information
Report
ChildRoots is an art- and science-based day care and preschool dedicated to providing superior childcare for children ages six weeks to six years in Portland, Oregon. We see each child as an authentic, powerful individual. Our teachers are trained to provide a consistent, center-wide experience focused on social and emotional development, language acquisition, building self-esteem, and fostering a sense of wonder.
In The Classroom
Report
We view each child as a competent, imaginative, and curious self-learner. Given a safe, healthy, and stimulating environment; they will explore their own interests at their own pace. Rather than directing learning through a strict, teacher-led curriculum, we provide various learning opportunities through emergent curriculum.
Community Events
Report
We offer five community events each year that celebrate our schools, the seasons, and our community. These events are significant in the lives of the children enrolled here, but they are also enriching for our teachers and parents. The Lantern Walk is one of our most popular traditions. ChildRoots' families and teachers meet at a park where paper luminaries light a windy path through the canopied part of the forest.
