Montessori Parent-Infant Classes in NE Portland

Peace Tree School is a Montessori infant, toddler and preschool early education community run by two experienced Montessori professionals. Starting in January 2016 we will be offering Parent-Infant classes for children under 2 years old and their families. 

We are very excited to offer this opportunity to our community! Parent-infant classes offer an amazing opportunity to observe your child in a child-centered environment, ask specific developmental questions and discuss parenting topics within a nurturing and supportive group. Classes will be tailored to each group's individual interest and needs, resources and discussions will center around what is important to you, your family and your child. 

Topics can include: Montessori philosophy, child-centered environments, discipline (setting limits, love & logic), toilet learning, motor skills, developmental milestones, Educaring approach (RIE), sleeping, eating, challenging behaviors, emotional intelligence, language development.

Our first class series will be an introductory series: $90 for 3 weeks. Classes will be held on Fridays starting in January, specific dates are 1/8, 1/15 & 1/22. Each session is 90 minutes starting at 4:00pm.

More information will soon be available on our website: peacetreeschool.com

Mighty Oaks Preschool is a licensed, non-profit, Montessori-inspired, Eco-Healthy certified preschool in the Grant Park/Hollywood neighborhood. We believe that children learn best by doing and experiencing life first-hand.  At Mighty Oaks we get our hands dirty in the garden, care for chickens, create art, engage in dramatic play, make music, practice yoga, explore, learn, laugh, and grow together.  Founder, Brittany Smith, M.A.T. – supported by four experienced board members – has cultivated a nurturing educational environment that fosters kindergarten readiness and independence while endeavoring to instill a lifelong love of learning through a foundation of play and discovery.
