Purple Moon Child Development

Welcome to Purple Moon Child Development!

At Purple Moon Child Development, Inc., we believe that every child deserves a bright start! Nestled in the heart of NE Portland, our eco-healthy, community-based preschool offers a warm and inviting space for your little ones. We provide a variety of classes for Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers, and PreK children, ensuring that every age group has a place to grow and learn.

A Safe and Nurturing Environment

Our top priority is to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive. We focus on building each child’s self-esteem and sense of competence, encouraging a positive attitude towards learning and education.

Active Learning with High/Scope

At Purple Moon, we embrace the High/Scope educational approach, which sees children as active learners. Our school day is thoughtfully structured around a plan-do-review cycle, allowing children to explore, create, and reflect on their experiences. We also include small group time and circle time to foster social connections and collaborative learning.

Engaging Curriculum

Our curriculum is rich with key experiences that help children develop essential skills. These include:

• Creative Representation
• Language and Literacy
• Social Relations and Initiative
• Movement
• Music
• Classification
• Seriation
• Number, Space, and Time

We also place a strong emphasis on art and music in our daily activities, allowing children to express themselves and explore their creativity.
