Welcome to Tualatin Valley Playschool!
We learn through PLAY! Play-based learning helps children use their natural sense of inquiry and discovery through hands-on exploration of the world around them. Our teachers instill elements of teaching and learning within the play experiences that children are interested in and naturally drawn to – and therefore are more likely to stay engaged. This is why our teachers get to know each individual child well. This helps the teacher know what their students are interested in and how each child learns best. Helping our students to discover their special qualities and blossom within their uniqueness is the aim of Tualatin Valley Playschool.
The importance of the participation of parents is an essential element in our community. Parent helpers in our classrooms enables us to offer activities that would be difficult without your support. It also increases your child’s confidence in the importance of school, giving them a great foundation in learning. At Tualatin Valley Playschool we welcome parents to be a part of the everyday team. Parents can expect to work alongside teachers in the classroom approximately a couple of times a month. Our playschool teachers and families working together in this capacity creates what we believe is a beautiful balance between home and education in a shared goal to give the best environment for young children.
