Tigard Playschool

"This school was absolutely the most amazing school my kiddo had ever attended in his pre kinder days. Every single day he was so happy and excited to go to school, and he adored each and every one of his friends and teachers. I love that you have to the ability to get to know the class and teachers through parent helping and have such a close community! My son still asks at least once a week if we can go back and visit. Once our little guy turns 2 the first thing we’re doing is enrolling him here!"

"This school is just wonderful. I couldn't be happier with the teachers. They are warm and caring and my children love them. My oldest child was definitely prepared for kindergarten because of Teacher Mercedes' patience and guidance in Pre-K. The next best thing after the teachers is the community. I have met so many people I enjoy spending time with (and friends too!) through the school community. I am so glad my family joined this school."

"I cannot say enough good things about TPS, the teachers are very enthusiastic and I am very happy with the school, you cannot complain about the price the people or really anything, wish we could just stay there forever!!"

"Our daughter will be finishing her second year soon and heading off to kindergarten. We are so excited to be sending our son here for the next two years! Even though this school is at a church they don't beat the bible over the kids heads. It is a co-op with lots of loving community vibes and friendly smiles. The teachers and parents are very open and accepting of all of the differences of the children (including trans-gender!) which has been so refreshing to see. The only thing that I could see as being a problem for families is that you are required to parent teach about twice every three weeks. This is why the school is so affordable, but I get why some can't do it."

"Our 2 year old son joined the 2-day class this year and we love Tigard Playschool! These are just a few reasons why: 1. Our son LOVES IT!!!! Everyday I ask him what he wants to do today and everyday he says, "go to school!" 2. The teachers are great! Teacher Lindsey and Teacher Saadia are gentle and responsive and have made our son feel welcome and comfortable since Day 1. Our son is never belittled in any way or forced to do things he doesn't want to. Rather, at TPI the kids can do almost anything they want in a safe environment (as long as what they want to do does not inflict harm on themselves or others). It's so much FUN!!! They play with their friends, make fun art projects and play outside every day! And they learn at the same time! 3. The parents are great! A great benefit of being part of a co-op school is getting to know and working with the other parents, getting to know your child's classmates and having the other parents get to know your child. It creates a great sense of community for the parents and the kids! AND it allows for a much better child to teacher ratio in the classroom. 4. We get to play a role in our son's education! While it does require a bigger time commitment than schools that are not cooperative, being a part of our son's learning and school experiences is incredibly rewarding. It's also nice to be involved in a school where all the parents have a vested interest in its success and work hard to make it great."
