Our daughter is now just over 2 years old and has been attending the Children's Hour Academy (CHA) since she was 12 weeks old. We have had an absolutely fantastic experience with CHA. Her teachers have all been caring, nurturing, and wonderful! She loves going to "school." She’s happy at drop-off and pick up, loves the Music Together program at CHA, and has a great time reading, doing art projects, singing and playing outside. We love the structure and curriculum at CHA. Our daughter is 'advanced' for her age, and we believe that her CHA experience has been a primary factor in her rapid development. CHA has wonderful programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and elementary kids. They also have very low teacher-to-child ratios, which is great. We have been extremely happy with our CHA experience, and highly recommend CHA. - The Lee Family, Lake Oswego, OR ...read more

We love Community Arts Preschool. The director Eileen is very flexible with kids coming into the 3's program and their birthdays are after Sept. 1, which is the cut off for Kindergarten in Oregon.\t\nThe teachers have been there for a long time and the director is not only the owner, but she teaches as well and knows all the 130 kids in the school by first name. It really is a community and now I have my 5 yr. old going to the Pre-K program and my 3 yr. old going into the 3's. My 8mo. will follow when she is old enough. I love how the school is ran and I think they did a great job with hiring quality teachers.\t\nCheck out their new website, its great! ...read more
