Our preschool

For the child who learns best with their whole self.

Each morning makes room for the important work of early childhood: connection, movement, imagination, questions, and a little more confidence each day.

The program

A small group, with plenty of room to grow.

Rising Stars is a creative arts preschool. Along with a regular preschool curriculum, our students enjoy dance, tumbling, drama, and music. It is a family-friendly, nurturing environment for your little one’s first school experience.

Our curriculum is designed as a thoughtful blend of play-based learning and kindergarten preparation. Students begin kindergarten with the skills they need to feel confident and ready for the years ahead.

Hands-on manipulatives, science concepts, and open gym time make room for active, imaginative learning throughout the morning.

Deborah’s Rising Stars Preschool is a Recorded Program with the State of Oregon Children’s Learning Division. Small classes support meaningful one-on-one attention throughout the day.
