Sweet Day Community School 

Located on North Lombard in the heart of St. Johns, our North Portland childcare center is a bright, light-filled space serving children from 12 months through Kindergarten.

​

St. Johns has three spacious classrooms: a group of up to 8 one-year-olds, a classroom of up to 10 two-year-olds, and a preschool classroom serving up to 15 children ages three to five.

​

Each classroom is supported by two teachers who build strong, responsive relationships with the children while guiding them through process-based art explorations, lively outdoor experiences, and plenty of child-led play.

​

Each classroom follows a thoughtfully designed daily rhythm that responds to the interests, needs, and development of the group. The day includes a balance of large- and small-group experiences, guided projects and investigations, outdoor time, and opportunities for independent and child-led play.

​

Music Classes

Included in tuition are music classes every other week with our visiting teaching artist, Elodie from Chords Music. Elodie brings child-sized ukuleles and a warm, engaging teaching style that encourages children to explore music, movement, rhythm, and their own natural creativity.
