Creative Minds Learning Centers are pre-schools dedicated to providing the best learning environment for the social, emotional and academic development of all children. Each child's individual abilities & interests are given free expression so that education is a natural development of their life.

Creative Minds Learning Centers have been designed to encourage children to explore their interests in a creative and artistic setting. Certified with the State of Oregon and members of NAEYC, OAEYC and other organizations, we strive to provide the best environment for children, staff and families. Our teachers are certified and receive more education and child related training than the State requires. We require all of our teachers hold a CPR, First Aid and Food Handler's card as well as receive at least 15 clock hours of Early Childhood Education classes and pass a criminal background check.

We are open: Monday- Friday from 7:00 am until 6:00 pm

Our daily schedule is structured and offers flexible programs for our working families. You may enroll your child in one of the following programs we offer, which includes: Toddler, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten and Private Kindergarten. Our schedule features a morning and afternoon Art Program, weekly Cooking Classes, Gardening and Science, Music and Dance (Kinderdance), Foreign Language Classes (Sign Language and Spanish), and much more. We provide healthy and organic meals and snacks prepared fresh in our kitchens. Our facilities are smaller to offer more one on one with children in beautiful classroom settings. Outside time is spent in our garden areas or playing parachute games in the sunshine in a fenced, secure play area.

We believe in giving each family the individual and excellent care needed in growing a successful child and we look forward to building a future with your family.

We are located in the Gateway area of Portland at: 334 S.E. 146th Avenue and the Woodstock area of Portland at: 7103 S.E. 60th Avenue. Please schedule your Meet and Greet by calling the number below.
