Tigard Playschool

Our school started at Tigard United Methodist Church as a private kindergarten, and became incorporated on May 12, 1958. Later the kindergarten added a preschool (Tigard Kindergarten and Tigard Playschool), and the two non-profit organizations merged on December 18, 1974 with Tigard Playschool, Inc. remaining as the "surviving corporation." The Playschool became a member of the Parent Child Preschools of Oregon (PCPO) during the late 1970's and gained its preschool status.

When children first visit our school, they are naturally drawn into the classrooms because they look like such great places to play! Parents, however, are always relieved to know that our space is not only fun, it is also organized into distinct learning centers. Materials are carefully selected for each area so that no matter where children choose to spend their time, they are learning.

Tigard Playschool has a strong reputation in the community for a warm, loving environment with close teacher-student relationships. Our curriculum is known for its creative art, sensory science, enthusiastic music and movement program and popular dramatic play area with themes that change monthly.
