This is my son's first year at Marylhurst and he loves what he is learning and how he is learning it. He is currently in pre-school participating in music, PE and Spanish and we plan to extend into Kindergarten and beyond. There is a true sense of community amongst the school. The learning style is definitely great for our kiddo. I highly recommend you tour, it's what sold me!

Wonderful teachers. Small student to teacher ratio. When your child goes to this school you become a part of a community devoted to what the children and the parents need. Teachers have been understanding and accommodating of my sensory sensative kiddo. I vote this one of the best preschools in Oregon.
