Birchsong Play School

We’re a small, creative preschool centrally located in SW Portland, just minutes from Lake Oswego, Sellwood, OHSU, Hillsdale and Multnomah Village. Our educative approach is an intentional blend of Montessori, Waldorf, Reggio-Emilia and Forest School.

Where children’s natures are nurtured.

At Birchsong Play School, children move freely across thoughtfully prepared indoor and outdoor environments where kind, experienced educators meet them with joy and respect. Children’s bodies are nourished with organic, home cooked meals and their hearts and minds are encouraged to learn and love. It seems almost too good to be true, but then, so does your child.

A Welcoming Atmosphere

With salvaged wood vaulted ceilings, lots of light and windows, and perfectly chosen natural wooden toys and materials, your child will feel at home away from home.

You Belong

Every family structure, religious identity, race, culture, and gender identity is welcome. We aim to create a peaceful community that accepts, celebrates and encourages one another during this precious stage of life.
