Update for the 2020-2021 school year

Over the next few months, our team will be working on a strategic reopening plan with a goal to open community centers in September. It is possible that this timeline, procedures for safe operations and the number of families we are able to serve may change as the state of emergency progresses.

This page will be updated as new information becomes available.


Open Enrollment for the 2020-2021 School Year Begins Wednesday, February 19

Portland Parks & Recreation is dedicated to providing a play-based, child-centered educational preschool program for ages 3-5 years old. Play is an important avenue for learning. It is our goal to honor where each child is in their development and to make goals to foster the individual child's growth and development. It is our belief that ALL children want to be successful; we are committed to providing guidance that supports each child and classroom.

Scholarships and Financial Assistance

Portland Parks & Recreation recognizes that some residents of the City of Portland may require financial assistance to participate in our programming. We believe all preschool-age children should have access to educational opportunities in their community. If the cost of Portland Parks Preschool is out of your reach, we encourage you to speak to our staff about scholarship opportunities that may align the price to your family’s budget.
