A joyful co-op preschool where children explore, discover, and begin their German language journey — no experience required for families.
Here's what you need to know before reaching out.
Children must be by the first day of school and independently toilet trained.
Families share in running the school. Each parent volunteers as classroom helper on a rotating schedule.

Schedule a Visit →Our spacious classroom is designed for discovery — rich with toys, materials, and invitations to explore. Outside, children roam and learn in a beautiful natural area with room to run, climb, and imagine.
German is woven naturally into every part of the day through songs, stories, play, and conversation. Children absorb language the same way they absorb everything else — by living it.

Portland Kinderschule offers a play-based German immersion program for children ages 3–5. Our small class size of 12 children allows each child to receive individual attention while building lasting friendships.
As a cooperative preschool, our families are the backbone of the school. Every family takes on a role — from board positions to classroom helper days — and in return gains a close-knit community and a deeper connection to their child's education.
