  • About Happy Apple Preschool

    Located in Hillsboro, Oregon, Happy Apple is a fun and involving place for your child to play and learn.

    Happy Apple Preschool is now enrolling for the fall term. We will be on the Hillsboro school district schedule. Happy Apple uses Montessori curriculum but also introduces a Waldorf style of learning. We are a small school with a maximum capacity of 20 students/day.

    The Happy Apple approach is one in which careful attention is placed on nurturing the child's innate joy and passion for education. This process happens as the child does meaningful work, completes a task successfully from start to finish and explores all life has to offer. At Happy Apple Preschool your child will enjoy learning and discovering. We teach math, reading, science, art and music. We also enjoy going for a daily nature walk.

    Practical Life: Instills care for self, for others, and for the environment. Activities include many of the tasks children see as part of the daily routine in their home, such as preparing food and washing dishes, along with exercises of grace and courtesy.

    Sensorial: Builds cognitive skills and ability to order and classify impressions by touching, seeing, smelling, tasting, listening and exploring the physical properties of a child's environment.

    Math: Gives children a solid understanding of basic mathematical principles, prepares them for later abstract reasoning, and helps to develop problem-solving capabilities.

    Language: Includes exploration of verbal and written language, learning the phonics and left to right progression.

    Science: Botany, biology, cause and effect, and engineering.

    Geography and Culture: Exploration of people in other countries, with an attitude of respect and admiration.

    Art: Gives children every opportunity to enjoy a variety of creature activities.

    Music: Learn timing, beat, melody and the passion of music.

    You can enroll full-time Monday-Friday or choose between two part-time options M/W/F or T/T. Your child needs to be 3-5 years old and potty trained.
