Frequently Asked Questions

We accept children from 3 to 6 years old.

Currently we are licensed to enroll up to 6 preschool-aged children.

We implement a secular, nature-inspired curriculum that focuses on social, emotional, and cognitive development. Our curriculum is largely inspired by Charlotte Mason, and weaves together elements from several other complementary parenting and teaching philosophies, including Waldorf, Montessori, and wild schooling. Daily rhythms feature teacher-led educational activities as well as child-led unstructured play, outdoor play, and quiet time. 

We are open from 8:00am to 2:30pm, Monday to Thursday. 

Drop off is floating between 8-9am, and we ask that your child arrives by 9am to begin our day together. 

If you have a specific childcare need that falls outside these hours or days, I am open to discussing how we might accommodate that.

Wild Oak Preschool is a home-based licensed childcare program located on Williams Highway, 3 miles from the Provolt Country Store and 3 miles from Williams General Store.

Our address is 17610 Williams Hwy. 

Yes. Full-time care  (from at least 9-2 Monday through Thursday) is ideal, but we can accommodate part-time care on a case-by-case basis depending upon current enrollment (how many kids are enrolled).

Wild Oak Preschool operates from a dedicated 400 square foot indoor space with separate entry that is attached to my family home, which sits on 5 acres of fully fenced and cross-fenced land. 

The children will have daily outdoor time to play, wander, and explore with supervision. 

Tuition is $575 per month for full-time enrollment. 

This tuition rate is in alignment with what Oregon Department of Early Learning and Childcare will pay for families who qualify for the Employment-Related Day Care (ERDC), the subsidized childcare assistance program offered by Oregon DSHS. 

Yes! If you are already approved for DHS childcare assistance or ERDC, simply notify your worker that you have chosen a new provider. I can provide my provider license number upon enrollment! If you have not yet applied, go to the following link and apply ASAP! If you are waitlisted for ERDC, let's discuss how we can work out tuition while you wait for ERDC.  https://www.oregon.gov/delc/programs/pages/erdc.aspx

If you qualify for ERDC, but are currently waitlisted, and the full tuition is a barrier to you, let's discuss our options together and see what works! Schedule a meet-and-greet today!
