Peninsula Children’s Center provides high-quality, affordable childcare and education as well as family support programs that contribute to the vitality of North and Northeast Portland.
A nonprofit organization certified by the Oregon Child Care Division, Peninsula’s programs serve 160 children ages 6-weeks to 12-years-old every year. Our early childhood education program is based in a community financed, state-of-the-art child care center, and our two before- and after-school programs operate in area elementary schools.
Our programs feature partnerships and special projects that enrich our care and benefit the children and families we serve. We partner with Morrison Child and Family Services for an on-site Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist who leads free parenting classes throughout the year and works with children, parents and teachers as needed. Our Early Childhood Success Project sponsors an on-site Nurse Practitioner who provides medical screening and care for children and is a medical resource for parents and teachers.
Peninsula Children's Center is committed to providing quality child care and education to families of all income levels. We have competitive tuition rates and limited scholarship assistance is available for working and low-income families. We also accept tuition reimbursements from the Oregon Department of Human Services and other subsidy programs. Peninsula’s fundraising efforts fill the gap between the true cost of quality programs and the amount our families are able to pay.
