For more than 25 years, we’ve provided a highly respected, safe, and nurturing environment that encourages children to explore and learn
about themselves, their peers, and their world.

Our curriculum helps students develop the intellectual and social skills needed to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.

Community Arts Preschool began in 1981 at the Lakewood Center for the Arts in downtown Lake Oswego. We’ve grown from serving 32 students to more than 100, with a staff of 11 highly experienced and dedicated teaching professionals.

Since 1997, Community Arts has been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). This gold standard of certification requires an extensive on-going review process of the curriculum, classroom, teachers and training, including on-site observations.

Over the decades, we’ve seen many of our students and parents develop friendships that continue far beyond the preschool years.

Community Arts is a special place-we’re glad you’re part of it!
