What we offer at Ohana Learning Days
Montessori-style learning, park days, meals, games, events and the everyday skills little ones need next. Here is what a day with us looks like at both of our Beaverton locations.
Montessori-style learning in Beaverton
Our rooms follow Montessori ideas: low shelves, child-sized tables and materials children can reach on their own. Children choose an activity, work at their own pace and put it away when they finish.
- Hands-on materials such as counting beads, puzzles and sorting trays
- Child-height shelves and furniture that invite independence
- Calm, uncluttered spaces for focused work
- Teachers who guide and observe instead of lecturing
Basic skills development for young children
Every day builds the skills children need for preschool and kindergarten, through play instead of worksheets.
- Early literacy: letters, sounds, books and storytime
- Early math: counting, shapes, colors and patterns
- Fine motor skills: beads, tracing, pouring and building
- Self-help: washing hands, putting on shoes and tidying up
- Social skills: sharing, taking turns and using kind words
Games and activities that make learning fun
Learning feels like play here. Children move, sing, build and pretend, and they pick up new skills without realizing it.
- Songs, music and movement
- Puzzles, matching and counting games
- Pretend play in our play kitchen
- Art, sensory play and building with soft blocks
Park days and frequent outdoor play
Children need room to run. We get outside often, with frequent outdoor play and park days. Children from our SW 192nd Ave location visit Hazeldale Park, a Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District park near the center.
- Playground, open grass and shady paths at Hazeldale Park
- Fresh air and space to run, climb and explore
- Practice sharing and teamwork on the playground
- Ask us about our current park day schedule
Meal prep and family-style meals
Children eat together at the table, the way a family does. Meals are prepared by our team.
- Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack at our SW Beaverton Center
- Eating together builds manners and conversation
- Tell us about allergies and food preferences when you visit
Events and family celebrations
ʻOhana means family, so we bring families together. We host events and celebrations during the year, and parents are welcome.
- Seasonal and holiday celebrations
- Family gatherings with the children and teachers
- Ask about upcoming dates when you call
Common questions.

It is a child-led approach where children choose hands-on activities from low shelves, work at their own pace and build independence. Our rooms and materials follow these ideas.
