Welcome to Wild Lilac Preschool!
Wild Lilac Preschool is a small progressive in-home preschool with two locations in Portland's vibrant Hawthorne District. Wild Lilac consists of the “Iris House”, a preschool program for 3-5 year old children and the “Daffodil House”, a preschool program for 2 year olds. Wild Lilac is a warm and loving community of preschoolers, teachers, and parents who value the importance of imagination, creativity, and play for early learners! We offer a cozy and inviting inside space to support children's imaginative play and an outside space alive with possibilities for daily adventure. In an environment rooted in respect and compassion, we strive to nourish each child's spirit, foster his or her natural sense of wonder, and provide a protective space for him or her to grow.
At Wild Lilac we honor the rhythm of the natural world in our singing, games, and stories. We notice the shifting seasons in our garden while caring for the plants, harvesting food to eat, and drawing inspiration for art projects.
In all of our activities we aim to:
- Engage the mind to wonder and question
- Enliven the imagination
- Cultivate a love of learning
- Nourish the heart to be compassionate and kind
