Sylvania evening and Saturday childcare available
Photos and story by Heidi Edwards
Currently the Sylvania Child Development Center is enrolling children for evening and Saturday childcare without a waitlist. Students can be enrolled at any PCC campus and use this service.
Evening childcare is available Monday through Thursday 4:00 PM-9:30 PM for children 14 months through 7 years. Saturday childcare is available 8:00 AM-4:00 PM with half and whole day options for children 14 months through 6 years. These services are made possible through a grant from the City of Portland Children’s Investment Fund (CHIF).
The Child Development Center is licensed by the state of Oregon and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The Center is planned and staffed to provide a training facility for the Early Education and Family Studies department students and a sound educational program for young children. Particular emphasis is placed on building high self-esteem in children. Our anti-bias curriculum values the diversity and uniqueness of each child and his or her family. The major activity of young children is play and it is the basic ingredient of all learning. We provide a variety of constructive, dramatic, and creative materials and experiences.
Please call 503-977-4424 or stop by Sylvania HT 220 for more information.
