A Strong Foundation For A Bright Future
Founded in 2016, A Child's Place Early Learning School is the newest school within the Good Shepherd Montessori family. Good Shepherd Montessori proudly operates three other well-established locations throughout the Beaverton area, bringing years of experience and a strong commitment to quality Montessori education to our community.
Here at A Child's Place we combine the timeless principles of the Montessori Method with a warm, engaging environment designed for today's families. Through purposeful, hands-on experiences, children build independence, confidence, and a genuine love for learning.
From their first classroom experiences, to their biggest milestones we provide thoughtful care and meaningful learning opportunities at every stage.
Our Mission
Our mission at A Child's Place is to provide an authentic Montessori education and experience that supports the development of the whole child — socially, mentally and physically. We encourage curiosity, kindness and independence while providing each child the freedom and guidance to grow at their own pace.
Why the Montessori Method
Produces Lifelong Learners
Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900s, the Montessori approach is one of the most researched and replicated educational models in history — and for good reason. It works.
Dr. Montessori recognized that the young child absorbs knowledge at a rapid pace. The key is to foster this critical phase and use it to their advantage. Because of this, Montessori classrooms are designed to adapt to each child's pace, interests, and developmental stage. The Montessori Method is a personalized approach of learning that lasts a lifetime.
At A Child's Place, our prepared environments invite children to engage with age-matched materials independently. The result is deep concentration, intrinsic motivation, and the developmental skills that fuel academic and personal success.
