Thank-you for taking the time to read about Wattle Child Care, a boutique child care service located in North West Portland, Oregon. Wattle provides care for children aged two through to five years. We also offer after school care and summer programs during the months of July and August. At Wattle we believe that in maintaining small group sizes children have access to a more personalised child care approach similar to that of which they receive in their home environment – hence ‘Creating a Home away from Home’. At Wattle the programs and activities are planned through observation and consideration of the individual. • A spacious play and work room with separate age specific stations aimed to maximise children’s knowledge and potential at each phase in learning. • Our kitchen and art space allow children to make a mess with playdough creations, cooking, or finger painting – perhaps challenge themselves with a craft project. • Our beautiful and expansive backyard garden also provides opportunities to explore native trees, flowers and have a blast catching or peeking in on insects. • With a paved sports court on the property older children seeking to release a little more energy through some basketball, hand ball or hop skotch can do so safely while being supervised at all times.
