Peninsula Children’s Center provides high-quality, affordable childcare and education as well as family support programs that contribute to the vitality of North and Northeast Portland.
A nonprofit organization certified by the Oregon Child Care Division, Peninsula’s programs serve 205 children ages 6-weeks to 12-years-old every year. Our early childhood education program is based in a community financed, state-of-the-art child care center, and our three before- and after-school programs operate in area elementary schools.
Our programs feature partnerships and special projects that enrich our care and benefit the children and families we serve. Through the North Portland Children & Families Partnership we provide on-site access to a Nurse Practitioner, Hearing and Speech Specialist and Mental Health Specialists. We also host free, on-site parenting classes throughout the year. Our on-site Family Advocate helps families connect with and navigate other services and agencies available for assistance.
Peninsula’s tuition structure is a sliding-scale based on family size and gross monthly income. We also accept tuition reimbursements from the Oregon Department of Human Services and other subsidy programs. Peninsula’s fundraising efforts fill the gap between the true cost of quality programs and the amount our families are able to pay.
