"We Don't Make Mistakes, We Make Learnings"

For an innovative, hands-on approach to science and technology, arts and creative movement, problem solving and computer awareness, come visit the welcoming halls of Forest Grove Preschool Academy of Arts & Technology.

Co-owners and teachers extraordinaire Karen Chaplin and Alicja Podgorska mesh harmoniously in their philosophies towards early childhood education. These teachers each bring 21 years experience to the school; Karen with her background in curriculum and parent workshops and Alicja with her Masters in Education and experience with special needs.

Forest Grove Preschool Academy has a fabulous ratio of only eight children to one teacher. This allows the focused attention each student needs to blossom. Believing that “variety is the spice of education”, the school introduces varied subject matter from the arts of language and dance, to natural science and technology. The range of subjects and the unique interwoven way they are approached, prepares the students for further education while supporting the concept that learning is fun. Offering before and after-school programs, preschool, junior and senior kindergarten, Karen and Alicja can provide your family with a range of educational choices in a stimulating, loving, environment.
