At Chrysalis your child will develop their creativity, intellect, motor skills and social abilities with a small group of peers in a comfortable home setting.  Your child’s natural curiosity will lead them through an unlimited range of learning situations. 

Maria Montessori calls this the time of the absorbent mind, during which children are like sponges, soaking up information, attitudes and sensations from all around them, taking in the world.

In an atmosphere permitting both playfulness and quiet individual activity, your child is encouraged to independently explore their own interests and develop at their own rate. Our teaching professionals gently guide your child in establishing the foundations of independence, order, respect, and self-esteem.

Colleen’s daughter, Lily, will be opening up a new in-person Chrysalis Preschool in 2021. This will be a very similar school to the original, and will be based in Lily’s home in the Montavilla neighborhood. She is hopeful to have students start in September, but that does depend on some home renovation, which we all know can face delays. If you would like to be updated on enrollment for fall of 2021, you can sign up here. To talk with Lily directly for more information, you can email: ChrysalisPreschoolPDX@gmail.com
