First Steps Bilingual Preschool & Child Care
Play-based bilingual preschool for ages 3–5 in Beaverton, helping children build confidence, early academic skills, and kindergarten readiness in English and Spanish.
At First Steps Bilingual Preschool and Childcare, our preschool program helps children ages 3 to 5 build the skills they need for kindergarten and beyond.
Through play-based learning in English and Spanish, children strengthen early literacy, number sense, communication, independence, and social-emotional skills.
In our preschool classroom, children practice following routines, solving problems, working with peers, and expressing themselves with confidence.
Each day includes hands-on learning, art, music, movement, outdoor play, and guided activities designed for preschool development.
Located right off Allen Blvd and Murray Blvd in Beaverton, our licensed preschool program is ideal for working families who want safe care, strong routines, and a joyful, bilingual learning environment.
You are not just choosing a preschool. You are choosing the team that will spend many of your child’s waking hours with them.
Choosing a preschool is a big decision. Families choose First Steps when they want an environment that feels warm and personal, while still offering a thoughtful school readiness program.
Our preschool curriculum meets children where they are, from early 3 year olds still gaining confidence to 5 year olds getting ready for kindergarten enrollment.
Children hear, speak, and practice both languages throughout the day. This supports brain development, communication, and cultural awareness.
Preschoolers participate in music, movement, art, outdoor exploration, and enrichment such as piano and cooking activities, which keep them engaged and curious.
We blend a proven, play based curriculum with modern tools to track learning, plan activities, and keep families informed about daily progress.
Our teachers are experienced in early childhood education and understand how to support preschoolers as they build confidence, independence, and school-readiness skills.
We are open Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM, with both full time and part time preschool options available for Beaverton families.
Pricing includes breakfast, lunch, and two snacks (morning and afternoon).

Preschoolers are ready to take on more responsibility and more complex thinking. Our Beaverton preschool program is intentionally designed to help them grow into confident, capable learners.
We support children as they:
Practice using words to solve conflicts and express feelings
Develop early reading and writing readiness skills
Strengthen number sense, patterns, and problem solving
Build friendships and learn empathy
Participate in bilingual songs, stories, and conversations
Take care of their belongings and classroom materials
Make age appropriate choices and see themselves as capable
Our preschoolers practice recognizing letters, participating in group learning, following classroom routines, asking questions, and taking responsibility for simple tasks. These everyday habits help children feel prepared for a successful transition into kindergarten.
We know every family has unique priorities when it comes to preschool. Communication and partnership are central to how we work.
We collaborate with you on:
Your child’s learning goals and areas of focus
Cultural and language preferences at home
Approaches to behavior, encouragement, and boundaries
Any support needs or sensitivities your child may have
Transition plans from toddler care into preschool and from preschool into kindergarten
Our goal is to work alongside you, not in place of you. We keep you informed and involved so you always know what your child is learning and how they are growing.
Our preschool schedule is consistent and predictable, while leaving plenty of room for exploration and joy. Children know what to expect and feel secure, which helps them learn more easily.
Children ease into the day with open ended centers like blocks, dramatic play, books, and table activities.
The class gathers to greet each other, sing songs, review the calendar, talk about the weather, and introduce the day’s theme in both English and Spanish.
Teachers lead small group activities focused on literacy, math, early writing, science, and social skills, while other children explore learning centers at their level.
Art, sensory bins, simple experiments, and cooking style activities help children learn through doing, not just listening.
After lunch, children enjoy rest time with calming music and stories. Non nappers are given quiet activities so everyone has a chance to reset.
The day ends with more centers, music, movement, and teacher led activities that reinforce the day’s learning in fun, age appropriate ways.
Our preschool program builds the foundational skills children need for confidence, communication, and kindergarten readiness.
Letter recognition and phonological awareness
Pencil grip and pre-writing strokes
Counting, sorting, and patterns
Following directions and classroom routines
Sharing, turn-taking, and expressing feelings
Our goal is to work alongside you, not in place of you. We keep you informed and involved so you always know what your child is learning and how they are growing.
