Welcome to New Day School - A Neo-Humanist Preschool!

Located in the heart of Southeast Portland, New Day School offers a comprehensive full-day preschool program for children aged 2.5 to 5 years. Our curriculum is designed to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where young minds can thrive. As a leading daycare and preschool in SE Portland, we are dedicated to fostering growth and a love for learning in every child.

Comprehensive Preschool Program & Enriching Learning Environment

At New Day School, we offer a Comprehensive Preschool Program that embodies a Neo-Humanistic approach to education. We emphasize the holistic development of every child, nurturing social sensitivity, fostering creativity, and instilling a profound respect for the environment and all animate and inanimate beings in the universe. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed with themed activities, creating a structured yet dynamic environment where children can explore ideas and cultivate their innate curiosity. Coupled with our vibrant and nurturing learning environment, which encourages creativity, exploration, and discovery, we provide ample opportunities for hands-on learning and purposeful engagement. This approach helps children develop essential skills and a deep understanding of themselves and the world around them.

Flexible Scheduling Options

We understand that every family has unique scheduling needs. That’s why we offer flexible enrollment options, including two, three, and five-day-a-week full day programs. This flexibility allows parents to choose the best schedule for their situation, ensuring that every child receives the highest quality of care and education.

Neo-Humanist Education Philosophy

Our curriculum is rooted in the Neo-Humanist education philosophy propounded by Mr. P.R. Sarkar, which emphasizes the holistic development of children by integrating their physical, mental, and spiritual growth. This philosophy promotes universal love and respect for all life forms, including plants, animals, and the environment. Our curriculum facilitates physical well-being through yoga and outdoor play, stimulates mental capabilities by fostering curiosity and a love for learning, and nurtures spiritual growth by instilling values of love, kindness, and respect. Our goal is to develop compassionate, well-rounded individuals who are aware of their interconnectedness with others and the planet. Our educators, trained in Neo-Humanistic principles, create a flexible, culturally sensitive, and inclusive learning environment. This approach prepares children for future academic endeavors, teaches empathy and cooperation, and promotes sustainable living, ensuring they grow into confident, compassionate, and knowledgeable individuals ready to make a positive impact on the world.

Experienced and Caring Educators

Our team of educators is professionally trained in early childhood education and the principles of Neo-Humanism. They are dedicated to creating a supportive and enriching environment for all students. Our teachers act as role models, advisors, and mentors, ensuring that each child feels valued and empowered.
