Join us for an Open House on Thursday, June 25. Walk through our classrooms, meet our guides, and see why families have trusted Childpeace for half a century.

📅 Thursday, June 25, 2026

🕓 4:00 – 6:00 P.M.

📍 Childpeace Montessori School

1516 NW Thurman Street, Portland 97209

50 Years in Portland · AMI-Certified · A+ Rated on Niche · Toddler through 8th Grade

A school built around how children actually grow.

Come see classrooms designed for small bodies and curious minds. Meet the guides who'll know your child by name for three years, not three months. Talk to families who've been part of this community for a decade or more.


We've spent 50 years focused on how children grow, not just what they learn. The Open House is your chance to see what that looks like in practice. You'll walk through Toddler, Children's House, Elementary, and Metro Middle School spaces. You'll see the materials, the mixed-age classrooms, and the three-hour work cycles that make authentic Montessori different from what you might remember from your own schooling.


Bring your kids. Bring your questions. Stay as long as you'd like.

Here's what to expect:

4:00 PM — Arrive, sign in, and grab some Childpeace swag for your family

4:15 PM — Welcome and introductions

4:20 PM — Guided tours of our classrooms and campus

5:00 PM — Community gathering on the playground

Stay for the celebration

From 5:00 to 6:00, join us outside for live music, ice cream, snacks, and games for kids and adults alike. This is when you'll meet current Childpeace families and experience the warmth of our community firsthand. It's our favorite part of the day.

Good to know

Bringing the kids? Yes, please. The Open House is built for families. Children of all ages are welcome, and there's plenty for them to do.
