Your child should only have one preschool experience. It’s important to get it right.

Preschool is where the journey begins, setting the stage for kindergarten and a lifetime of discovery. It determines whether children love or simply tolerate school. It either honors or hinders their inner confidence. It sparks the academic, social, and emotional skills that all future education builds upon. Early childhood education is critical, and at KLA Schools of Hillsboro, education is extraordinary from the start because:

Learning begins on day one. From the start, children are immersed in a nurturing environment that values curiosity, creativity, and exploration.
Our programs and curriculum are inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and grounded in decades of research in early childhood education.
Academically rich and personally meaningful, our educational program honors each child’s interests while building strong foundational skills.
Children are seen as competent and capable, natural researchers who actively shape their learning through inquiry and discovery.
State-of-the-art learning spaces are designed to inspire exploration and empower students to follow their curiosity.
Parents are welcomed as partners, playing a vital role in their child’s growth and success throughout the journey.

Learn more about our innovative approach.

This is a school experience unlike any other.

When your child starts their education and graduates from KLA Schools, they head to kindergarten not just ready but ahead academically, socially, and emotionally. They carry with them a love of learning, a strong sense of self, and the confidence built in a nurturing, high-expectation environment rooted in the Hillsboro community. We're proud to be part of a community that values both care and excellence, and our children reflect that from day one.

PREPARED

for elementary school and beyond

Through immersive, hands-on learning rooted in real-world connections, our students build academic, social, and emotional skills that not only meet but exceed kindergarten expectations. They leave with the tools and the confidence to thrive.

CURIOUS

about the world—and so much more

Curiosity drives meaningful learning. Exploring their interests and engaging with thought-provoking questions helps children develop the ability to think critically, solve problems, and view the world with wonder and possibility. These habits of mind last a lifetime.

UNDERSTOOD

as a strong, capable human

Every child is seen, heard, and valued not only for who they are today but also for who they are becoming. Our teachers partner closely with parents, who we honor as a child’s first and most influential teachers. Together, we nurture each child’s unique learning journey with care, curiosity, and intentional guidance.

This is extraordinary education, from the start.

Amazing things happen when every school day is designed to support student learning and growth. New ideas come alive. Personalities and passions emerge. School becomes a place that helps children discover themselves and understand the world around them.

See why Newsweek hailed this the “best preschool approach in the world."
