Small Foot

Our Teachers

Hello! I am so happy you are here. I am a mama to one great neurospicy 10 year old child. I really struggled during COVID as a single parent trying to find affordable, reliable and caring childcare for my school aged son. When I couldn’t find that, I decided to create my own space to help out other members of the community because I really felt like I couldn’t be the only one. I love to be in my outdoor space hanging out in the garden with my kiddo, plants and chickens or in the kitchen trying out new recipes and using our amazing homegrown veg. In the mornings most people find me out walking the neighborhood and enjoying the community around me or at the skate park watching my kiddo doing some new tricks. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I would love to hear from you. Did you know that there are over 20,000 different species of bees in the world with over 500 here in Oregon!

Philosophy

Small Foot is a nature based childcare program that wants to help children connect to the world around them. We have a strong focus on working together as a community. The students will be outside growing food, taking care of chickens and learning about our enviroment.

Location

We are right downtown within walking distance of the library, Centennial Park and Sam Johnson Park.
