Fruit and Flower Child Care Center

Fruit & Flower is a wonderful, warm, engaging, happy place that allows me to be a better mom and a productive part of the working world. The teachers clearly love the children and that means the world to me. My daughter blossoms daily and runs into her room to start her day of fun, reading, activity and learning. I would recommend F&F above all other centers in the Portland area. Added bonus...they provide all the food throughout the day (included in the monthly fee), which is not only healthy, but nutritious and has great variety. She eats things at F&F that she would never eat at home! Pros: Just about everything Cons: Building is a bit old, but getting upgraded soon more

Fruit and Flower is an excellent child care center. When we moved to Portland everyone we asked recommended this as the best in town. They are not wrong. My children have been nurtured and cared for by the best early childhood teachers and staff. One can tell the long tradition for excellence of this center, in existence since 1906. Fantastic children:caregiver ratios at all age levels, long-tenured teachers, play-based learning, music, spanish...all included in the monthly rate without extra fees! Diversity and culture are embraced in the Fruit and Flower community. I cannot say enough good things. I highly recommend this wonderful place to parents living or moving to Oregon. Pros: Long history, play-based learning, experienced teachers Cons: Cannot think of any! more
