The St. Johns Bridge Buddies Educational Preschool Program is based on the philosophy that children develop & grow at their own rate. In order to grow & develop their senses a child must “play” by exploring & manipulating their environment. To enhance this experience, the classroom is set up in learning centers that enable children to explore different areas of development such as fine motor, socialization, pre-math, pre-reading & listening skills. Preschool for your child is the foundation for academic learning. The St. Johns Bridge Buddies program follows the traditional school schedule with children enrolled September through early June.

St. Johns

Preschool For Little Ones Ages: 2 ½-3 Are You Ready? Play is the essential work of childhood, worthy of respect & encouragement.

Portland Parks & Recreation SENIOR ACTIVE PASS forInclusion fitness Services

Portland Parks & Recreation

For People With Special Needs

Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to participate in programs offered citywide.

How it Works

St. Johns

1. Choose the activity you would like to participate in, and then the PP&R site where the activity is being offered.

2. Register for the activity. You can do this in person at a PP&R site, or on-line at www.

PortlandParks.org. When registering, let the person know that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity (online, check the box.)

3. Once registered, please contact Inclusion Services at 503-823-4328. If this is your first accommodation through Inclusion Services you will need to do a phone intake with a staff member. At the end of the phone intake, it will be determined whether an assistant will be needed on the first day of the activity to provide on-site support. Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs.

Important Details

SUN Community

A general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids and services, but the basic structure of the program remains the same.

Accommodations are made as needed, and can be flexible and creative. Participants need to register for activities that are intended for their birth age.

Personal care is provided for activities in the preschool and youth category, up through age 12.

If you have questions about Inclusion Services, please call 503-823-4328 V/TTY. A minimum of 10 business days (Monday-Friday) advance notice is required. The Inclusion Services staff will do their best to accommodate each participant.
