TBI Preschool's foundation is built upon core Jewish values, and inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy. We aim to nurture gratitude and social responsibility in our children, families and staff. Our environments provide a warm experience in which children's physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and creativity is supported, and their individuality is respected.​ TBI is a community preschool that welcomes everyone!

Inclusion Statement

TBI Preschool is committed to serving the needs of all families. We joyfully offer Jewish experiences, and we welcome children and families from all cultural and religious backgrounds. TBI Preschool does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or beliefs.

 

All children deserve access to an education that is equitable and accessible no matter their background. TBI teachers will prepare and implement their curriculum and environment to inspire the play of all children and will not implement programming that specifically labels or separates children based on characteristics or backgrounds that are an inherent part of who they are. We will not enforce common stereotypes such as how specific genders behave, present themselves, or any materials or activities with which they engage. Each child and family will be accepted and celebrated as they are.

TBI Preschool is a Five-Star Spark Program!

TBI Preschool is a 5-star rated program, and we strive to maintain an environment that reflects the highest quality indicators of the Oregon Spark program. TBI Preschool Educators must always reference the Oregon Spark domains when creating and implementing curriculum and designing the classroom environments.

​

Spark is Oregon’s Quality Recognition and Improvement System (QRIS). It is a voluntary program designed to support and recognize high quality early childhood care and education programs. Continuous Quality Improvement is the foundation of Spark. Programs have completed a rigorous process to ensure high quality early learning and education for children and families in Oregon.

 

In early learning and educational settings, high quality includes some of the following features and benefits:

• Attached, supportive relationships with a qualified caregiver/teacher

• Environments which are stimulating and appropriate for each child

• Experiences and activities that support all aspects of a child’s development

• Strong partnerships between families and early educators

Family participation/involvement:

As part of TBI, we welcome your family to participate in however you can. We have opportunities for volunteering, participating in events, and joining/steering parent committees. Your child’s classroom doors are always open, and we encourage family to be as active as their schedule allows.

Parent/Educator Communication

Parent/Educator communication is essential to positive home/school connections and an overall successful experience. Please reach out to your child/ren’s Educators to let them know how we can create important connections with your child and family. As part of joining TBI Preschool, your child/ren’s Educator will reach out to introduce themselves and their classroom via email before your child/ren’s first day with us. Daily communication is encouraged in-person, email, and through a private platform called Brightwheel. Our Educators and Staff will also provide your family with monthly newsletters as well as reminders for upcoming events, closures, etc.
