At Amazon Creek Preschool we are committed to providing positive guidance to help children develop appropriate behavior.
Our policy is simple: we want to help you become respectful and understanding of others and develop your self-control.
-We will be consistent with the classroom rules and everything will be appropriate to the age of the children, always explaining our classroom rules to them during play and circle time.
- Understand their feelings at all times, show them that we care about them, and that we want to help them know that it is okay to make mistakes and sometimes there are natural consequences.
Strategy
-The constant routine
-The rules of the classroom are the same for everyone,
-We will always modify the room if necessary to prevent problems.
-Talk to children at their level
-Make them feel comfortable
-Listen to everyone and sometimes we will talk together to resolve a conflict and solve it like the friends we are.
-Always look for more strategies as material that can be used to teach social skills such as taking turns, treating others with kindness and conflict resolution.
-Share with parents what we are doing to work as a team.
-Here there is only understanding and respect for the feelings of all children.

AMAZON CREEK PRESCHOOL STORY
Hello Parents,
Welcome to Amazon Creek Preschool. I am Paloma Toledo, and I am a bilingual/bicultural teacher. I’m offering care for Two and a half to five year olds from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. We will be learning and playing in both English and Spanish.
Our play-based curriculum helps kids with creativity, curiosity and problem-solving. Our daily activities pull from a curriculum plan based on STEM or kid-sized science, engineering and math.
Garden and bilingual program. We are right across the street from the Amazon Creek stream and look forward to exploring what all is living down in there.
Briefly, about myself, I am originally from Mexico City, and I have had 13 action packed years of experience here in a local major Center. I have had extensive early childhood development training through LCC and addition workshops. I have five Certificates from LCC including Guide and Curriculum, Mind in the Making and Early Child Care Business, 310 hours of college level courses and 304 hours of Community-based trainings.
In my 14 years of experience, I have most enjoyed being the Gardening/Spanish language specialist in the Preschool age group.
My additional professional experience includes Child Care Liaison at Downtown Languages for eight years and the PILAS Family Literacy Program. I am a Step 7.5 in the Statewide Oregon Registry teacher certification program.
