Tree of Knowledge is a child-centered Christian preschool committed to nurturing the whole child: spiritually, intellectually, socially and emotionally. While growing academically, we believe a child learns through play. We are a hands on, playbased preschool with 50+ years of successful academic preparation for Kindergarten and beyond.
Our staff is required to have current certification in Child and Infant CPR and First Aid, pass the Child Abuse and Neglect courses, hold an Oregon Food Handlers card, participate in continuing education courses. They must also pass a background check through Oregon's Central Background Registry prior to employment.
Tree of Knowledge Christian Preschool has been a ministry of East County Church of Christ for over 50 years. Our preschool has been serving the Gresham-Troutdale community since 1973.
"TOK preschool is a fantastic place. Each and every staff member goes above and beyond to celebrate each child individually and help them grow and thrive in preparation for Kindergarten. My daughter was shy and quiet and was reluctant to engage with peers, or teachers when we first started attending. By then end of the school year, she blossomed into a beam of light and joy, confident and proud to be who she is and easily makes friends and participates excitedly in classroom lessons and activities. I truly equate most of her growth to this wonderful school and even more wonderful staff. She is looking forward to “big kid school” now and we as her parents have no worries about her thriving there as well, now that she has had this experience. We are forever indebted to Tree of Life Preschool for the time and care they put into the children that attend the school. I don’t know where we would be today without them all!"
