Nature is our classroom and studio.

Welcome to Cedar & Bones!

We are a nature-based preschool in Northwest Portland for children ages 3 to 5.

Our days are spent exploring outdoors in all seasons, making art, solving problems, building friendships, and developing confidence through movement, curiosity, creativity, and play.
