At Juniperhaven Preschool, we offer more than childcare, we offer a place where children are known, nurtured, and inspired every day. Rooted in the beauty of Bend, Oregon, our programs serve children from 3 months to 5 years, with after-school and summer care for older kids too. Families choose Juniperhaven for its warm, home-like environment, strong teacher relationships, and whole-child approach to learning. Through open communication and deep partnership with parents, we create a trusted foundation where children feel safe, valued, and ready to grow.
From the moment your child walks through our doors, they’re welcomed into a warm and engaging environment that supports their growth, sparks curiosity, and builds confidence.
We help children grow through connection, play, and hands-on learning. Our team partners with families to support the whole child in emotional, social, and academic development, always with warmth and respect.
To be a lasting presence in our community, where childhood is cherished, families feel at home, and relationships grow deeper with time. At Juniperhaven, we believe that childhood flourishes in safe, nurturing spaces where friendships are formed, emotions are honored, and every child is truly known. We’re building more than a preschool, this is a place where early experiences leave a lasting imprint.
We believe young children learn best through play. That’s why our preschool classrooms are full of hands-on exploration, child-led activities, and open-ended learning experiences. Our teachers use a play-based framework that encourages creativity, builds problem-solving skills, and supports social-emotional development.
In our Pre-K program, we blend child-led exploration with a structured kindergarten readiness curriculum. Children engage in early literacy, math, science, and social skills in ways that feel fun and natural. Our approach meets kids where they are while preparing them for what comes next.
Juniperhaven Preschool was founded by Amy Egle, a mom of four and experienced early childhood educator. Amy began with a licensed in-home childcare program in Bend in 2016. When she saw the growing need for high-quality, heart-centered preschool care, she took a leap and opened Juniperhaven Preschool in a renovated former church space in December 2021.
Now located in Scandia Square, just off Reed Market Road, Juniperhaven serves families from across Central Oregon. Our bright, welcoming classrooms and mural-covered exterior make us a beloved landmark for families in the area.
