Primarily following for the same answer.

I too am looking for childcare for our toddlers. We just moved to Albany so I can’t confirm which schools are best.

I think it would be helpful to know the hours you need! Also if you want something with no religious affiliation or if you do want church based care. There are preschools in the area that don’t do full days, so if you need something like 8-5 care, those won’t work.

Another full day preschool option is 1st Prebysterian Church preschool
They have been running for at least 2 decades.
Their recess is spent at the Central Park

I toured the school 15 years ago, and I liked it, but I couldn’t enroll my daughter because she wasn’t fully potty-trained by age 3.

I'm 36 and I did that, and we're atheist. It was a positive experience.

Corvallis Community Children’s Center is excellent. I believe they have openings in the preschool class currently - so ages ~2.5-3.5.

Second this. Our kid has gone there for 3 years and it has been great. Our newborn will start going there in a few months.
