Vermont Hills Family Life Center (VHFLC) is a not for profit organization which has provided child care in the Portland metropolitan area continuously since 1979 and currently services approximately 225 preschoolers at 3 locations and 800 school age children at nearly 30 sites.

Doors open at 7:00 a.m. for the Before School program and students head for class at 8:00 a.m.  There is opportunity for studying, quiet socializing, reading and playing games with others who arrive early.

In the After School program students like to go outside and play, adventure and find new things.  Following a free-play time outside, students come in for snack and then go straight into Quiet Time when students who have homework work on it. If they do not have homework they can read, color, draw, play a very quiet game while the rest of the class finishes their homework.  Depending on the day students might go back outside, paint, do a craft, watch a movie, or play a game.

After School Care opens at 3:00 p.m. and closes at 6:00 p.m.  The cost for both programs is calculated on an hourly basis.

The Forest Hills program is operated by Vermont Hills Family Life Centers of Portland.  For a description of their program, click here.

"At Vermont Hills, we value and respect each child's individuality as well as the child's
opportunity to experience fun, wonder and challenge in a social setting with positive,
healthy role models."
