Growing Together.
Early learning and child care for children 6 weeks through 12 years in Sheridan, Oregon.
At SHACC, childhood is more than preparation for what comes next. It is something worth protecting, experiencing, and enjoying.
We create a place where children are known by name, families are valued as partners, curiosity is encouraged, and learning happens through relationships, play, movement, nature, and meaningful experiences.

We take the time to learn who your child is, what makes them curious, what helps them feel safe, what makes them laugh, and how they experience the world around them.

Because before children can confidently explore the world, they need to know they have a safe place to come back to.

More than child care.
More than child care.
Our work is about more than keeping children safe while their grown-ups work.
It is about creating a place where children can grow, wonder, play, connect, create, and become more confident in who they are.
We believe early childhood should include muddy shoes, messy art, big questions, belly laughs, quiet moments, growing independence, and adults who genuinely care.
RELATIONSHIPS FIRST
Children are not just cared for. They are known, seen, heard, and valued.
NATURE-BASED LEARNING
The outdoors is part of our classroom. Children learn through seasons, movement, exploration, and connection with the natural world.
PLAY IS LEARNING
Play gives children opportunities to practice language, problem-solving, social skills, creativity, independence, and so much more.
FAMILY PARTNERSHIP
Families bring knowledge, culture, experiences, and perspectives that belong in their child’s learning journey.
INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN
Every child deserves to see themselves reflected, respected, welcomed, and celebrated.
GROWING TOGETHER
We support children, families, educators, and future educators as part of one connected community.

Mission
Mission
At SHACC, we champion every child’s right to thrive in a world that sees, values, and nurtures them from the very beginning. Rooted in nature-based learning and guided by the belief that care and connection are the heart of education, we create inclusive spaces where curiosity is sparked, confidence is cultivated, and compassion is modeled every day.
We center family voices as co-creators in the learning journey, celebrate cultural identities as strengths, and provide environments that reflect the diversity and brilliance of our community. Through meaningful partnerships with families, educators, high school apprentices, and local schools, we foster a supportive and collaborative network where every child—and every caregiver—feels a true sense of belonging.
Vision
Vision
We envision a future where every child, regardless of background, enters kindergarten not only ready to learn but also ready to lead with joy, resilience, and a deep sense of self-worth.
At SHACC, early education is a powerful driver of equity, and we are committed to transforming what it means to prepare children for success. We empower young learners, uplift the voices of families, nurture the professional growth of early educators, and mentor high school students as future leaders in care and education.
Together, we are building a model of early learning that reflects the values of justice, community, and possibility—where every classroom is a place of wonder, and every child knows they matter.
