Gabriel Park Preschool is a non profit cooperative preschool for children ages 3-5 years old.  We are located at West Hills Covenant Church in Southwest Portland.  While we enjoyed a long relationship with St. Luke Lutheran, and look forward to a new chapter with West Hills Covenant, our school is not affiliated with any religious denomination. We are proud to have offered a play based, enriching preschool experience to area children for over 40 years!
 
Family members, children and the teacher cooperate to make our school special.  At GPPS, parents are involved in their child’s preschool experience.  Parent involvement keeps tuition low and, more importantly, gives the school a rich, nurturing environment.  Co-op preschools offer benefits to both children and parents.

(Gabriel Park Preschool is a non profit organization and does not discriminate with regards to race, color, creed or religion)
