Our Community Vision

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.

Play-Based Preschool Curriculum with Kindergarten Readiness in Bend, OR

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.

Trusted Bend Preschool and Childcare Center Since 2016

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.

What Bend Parents Are Saying About Juniperhaven Preschool

Ashley Bennett
My son has been Attending Juniperhaven since early/mid summer 2023 and we absolutely love it! They really do go the extra mile in caring for the kiddos. Their communication between parents and staff is awesome. My kids have been through a lot of childcare centers, most of which didn't meet all of my kids needs. I wish I had found them sooner. I would absolutely recommend Juniperhaven to any parent looking for childcare. They are the 1st I would recommend.
Destiny Carpentier
I am a single mom who struggled finding childcare. We had gone through about 3 before we ran across Juniperhaven. They have been the absolute best thing that has happened! The teachers are amazing and love the kids so much. They always have a warm welcoming smile on their face. I recommend this preschool and childcare for both their day care program and their after school program! ❤️
