Welcome to Little Loggers Playschool, a heart-driven initiative by the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Glide Revitalization. Our journey spans over two years, marked by passion, dedication, and a deep commitment to addressing the evolving needs of our community.

From the beginning of this project, we've weathered the challenges of location development and staffing, delving into extensive research to truly understand what our community requires. As we navigated this path, we found inspiration in the rich history of Glide, Oregon—a town rooted in the timber industry and the proud host of the old Glide Mill.

However, the story of Glide is not only one of prosperity but also resilience. In 2020, the Archie Creek fire swept through our community, leaving a trail of devastation. Many of our neighbors faced unimaginable losses—homes, cherished memories, and the very foundations of their lives were upended. In response, Glide Revitalization committed itself to working alongside federal, state, and local organizations to aid those affected by the fire, supporting their recovery every step of the way.

In the aftermath, we identified a pressing issue that extended beyond the immediate crisis—the lack of available childcare in Douglas County, and specifically in Glide. Existing facilities were burdened with long waitlists and limited availability, leaving parents and families in a challenging situation.

This realization gave birth to Little Loggers Playschool—an endeavor by Glide Revitalization to provide support for those in need of childcare near their homes. We stand ready to serve our community with open arms, offering not only relief for fire impacted families but also a nurturing environment for Glide's entire population.

Our mission extends beyond providing childcare; we are deeply committed to shaping the future of Glide's youth. Through engaging activities and a curriculum that honors the history of our town and the legacy of the lumber industry that defined it, we aim to instill a sense of pride and connection among our little loggers.

At Little Loggers Playschool, we believe in the power of community, resilience, and the transformative impact of early education. Join us in this journey as we build not just a playschool but a cornerstone for the growth and development of Glide, Oregon.
