Welcome To Bon Juju
About Bon Juju Preschool
Bon Juju is a cozy, whimsical preschool on a quarter acre with a small, close-knit community of families with children ages 2-5. Our nature time, seasonal performances, organic meals, and home-like setting create a soft introduction from a child’s home to their first community. Our cohort is small by design with 6 students and the same teacher daily, helping build close relationships and secure attachments. Days are structured but joyful and free-spirited - with curriculum unfolding through the seasons, drawing inspiration from Reggio Emilia, Waldorf education, and the interests of each year’s unique group of children. This is the perfect preschool for a family who values a non-institutional homeschool environment. We have space available and would love to connect with your family!
Warmly,
Chloe, Owner and Teacher

Owner & Lead Teacher
My vision for Bon Juju began over a decade ago while co-running a preschool in California. Years later, as I searched for the right environment for my own daughter, that vision fully came into focus. I was looking for a space that felt as warm and grounding as home, while offering the richness and intention of a thoughtfully designed school experience.
Bon Juju was created to be a boutique, home-based preschool that blends the comfort of a nurturing environment with the depth of an intentional early childhood program. With years of experience working with young children, my goal is to offer a space that is deeply safe, calm, and inspiring—where children feel secure enough to explore, create, and grow.
My work is guided by a strong foundation in Early Childhood Education, along with a BA in English Literature, which informs my approach to curriculum design and storytelling. I draw most closely from Reggio Emilia and Waldorf philosophies, weaving together play, creativity, nature, and social-emotional development. My background in theater informs a love of music, imaginative play, and seasonal classroom experiences, including meaningful showcases shared with families throughout the year.
I bring a thoughtful, organized, and intuitive presence to my work. I value beauty, rhythm, and connection in the classroom, and aim to create a space that feels both magical and deeply grounded. Parents have kindly likened me to a blend of Mary Poppins, Maria from The Sound of Music, and Miss Rachel - compliments I aspire to each day :)
Safety Considerations:
I am CPR certified and have the certifications required for childcare providers in OR. To verify my identity / background check status, you may reach out to the Child Care Licensing Division : 1 (800) 556-6616 / ccld.customerservice@delc.oregon.gov
