Mountain Star Preschool & Kindergarten

Mountain Star Preschool and Kindergarten’s inviting classroom and spacious garden is the perfect mix of outdoors and cozy indoor space. Under the shade of a towering walnut tree, our days follow a nurturing rhythm filled with imaginative play, domestic arts, singing and movement circle, puppet shows and storytelling, crafts, gardening, and communal meal times. 

Mountain Star is led by Rebecca Wujek and Jihan Nicholas, a Waldorf trained early childhood teacher. Together, they have over a decade of experience working with young children in various learning environments including forest schools, wilderness therapy and outdoor recreational programs, Waldorf early childhood programs, and volunteering with child-focused nonprofits. 

We offer a 4-day a week program, for children ages 3 - 6 years old, Monday - Thursday, from 9:00 am -1:00 pm with optional aftercare from 1:00-3:00 pm. 

Mountain Star is licensed through the state of Oregon and accepts ERDC funds and is located at 185 N. Mountain Ave in Ashland at the Havurah.
