Editor’s Note

It’s been a rough winter in Portland, with the monstrous snow and ice that turned our lovely city into an igloo and kept our kids out of school for far, far too long… but before long, the buds of spring will emerge, giving way to brighter, sunnier and (please, oh please) warmer days. Promise!

In the meantime, learn about one of the coolest schools in town – full-time outdoor school run by resident outdoor education experts Trackers Earth!; browse through the second edition of our Annual Schools & Open House Guide to find the perfect fit for the 2017-2018 school year; tap into your dramatic side and check out local kid-friendly theater companies, whether the littles are content to sit in the audience or want to get some onstage action.

February is also National Children’s Dental Health Month, and our friends at World of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry gave us some key tips to best care for those precious pearly whites. Visit nwkidsmagazine.com/2017/02/kids-dental-health for deets!

Until next month,
