Belmont Academy

What Belmont Academy does

Belmont Academy is a non-profit school founded in 1973 in SE Portland, Oregon. It provides child care and early education for children from 3 months to 12 years through infant and toddler care, preschool and pre-K, before- and after-school care, summer camp, and dance and gymnastics add-ons. Its campus includes four historical buildings, a gymnasium, three playgrounds, a courtyard, and on-site dance and gymnastics facilities, with weekday operations from 7am to 6pm. Two 14-passenger buses provide pickup and drop-off for school-age children at four local elementary schools.

Tuition is the disclosed core revenue stream, with age-based monthly pricing for 3-, 4-, and 5-day schedules; summer camp is priced weekly and carries registration, supply, and deposit fees. Published rates range from $550 per month for after-school care to $2,090 per month for five-day infant/wobbler care, with a 10% multi-child family discount and other enrollment terms. Enrollment is direct-to-consumer: families can request tours by email and join a first-come, first-served waitlist through the website and PDX Waitlist. The disclosed technology is operational rather than a differentiated care platform: PDX Waitlist supports online enrollment intake, while Google reCAPTCHA protects the website contact form; the supplied data do not describe proprietary education or care software.

Broad incumbents

• KinderCare Learning Companies: Largest national for-profit child care provider, with comparable age-based program tiers (infant through school-age) and a tuition-based recurring revenue model. KinderCare is referenced in Belmont's own staff bios (teacher Aurora previously worked for Kindercare), making it a directly relevant competitor for Portland-area families.
• Primrose Schools: National franchise of private early childhood education schools offering proprietary Balanced Learning curriculum from infant through Pre-K and after-school. Competes for premium-tier families with similar full-day care and enrichment-oriented positioning.
• The Goddard School: National franchise of accredited private early childhood education schools serving infants through Pre-K. Competes in the same premium child care segment with proprietary play-based curriculum and similar year-round, full-day scheduling models.
• Bright Horizons Family Solutions: National child care and early education provider operating center-based programs across the U.S., including the Pacific Northwest. Bright Horizons competes for the same working-family demographic Belmont serves, with comparable age-spanning curriculum and full-day scheduling.

Direct peers

• Guidepost Montessori: Montessori-focused early childhood operator that blends pure Montessori with hybrid approaches — closely matching Belmont's eclectic curriculum that includes Montessori elements. Operates across multiple U.S. markets and competes for parents seeking structured, enrichment-rich programs.

Regional players

• Community Child Care Center (Portland): Portland-area non-profit child care provider serving infants through school-age children, with a community-focused mission closely aligned to Belmont Academy's non-profit, family-oriented positioning in the regional market.
• Helen Gordon Child Development Center: Portland-based university-affiliated child care center serving infants through pre-K on the PSU campus. Comparable in mission (developmentally focused child care), curriculum breadth, and Portland metro geographic market to Belmont.

Others

• The Little Gym: National franchise of structured gymnastics and motor-skill development programs for children. Comparable to Belmont's on-site dance and gymnastics studio add-on, and represents the type of enrichment-focused competitor that could encroach on Belmont's differentiated offering.
