LOWER STUDENT-TEACHER RATIOS means MORE INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION FOR YOUR CHILD

Unique small-group sizes and lower ratios allows our educators to focus on enhancing your child’s learning and self-confidence. Our students are better prepared for success in Kindergarten and beyond!

KIDS FEEL LOVED IN A WARM FAMILY ATMOSPHERE

Though dedicated to academic excellence, we don’t sacrifice even an ounce of care, attention, and socialization necessary to nurture toddlers and preschoolers into their school age years.

YOU CAN RELAX, WE GOT YOUR BACK. WE'RE FLEXIBLE!

Understanding the challenges of parenting, we offer flexible scheduling options that make it convenient for you to support your child’s growth while ensuring a balanced approach to family life, fostering a nurturing environment for both you and your child.

WHERE CHILDREN BECOME TEACHERS & OUTSTANDING ROLE MODELS

Our mixed-aged classroom ensures that your child doesn’t just become part of a community, but a leader who contributes positively to the world. Weekly themed curriculums spark creativity and curiosity.

PRACTICAL CONNECTIONS, BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Encouraging expressions of imagination and creativity through various arts, sensory and practical play is fundamental in our modern classrooms. Implementing music and art into our everyday stimulates the social-emotional being and fuels confidence.

OUTSIDE! OUTSIDE! OUTSIDE!

Nestled on 3 acres of lush land with a playground, wading pool, and ample space for exploration, we transcend the traditional concept of a preschool by providing an immersive and enriching daily experience, where children not only learn but also thrive through activities carefully designed for their growth, engaging with the environment two to three times a day.

“AHEAD OF THE CURVE” KINDERGARTEN PREP​

Our custom curriculum ensures that students achieve significant milestones in reading and writing skills. This progress becomes evident as our children graduate to kindergarten, receiving positive feedback from both teachers and parents who notice their notable advancements, often reading at or above grade level.

ASIAN-OWNED, FAMILY-OWNED, WOMAN-OWNED, AND LGBTQ SAFE

We prioritize full-time enrollment to ensure a strong bond between students and their families. This commitment fosters a sense of community and collaboration, promoting inclusion and celebrating the rich diversity that each student brings to our educational environment.

Finding a school for your young child can be a stressful experience. You're entrusting people you may not know with taking care of your kid during some of their most formative years. Orchard School has been absolutely tremendous.We came to them after a negative experience at a chain daycare for our then-6-month-old. The difference was immediate - rather than crying when dropping her off, she would crawl to her teachers and wouldn't want to come home when we came to pick her up. Her growth since joining the 0-5 y/o class has been astonishing. We've enjoyed watching her become a part of the group - the older kids watch out for and play with the younger ones with a care that reminds us of siblings.The teachers do a great job combining play with educational enrichment activities, and the property has a delightful array of spaces for the kids to enjoy, ranging from a ball pit to a pool to mini-rooms with tiny furniture to a track for biking. The staff is super flexible and understanding; it feels like we have true partners in our child's care and understanding.The most important thing I have to say about Orchard is that its staff sees the kids for who they are. They understand each kid is an individual with their own personality and needs, and they do everything they can to encourage each child to be the best version of themself. Our daughter (now 18 months) is growing into a wonderful little person, and Orchard School has played a huge part.

Our family has had a positive experience at The Orchard School and would recommend it to others looking for a daycare. It's a family-run facility that is the perfect blend of a home-based daycare and a franchise daycare. We preferred the flexibility that their more personalized attention could offer compared to facilities with more children. The outdoor space is great with a huge backyard, baby pool for the summer, and plenty for the kids to do. For rainy days there is a small ball pit and "clubhouse" that the kids enjoy downstairs. We especially like that the class is a group of blended ages. Our daughter started at 8 months and was the only baby at the time so she became everybody's little sister. Learning around the big kids was great for her verbal skills as well as her physical development. Now she is in the middle age-wise and loves having the younger kids around. The staff goes the extra mile to make Orchard a home away from home for the enrolled families. There are trips (i.e. to the zoo and beach), an annual graduation party where all the kids get a scrapbook, and a wonderful holiday party. We're very happy that we chose Orchard and encourage others to do the same.

My daughter started at Orchard School when she was about 9 months old and is almost 2.5 now. We've had a great experience, it's a small family run daycare so they really get to know each child well. I love that kids of all ages are together in the same classroom, my daughter has learned so much from watching and playing with the older kids and now is learning to be patient and kind with the younger kids who have joined the school.
