Preschool

​"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning." Mr. Rogers
Preschool Overview​


All of our programs are comprised of multi-age groups and are taught by a fully licensed, highly qualified teacher. We have a child centered, developmentally appropriate approach to education. Play is the cornerstone of education at The Orchard. Families have the option to choose between part time preschool  or full time preschool.  In order to enroll, your child needs to be between the ages of 3-5. We are able to accept your child if they are 2 years old at the beginning of the school year and are close to turning 3 (August-October birthday). We offer a 2 day program recommended for younger students and 3 day program recommended for older students.  Tuition rates are listed below and include meals, snacks, and materials, as well as regular outings and field trips. We can recommend the ideal program for your family if you need help selecting. Don't hesitate to reach out!

Part Time Preschool

 

Our part time preschool runs from 9 AM-11:30 AM. It is during these hours that we will have our more structured routine that you would expect to see in a traditional school. The program is still play based and students will have multiple opportunities to socialize with peers while learning. Tuition rates for part time preschool are paid monthly-due on the first of the month. Tuition includes all materials for the month, as well as a morning snack.

Tuition is as follows:

  • 2 days/week: $80/month

  • 3 days/week: $100/month

Full Time Preschool

​
Full time preschool is perfect for older children who are preparing to go into kindergarten or for families that are in need of extended care. We recognize that not everyone has the option to pick their child up from school at 11:30, so we're here to accommodate those schedules as well. Full time students are here for the more structured learning time from 9 AM-11:30 AM, but will also have more learning opportunities throughout the day that will build off of what we learned that morning. Full time hours run from 7:00 AM-5:00PM and can be adjusted to meet your family's needs. Full time tuition includes all materials for the month, 2 snacks each day, breakfast, and lunch. The rate for full time preschool starts at $25/day and is due the Friday before services are rendered.
