Orchard Preschool’s extensive curriculum is inspired by the Multiple Intelligence theory, which was founded by Howard Gardner, Ph.D., Professor of Education at Harvard University.

Orchard School operates an Open Door Policy for all parents. The purpose of our Open Door Policy is to encourage open communication, feedback, and participation. Our Open Door Policy means that parents are welcome to come and sit in a teacher’s classroom with their child. This way, they can experience first-hand what class feels and looks like from the perspective of the students. Parents are always invited to attend our celebrations, field trips, community events, lectures, and assemblies.

Orchard's all-inclusive philosophy allows children to learn, grow, enhance their skill levels, develop healthy self-esteem and form close relationships with their teachers and classmates daily.

This enhances children’s vocabulary, comprehension skills; in turn, this expands the child’s knowledge base and confidence.

We strive to keep parents connected with what matters most to them: their child’s well being and progress. Through our school app, we stay in communication with families throughout the entire day. We issue reminders and alert parents about events, updates, and emergency notices by sending texts, email newsletters and push notifications directly to their phones.
