A high quality neighborhood PRESCHOOL with a focus on Islamic identity. As a center, our emphasis is on community. We need to work together to help learning continue. The importance of working together extends between school and home. Teachers, staff and parents must communicate and share ideas so the child’s interests are best met. By pairing teacher and parent, we can help your child acquire the skills, attitudes, and habits to do well in school and in life. There are twelve main areas from which learning emerges. Through these topics, we can build off what children know to explore and comprehend the unknown. - Belief in and consciousness of God (Allah SWT) and his prophets is the foundation for a strong moral character and Islamic identity. We develop this through read-alouds, learning short du’as, and short surahs. - A rich intentional environment is essential in promoting curiosity and imaginative play. Our materials in the classroom are age appropriate and chosen intentionally to encourage open-ended play. - A safe and nurturing environment is foundation to learning. Our teachers and staff guide the children through conflicts and interactions with their classmates, teaching them to identify big emotions and strategies to deal with them. - The love for learning starts with introduction to new concepts and encouragement of curiosity. We build language and literacy skills through sounds and words, books and stories, and writing. - We discover mathematical relationships through number and size, patterns, objects, and shapes. - Learning through play experiences and by imitating and pretending builds imagination, promotes social skills and helps children gain a better understanding of daily experiences. - Creating with art by using different materials and exploring what they can do with them is fascinating to children. They are less interested in making a product. - Tasting and preparing food promotes thinking, and social and fine motor skills. - Exploring sand and water is funs because it's a natural part of everyday life. It becomes a special activity when toys are added to it to explore. Sand play leads to discoveries, develops fine motor skills and promotes pretending as children create things like sand castles. - Readiness skills are an important pre-requisite to academic learning. Individual and small group activities, and pretend play are used to develop these skills. - Learn to think and make choices - Listen and follow directions through activities. - Learning to problem solving skills - Concentration skills - Building fine motor skills - Building gross motor skills

We are licensed for infants to 13 years. We are very busy year-round offering: Preschool/childcare, school-aged before and after school care with homework help groups, social skills music, and art. Our children are advanced in their skills because of the individualized attention that we provide at our school. We like to think of our services as being provided in a family environment but yet providing the highest standards of education. Our 3-acre campus allows us the freedom to run, ride bikes, play games, and sports, and enjoy nature. Our year-round program is very academic but fun. Our summer program is structured in the sense that we have a morning age-appropriate small motor skill activity, in the early afternoon we will use the sprinkler, in the afternoon a large motor skill activity, and they are again in water play. Our program is unstructured in the sense that we are flexible enough to accommodate the various personalities of our children and able to accommodate their needs at any given moment. We work magic by incorporating educational aspects into all activities so the kids just think they are having fun. Beware that the children who visit and enroll never want to go home. If you are looking for an exceptional summer program, school, daycare, academy than look no further because the Orchard School is the best school around. At the Orchard School the word daycare means that parents are able to utilize our services to meet children's and their needs at any time. Meals are provided at an additional charge for those parents who are interested. We are able to meet family needs full time, part time, and drop in. Our experience is that every moment at the Orchard School has educational value whether it is in math, sciences, arts, basic skills, reading, writing, cognitive development, small and large motor skills, emotional health, physical health, problem-solving, and social skills since our teachers are motivated, educated, and experienced in the art of LIFE, learning, and self-actualization. Parents have our schedule and therefore know what we do all day long. Our open door policy allows parents the freedom to observe and participate as well. The only problem we have is that there is not enough time in the day.
