Early Childhood Curriculum Guide
EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM preschool, pre-kindergarten, kindergarten
The Orchard School’s nationally recognized Early Childhood program includes classrooms for preschool (ages 3-4), pre-kindergarten (ages 4-5), and kindergarten (ages 5-6). All three grades have two highly qualified lead teachers in each class. Early Childhood grade-level teams also include specialist teachers for music, art (in kindergarten), science/outdoor education, Spanish, and physical education. Our programs utilize spaces in and around our 43-acre wooded campus as both outdoor classrooms and unstructured play areas every month of the year. The emphasis of a nature-based approach to Early Childhood supports our curricular and social-emotional goals for our students. Here, you can expect something unique for your child. An Orchard education stands out because of the partnerships that form between students and their teachers. Our preschool, pre-kindergarten, and kindergarten teachers understand that a student’s success depends greatly on their ability to connect with the adults around them. Feeling safe, understood, and challenged provides a foundation for students to be successful and contributing members of their community.
