A child’s curiosity is a beautiful thing! We get to see this first hand through our weekly science program where the kids take part in creative, fun, and colorful experiments!

One of the highlights of each school year for me is The Hippo Class International Week! During this time, we explore the traditions, foods, and cultures of our students' families. Passports ready!

Teaching at Orange fills my heart with joy. Arts and crafts are my favorite part of the day, where we get to be creative, messy, and make something special together. Seeing their excitement and pride in their creations is priceless!

Seeing children experience the world with such joy and wonder is what makes teaching at Orange so special. I'm dedicated to supporting their development by nurturing their independence, helping them navigate their emotions and a love for learning.

I love watching the little ones grow and develop into themselves each day, discovering their personalities, gaining confidence, and learning new things.

I love the sense of community here. Our preschool has been a long standing outreach ministry of our church and touched so many lives. I love watching our preschoolers and their families grow. It is truly a blessing.
