QRIS Star Rating
All of our preschool classrooms have achieved a 4 or 5-star QRIS rating from the Orange County Department of Education. This rating reflects the highest quality for preschool programs.
Early Childhood Education
Our Vision
Our preschool children will enter the TK-12 system ready to meet or exceed grade-level standards. Our preschool children will engage in high-quality learning experiences in a positive and caring environment in which diversity (cultural, linguistic, individual interests, and abilities) is respected. Meaningful parent involvement is actively fostered, as parents play an integral role in their child's educational experience. Preschool children and families will build positive relationships and develop skills that will enable them to transition to kindergarten with confidence and success.
