Orange Tree Christian Preschool is a private, non-denominational preschool where all faiths are welcome and is licensed by the state of California. The program offers both full-time and part-time options and has a very low student-to-teacher ratio that allows for more individual guidance. Its curriculum includes enrichment programs and a teaching system with developmental goals focused on mind, body, spirit, and community. The approach involves letting children learn at their own rate in an atmosphere described as encouraging and conducive to individual development. The program uses operant conditioning with positive affirmation for desired behavior and practice. The daily schedule includes a foundational understanding of God’s Word at an age appropriate level and teaching about the fruits of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The stated goal is to nurture young children in a loving environment and provide a positive introduction to formal education, with an emphasis on each child as a unique gift of God and on age appropriate, hands-on activities. The preschool describes itself as serving the community by providing a quality education in a safe and loving environment. The leadership of the program is identified as Leslie Lucy.
