    Ann

    Most caring and considerate school staff I've met! They are patient and very loving to EVERYONE!! I cannot imagine my son going anywhere else! He is challenged and disciplined and most importantly SAFE at ORCA with the staff. Oak Ridge is a home away from home for my son. He started school with ORCA and LOVES it! We plan on seeing him graduate with his class!

    The amount of words I wish I could write about this establishment would end up in a book. I moved from out of state and was completely nervous to put my daughter in a full daycare with so many other kids.

    I can assure that if your bringing your child to this establishment, you will see how amazing your child excels in the environment they provide.

    Both of our buys go to this school, one started when when he was 8 months! So a total of 5 years! Throughout this time, they have been nothing short of greatness! Highly recommend them for any daycare and or private school needs!

    My son is 2 and started ORCA around May 2021 and it has been a great, healthy and supported experience thus far. My son loves it there. He is always changed and clean. Seeing my son run to the staff, hug and kiss on them shows me that he is treated with love and care.

  • What is the best age to start preschool?

    The ideal age to start preschool is typically around 3 years old, as children begin to develop social and cognitive skills. 


    However, it's essential to note that preschool and childcare serve distinct purposes. While preschool focuses on early education, childcare provides a nurturing environment for children from infancy. 


    Starting childcare at an earlier age can offer benefits like socialization and routine, laying a foundation for a smooth transition to preschool when they're developmentally ready, typically around age 3 or 4.

  • What is the VPK program?

    The Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program (VPK) prepares early learners for success in kindergarten and beyond. VPK helps build a strong foundation for school using educational material corresponding to various stages in a child’s development. 

  • Do I qualify for the VPK program?

    To be eligible for VPK, children must live in Florida and be 4 years old on or before Sept. 1 of the current school year. To begin applying for VPK Click Here.

  • What is Florida School Readiness?

    The Florida School Readiness Program offers financial assistance for early education and care to low-income families.
