We absolutely love this school! The teachers and staff are so incredibly loving, kind and invested in each and every kid. The school has been instrumental in shaping our son for the next stage in his academic journey. It’s clear that the teachers and Ms. Lucy spend a ton of time creating the curriculum and mapping out each school year. From dance classes, bible study, friendship fixers, indoor play, art class and more - each day is interesting for my son. We cannot say enough good things about this school and pray as he moves to elementary school, that the teachers and staff are as invested as Orange Tree
Toured a few weeks ago and didn’t appreciate the tour that I received. The lady who hosted the tour wasn’t very friendly and I felt judgmental. Playground is tattered and had very worn down toys and overall wasn’t well kept considering the price of tuition. I discussed my son’s food allergies with her and she wasn’t well informed on the issue or need for a nut-free school/first aid trained staff (which I feel is most common these days). If your child has any food allergies I highly recommend you choose another school. The grounds outside of the school are well kept. I didn’t particularly like that the playground isn’t directly connected to the school and close to a major street. While my tour was during naptime as I was on my lunch break, she turned off the music that was playing to soothe the other children to sleep to show me a video about the school and I feel like the children’s nap should’ve been a priority ( not the silly video), but that’s me.
We are beyond grateful for the exceptional care and education our child has received at Orange Tree. From the moment we enrolled our child in the kindergarten and day care program, we knew we made the right choice. The staff's dedication to teaching and nurturing our child according to our Christian values has been extraordinary. Leslie, in particular, has been an angel for us. Her kindness, patience, and commitment to instilling Christian morals in the children are truly remarkable. Our child has learned so much from her loving and thoughtful approach to education. Nichole, Mrs. Tashima, Ms Duarte have also played a pivotal role in our child's development. Their attention to detail and genuine concern for each student's well-being have created a safe and nurturing environment. They ensure that every child feels valued and loved, which has been incredibly reassuring for us as parents. The entire team deserves recognition for their unwavering commitment to teaching a Christian-centered education. The lessons in kindness, respect, and faith that our child has learned here are invaluable. We have witnessed significant growth in our child's behavior and understanding of Christian values, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the teachers and staff. Choosing Orange Tree Christian School has been one of the best decisions we have made for our child's early education. The loving and supportive environment, combined with the strong Christian foundation, has provided our child with a solid start in life. We highly recommend this wonderful school to any parents seeking a nurturing and value-based educational experience for their children. Thank you, Orange Tree, for all that you do. We are truly blessed to be a part of this incredible community.
This is the first time putting my child in preschool and Mrs. Ortiz, teacher/director at the Lake Forest explained to me in detail what their curriculum consists of. She was very kind and seemed to genuinely enjoy her job. The price is very reasonable compared to any of the other schools in the area ($437.00 plus the $150.00 registration fee for M-F from 8:30-11:45 (Lunch: 11:45-12:30). The classrooms are very clean and uncluttered. The owner, teachers and directors are caring and professional. The student/teacher ratio is low 6:1. They also incorporate teaching the children good manners into their daily routines which I really appreciate. Every day, my son cries because he doesn't want to leave. He comes home wanting to read, write and can’t wait to go to school the next day.
My daughter started going to Orange Tree Christian preschool since she almost three. Teachers in the school are loving, caring and very patient with children.
