Parent/Teacher Conferences

Twice a year, we invite parents to participate in Parent/Teacher Conferences, where they can witness firsthand the incredible progress their child has made. Our sign-up sheets ensure that every parent has the opportunity to engage, and we welcome conferences with teachers and directors anytime throughout the year. We believe in the power of open communication and partnership.

Engagement Throughout the Year

We encourage parents to actively participate in these dynamic traditions and events. Notices and sign-up sheets are posted in advance to ensure everyone can join in the excitement. Birthday parties are welcomed, with parents providing supplies and no gifts, in a spirit of inclusivity. Due to allergies, we kindly request that peanut products are not brought into the preschool.

Hours of Operation & Holidays

We value family time and holidays, and Children’s Orchard Academy will be closed on specific holidays to allow families to cherish these special moments. Our facility’s holiday schedule is posted in advance, with updates provided when holidays fall in the current year. Some holidays may result in early closures, and additional closings for staff training may occur.

We strive to provide consistent daily care for your students, and in cases of weather-related closures or delays, we provide advance notice through our Facebook page and local news channels. We aim to align with local school district closures for your convenience.

At Children’s Orchard Academy, we create traditions that are vibrant, engaging, and filled with opportunities for learning, laughter, and lasting memories. Join us on this exciting journey where innovation and energy come together in the spirit of family and community.
