OCA Program Philosophy
Orchard Children’s Academy is a ministry of Temple Baptist Church.  OCA is organized and developed to provide a loving, supportive, safe, and educational environment for families seeking quality childcare and pre-school for their children.  It is our goal to offer a program that meets the intellectual, moral, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of each child.  It is also our desire for each child and family to know that they are loved by God!
Through five developmental years, every OCA child is prepared with the early childhood life skills needed to be successfully KINDERGARTEN BOUND.
 
Mission Statement
It is the mission of OCA to provide a loving, secure, Christ-centered learning environment that meets the
developmental, emotional, and spiritual needs of each child.

Nurturing the Whole Child
It is our goal to offer a comprehensive program that addresses the essential pillars of early development

Intellectual & Physical
We provide a stimulating curriculum that sparks curiosity and encourages active, healthy movement.

Social & Emotional
Our staff fosters a supportive community where children learn to express themselves, build friendships, and develop confidence.

Moral & Spiritual
At the core of our program is the desire for every child and family to know they are deeply loved by God.
We integrate character-building and spiritual growth into daily life.

Our "Kindergarten Bound" Commitment
We believe the first five years are the most critical for a child's development. Every aspect of our program is intentionally designed to equip children with the early childhood life skills needed to be successfully KINDERGARTEN BOUND. From social readiness to academic foundations, we ensure our students graduate from OCA with the tools and confidence they need to flourish in the years to come.
