Preschool

My daughter did not go to preschool. We moved to Oak Ridge the middle of her Kintergarten year. I had planned to teach my sons the same way at home but my middle son had to have speech and all kids of test run and so we decided to try and get him into the program so he could learn to speak better (after having adnoids, tonsils out and tubes put in). This school is wonderful! His progress in such a short time is amazing! When he started he did not know how to count, his colors, numbers....and with in a couple weeks it is like his World opened up between the surgery and the preschool! I will forever be greatful to them for all they do for the kids of Oak Ridge! I am hoping to maybe get my youngest in to the program next year.

I didn't ever plan on sending my son to preschool. I wanted to keep him with me as long as possible. Some concerns about autism popped up and with some deliberation, I decided to allow him to go to preschool. I miss him while he's away at school, but if I had known how much he would thrive there I would have let him go a long time ago. I'm so glad I made the decision since he will start kindergarten in the fall. I think the preschool experience will have him prepared.

My granddaughter attended The Preschool and she was so much more Kindergarten ready that a lot of children her age. Thank you Oak Ridge Preschool!

This is one of the best preschool programs I have ever seen. Curriculum is grounded in proven developmental techniques. The administration and teaching staff are obviously child centered. The school is warm and welcoming to every family. My child really blossomed here and I appreciate the diversity among the students and families. I only wish the elementary schools would follow the lead of this school in making learning such a delight.

What a wonderful school, I feel so much better about sending my child to Kindergarden after attending Oak Ridge PreSchool. However it is an act of congress to get your child in!
