About Orchard Valley Learning Center
Our Philosophy
At Orchard Valley Learning Center, we provide high-quality early childhood education programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and private kindergarten students. Our carefully designed learning progression supports every stage of child development — from first milestones to kindergarten readiness.
We nurture each child’s individuality, helping them build confidence, discover their unique strengths, and develop respect for diversity. Through guided social interaction, children learn cooperation, empathy, and positive relationship skills that prepare them for lifelong success.
We also support families by connecting parents with trusted community resources, offering practical solutions to today’s parenting challenges.
Our Mission & Vision
Our mission is to provide a safe, loving, and enriching learning environment where children feel secure, valued, and inspired to grow.
We focus on:
- Developmentally appropriate early learning
- Social-emotional development
- Kindergarten readiness
- Confidence and independence
- Academic foundations though structured independent learning
Our experienced and dedicated early childhood educators guide children through engaging, hands-on activities that promote cognitive development, creativity, and problem-solving skills — building a strong academic foundation for elementary school and beyond.

Classrooms
B.E.E. the Best
Developmentally appropriate play is what inspires young children to be passionate about their learning. At Bradford Early Education, we believe that children are on their own developmental journey and that children should be challenged based on their individual interests, needs and capabilities. We endeavor to prepare our children for their academic careers by using scientific principles and empirically supported methods. As a Bradford Early Education school, we blend a unique, independent curriculum with Learning Beyond Paper, a comprehensive, research-based, Colorado State-aligned curriculum that meets the state’s requirements for the Universal Preschool Program. Our comprehensive B.E.E. Curriculum℠ , along with Learning Beyond Paper, places a strong emphasis on learning through play while utilizing a research-based, 21st-century STEAM-emphasized curriculum. We fundamentally believe that developmentally appropriate play is what inspires young children to be passionate about their learning.
Learning Beyond Paper is a fully digital, research-based early childhood curriculum for infants through Pre-K that delivers 52 weeks of standards-aligned lesson plans and over 4,000 daily activities. It emphasizes hands-on, developmentally appropriate experiences in STEAM, literacy, social-emotional development and problem-solving, while reducing teacher prep time and providing built-in professional learning and support.
