Welcome to Oro Valley Preschool

At Leman Academy Oro Valley Preschool, scholars learn in small class sizes with caring teachers and instructional assistants in every classroom, creating a supportive environment for early learning.

Our curriculum-based preschool program blends rich language and stories, music and art, outdoor discovery, and early math and science to create a joyful foundation for kindergarten.

“We are limited to three educational instruments — the atmosphere of environment, the discipline of habit, and the presentation of living ideas.”
– Charlotte Mason

Preschool vs Daycare: What’s the Difference?

Both preschool and daycare provide a safe place for young children. They offer up supervision and safety, social interaction and caring adults. The difference is in how the day is structured and what the environment is designed to support.

Preschool adds:

  • A structured daily routine
  • Teacher-guided activities
  • Early learning is built into play
  • Preparation for kindergarten

At Leman Academy Preschool, children benefit from both a safe, nurturing environment and a structured approach that helps them grow, learn, and build confidence.

Our Approach:

Play-Based, Classical Early Learning

When learning feels like play, children master new skills naturally. Through games, stories and creative projects, learning becomes joyful while nurturing the incredible growth that happens during the preschool years.

Our classical early-learning approach introduces scholars to truth, goodness and beauty through rich language and stories, music and movement, nature exploration and early math and science while helping them care for themselves, others and their classroom.

  • Language & Literacy: songs, rhymes, read-alouds, vocabulary, and print awareness
  • Math Foundations: counting, patterns, shapes, measuring, and comparing
  • Science & Nature: observing, questioning, experimenting, and outdoor exploration
  • Fine & Gross Motor: writing readiness, art, building, movement, and play
  • Habits of Character: focus, kindness, perseverance, and responsibility

Our goal is simple: to help your child grow with confidence, curiosity, and character—ready to thrive in kindergarten and beyond
