Welcome to Oconee Preschool Academy

OPA provides a safe, nurturing environment that promotes social, emotional, cognitive and physical development of young children.

Cognitive Development

Children use their mind to explore and investigate the world around them. Problem solving skills and reasoning form the basis for early mathematical and scientific thinking.

Physical Development

Large Muscles – crawling, walking, running, and dancing are all activities that take place in the indoor and outdoor environment. Small muscle development occurs using our hands and fingers to feed ourselves, color, paint and sing songs.

Language and Literacy Development

Beginning with sounds, gestures, words and eventually reading and writing, children will learn how to communicate with others.

Emotional and Social Development

Children learn how to express themselves, gain self-control and how to relate to others. They develop special relationships with their peers and caregivers.

Quality Rated

We are proud to announce that both OPA 1 & OPA 2 have obtained their Quality Rating Certification. OPA 1 was awarded a 3 Star rating in January 2020. OPA 2 was awarded a 2 Star rating under TARO (Temporary Alternative Rating Option) in January 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and not being able to have an in-person visit. OPA is committed to providing high quality care not only through the QR process but in our everyday approach to learning and care for children.

Administrative Staff

Professional team that aims to respect your child’s feelings, to give them responsibility, independence and freedom to make choices.
