The Orinda Preschool (TOPS) is a parent participation school and transitional kindergarten. First established in 1938, TOPS is the oldest continuing organization in Orinda. TOPS is also one of the first early childhood programs to earn the rigorous accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) – the nation’s leading organization of early childhood professionals.

All About TOPS:

The Orinda Preschool - TOPS is licensed by the State of California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing, and has won accreditation and re-accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). We maintain excellent teacher/student ratios, and have a highly qualified staff, committed to provide an enriched and stimulating program for young children.

TOPS is a play-based program. This means your children spend their time interacting with materials and others in self directed play. As a staff, we focus on the development of the whole child. We plan our curriculum to meet the transitional levels and interests of the children. All areas of your child's development (social-emotional, physical and cognitive) will be challenged daily when interacting with other children and the materials provided. As participating parents, you will notice that the classrooms are busy with children playing, talking, singing, moving and exploring. The children are actively involved in their learning.
