OUR MISSION
Leading our children to know God and His world by providing a solid foundation for life and learning.
Growing spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically.
Our role is to support and encourage parents in the nurture and training of their children. We believe that children learn best in a loving, caring environment where they may experience the awe and wonder of God’s world through hands-on, developmentally appropriate activities.
As MCP is a ministry of Orangewood Church, we support the Children’s Ministries mission statement of inviting every person (including our preschoolers) into the life-changing story of Jesus.
Maitland Community Preschool is a child care facility operating under an exemption pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida and is not subject to licensure or regulation by the Department of Children and Families.
Programs

VPK Information
Florida’s Voluntary Pre-K (VPK) program provides funding for every 4-year-old child in the state to attend a high-quality Voluntary Prekindergarten Program to prepare them for success when they enter kindergarten the following year. VPK funding is available to all children for the 2026-2027 school year who will be 4 years old on or before September 1, 2026.
