Our Leadership

At Orange Children & Parents Together, we believe that every child deserves the
opportunity to succeed and dream of a brighter tomorrow. We believe that strong families
lead to healthy and productive communities, and that with a little guidance and support,
every parent can become their child’s most important teacher and role model.
Your generous support of our mission enables vulnerable young children and their families
to regain a sense of magic, joy and wonder. Working together, we can restore each child’s
hopes and dreams for a bright, promising future!

On behalf of the children and families we serve, we thank you for your support.

Our Mission
Orange Children & Parents Together is committed to
providing family-friendly, community-based programs
that enhance children’s growth, strengthen families and
build healthy communities.

Our Vision
We believe that all children should have the
opportunity to succeed in school and in life. By
providing high-quality school readiness and family
support programs to the most vulnerable children in
our community, we ensure that all children begin
school healthy and ready to learn.

Our hope is that every child has the foundation

Our Agency
Since 1967, Orange Children & Parents Together,
Inc. has grown from a small classroom in a church
basement to an independent nonprofit organization
with six child development centers that serve 500
children and their families annually.
needed to grow, learn, thrive and achieve. We are
dedicated to helping young children reach for the stars
and realize their full potential. Because each child’s
ability to learn and achieve varies, we provide caring,
high-quality learning environments and family support
to effectively develop a child’s unique abilities and
equip them for elementary school success.
Our Programs
Founded in 1967 as one of the first Head Start preschool programs in Orange County, Orange
Children & Parents Together (OCPT) has made a lasting impact on the lives of thousands of
children and their families through our high-quality programs.

School the areas of cognitive development,

Readiness
We begin preparing children for
kindergarten from the first day they
enter one of our preschool classrooms.
Our teaching staff uses Creative
Curriculum which has been designed to
build children’s skills specifically in
language and literacy, social-emotional
development, and physical development.
Throughout the year, our teachers
conduct home visits and meet with
parents to discuss how each child’s skills
are progressing. We fully engage parents
in the process, as their support and
understanding play key roles in their
children’s success.

Health & Nutrition

Health and nutrition are vital components of each child’s
educational success. Children in our programs receive early
intervention health screenings and participate in a daily
health program that includes dental care and nutritious meals
and snacks. We also provide parent education workshops on
health, nutrition, and child wellness care to help build strong
health habits at home.
 Literacy
Programs
At OCPT, we believe that strong
reading skills set the foundation for
all future learning. In our classrooms,
every learning activity encompasses a
component of literacy and language
development. We encourage parents to read
with their children at home. Each child
takes home a Raising a Reader book bag
containing age-appropriate books so that
parents can read with their children every
day for one week. Several times a year,
thanks to Reading is Fundamental, our
children receive free, new books to keep
and enjoy.

Family Support
It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child.
OCPT works closely with numerous community
agencies to provide comprehensive multidisciplinary
programs and services to meet the needs of our
children and families. Our comprehensive child and
family development programs empower families, and
each child leaves healthy and ready to learn upon
entering kindergarten.
Our programs are designed to respect and honor
parents and families as the primary educators of
their children. OCPT improves family well-being by
providing thoughtful guidance and helpful resources
in a safe environment where children and families can
come together to learn, grow and connect.
Cavity-Free Campaign

Late in September 2009, OCPT launched the second annual

Cavity-Free Campaign. Aimed at promoting dental health, the
campaign once again was assisted by our favorite superhero,
Super Tooth. Within six months of the campaign, all 480
children enrolled in our program had visited the dentist,
received follow-up on treatment when necessary, and were
cavity-free!
Ready, Set, Read!

On May 21, 2010, the Orange Chamber of

Commerce, Leadership Orange, sponsored
a wonderful event that highlighted the work
of OCPT.  Along with community supporters
and sponsors, they made it possible for all 480
children to receive free backpacks filled with
school supplies and free t-shirts. We thank
them for their support!

Healthy Beginnings
Already in its third year
of implementation, the
Healthy Beginnings program
focuses on growing up
healthy through physical
activity and nutrition. Our
goal is to prevent obesity in
children, paying special
attention to those children
in our program identified as
overweight. The program
included nutrition workshops
for parents, food experience
classes for children, onsite
exercise programs with
trained volunteers, and the
opportunity to continue the
program with take-home
exercise bags. This year,
the program successfully
utilized Nutrition and
Kinesiology students from
Cal Poly Pomona and
California State University,
Fullerton. Our interns
volunteered a total 989 hours
during the program year!
Thank you all!
