Play-Based & Montessori Learning at Orange Crest Preschool
Our Curriculum
At Orange Crest Preschool in Phnom Penh, we combine the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) with an authentic Montessori preschool approach to give children the very best start in life. Our philosophy is simple: children learn best when they are happy, curious, and supported by caring teachers who understand their individual needs.
A Globally Recognized Play-Based Approach
As a full member of the IEYC, our school is proud to bring international standards of early childhood education in Phnom Penh to families who want the highest quality for their children. Through play, children explore the world, practice problem-solving, and develop the creativity they need to succeed in school and beyond.
Our classrooms are designed for active, joyful learning — from imaginative role play and hands-on science experiments to outdoor exploration that encourages discovery. Parents searching for the best preschool in Phnom Penh choose Orange Crest because we provide both fun and structure in a nurturing environment.
Authentic Montessori Education
For older children in Kindergarten in Phnom Penh, we offer a full Montessori program led by a Montessori Council Member teacher. This ensures our students receive authentic Montessori guidance, with activities carefully designed to build independence, concentration, and confidence.
Through Montessori lessons, children develop essential life skills such as responsibility, self-discipline, and collaboration. At the same time, we strengthen their academic foundation by deepening their early numeracy, language, and literacy skills. This balance of life preparation and academics gives children the tools they need for success in international kindergarten programs in Cambodia and beyond.
Why Parents Trust Us
What makes Orange Crest different is our commitment to personalized attention. With a low student-to-teacher ratio, every child is seen, heard, and supported. This personal care allows us to guide children’s learning journey at their own pace, while also building close connections with families.
We believe in nurturing not only the mind but also the heart. Our emphasis on character building — teaching values like kindness, respect, and integrity — ensures children grow into compassionate individuals who are ready to contribute positively to society.
Preparing Children for the Future
Choosing a preschool is one of the most important decisions parents make. At Orange Crest, we provide a safe and secure preschool environment in Phnom Penh, so you can have peace of mind knowing your child is cared for by experienced, dedicated teachers.
By blending IEYC play-based learning with authentic Montessori education, Orange Crest Preschool offers a unique and premium experience for children aged 15 months to 6 years old. We don’t just prepare children for school — we prepare them for life.
