While every Oak Tree center prioritizes the same high standards of care, each has its own magic spark.
Embracing a deep commitment to diversity, View Park embodies inclusivity across every aspect of the school community, from curriculum to family engagement.
Driven by academic excellence and accessibility, D Street offers initiatives such as free tuition through CCTR. Additionally, we set a high bar for quality by requiring all teachers to achieve their professional permits through the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

Our Three Pillars of Infant Care
To ensure your child has the support they need to reach their full potential, we focus on three core areas that bridge the gap between emotional comfort and early academic discovery.
1. Emotional Safety: The Roots of Stability
To help your baby feel safe to learn and explore, we prioritize physical and emotional needs, giving them confidence and stability.
-
We provide gentle attachment support to help infants navigate separation and build secure attachments with our caregivers.
-
Consistent care routines for naps, diaper changes, and feedings, give stability and safety.
2. Purposeful Discovery: Learning by Doing
Guided by our MAE curriculum, even our youngest students engage in active discovery.
-
We provide active support for gross motor skills, working towards physical milestones such as rolling and sitting up.
-
Fine motor skills are prioritized, with teachers guiding infants through experiences that enable practice through play.

3. Family First: A Foundational Partnership
For a child to flourish, the family must flourish too. That's why we're committed to a true partnership with you during these critical early years.
-
Our classrooms are filled with talking and singing. This constant verbal modeling builds a varied vocabulary and a love for communication.
-
We handle the logistics - like healthy meals and all-day care - so you can focus on the joy of your family.

Our Curriculum
Learning by Doing. Thinking by experiencing.
At Oak Tree, we believe that children don’t learn by sitting still, they learn by getting involved.
Our curriculum is built on the MAE framework (Meaningful Assessmentready Experiences), which transforms everyday activities into powerful educational milestones.
Whether it’s baking a pie to understand measurements or planting a garden to explore life cycles, we provide "something to do" that demands "something to think about." It’s a research-backed world where play is purposeful, and every experience is a step toward kindergarten readiness.
Your Welcome to Oak Tree Learning Center
Your experience begins with a private tour and a one-on-one orientation with our Director to discuss your child’s unique developmental stage and any specific caregiving challenges you may be navigating.
Together, we determine a personalized care plan to help your entire family flourish. While we offer digital check-ins for convenience, we prioritize in-person connection through daily interactions and school-wide Monthly Experiences.
At Oak Tree, you are joining a supportive community dedicated to your child’s success from their very first day.
Your Oak Tree Community
Our One-of-a-kind Monthly Experiences
At Oak Tree, we bring community resources directly to you. Our school-wide Monthly Experiences blend educational themes with real-time visits from local partners - like medical providers, dental offices, Black Infant Health services, and local artists.
These events are designed for busy families, typically occurring during pickup hours so you can engage with neighborhood experts and celebrate your child’s community projects - such as food drives or local donations - without any added strain on your schedule.
