Welcome to Our 40th Street Campus Hub
While our other Oak Tree locations focus on our early childhood programs, our 40th Street (San Bernardino) campus is specially equipped to handle the unique energy and logistics of active, growing school-age children:
-
School Transportation: We provide safe and reliable transportation to and from local elementary and middle schools, including Bob Holcom, Hillside, Parkside, Newmark, Kendall, Marshall, Arrowhead, North Park, Shandin Hills, and Golden Valley.
-
Built for Working Caregivers: Open before school from 6:30 AM and after school until 6:00 PM, with a half-day Kindergarten program available.
-
The "Helping Hands" Community Closet: 40th Street is home to our student-run community closet, offering free clothing, canned food, and household items to families in need.
Our Three Pillars of School-age Care
We look at school-age development through three simple lenses to ensure your child stays academically on track, socially confident, and completely supported.

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 school schedule logistics, academic struggles and strengths and any caregiving challenges you may be navigating.
Together, we determine a seamless routine 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.
