Our teachers are trained in gentle care techniques designed to soothe crying and facilitate healthy attachment. By meeting an infant's emotional needs first, we provide the "roots" of stability they need to feel safe in their new environment.

We focus on both gross and fine motor development. This includes active support for rolling, sitting up, and moving, as well as the fine motor coordination required for holding bottles and using utensils.

At Oak Tree, we use music, dance, and constant conversation to immerse infants in language. This "Learning by Doing" approach builds a rich vocabulary and strengthens the cognitive "branches" needed for future academic succe

For an infant, "doing" is "learning." Instead of passive time in a swing or bouncer, our Crickets are engaged in active sensory play. Whether it’s feeling the texture of a safe discovery bin or practicing the fine motor skills needed to hold a bottle, every activity is an intentional experience designed to spark curiosity.

As part of our Family First promise, we act as a foundational partner for our parents. We welcome and support breastfeeding mothers by providing a private, comfortable space for nursing and following specific storage and feeding guidelines for expressed milk to ensure your baby’s routine remains as close to home as possible.

Once your child is ready for solids, we provide nutritious, healthy meals prepared on-site. We focus on high-quality ingredients that fuel healthy growing bodies, removing the logistical stress for parents while ensuring your child has the energy they need to explore their world.

Through our MAE (Meaningful Assessment-ready Experiences) framework, we don’t just observe; we assess. We use the DRDP (Desired Results Developmental Profile) to track your child’s progress in real-time. Parents receive regular updates and clear communication so you can celebrate every new "branch" of development as it grows.

A readiness camp like Oak Tree’s bridges the gap by maintaining academic routines. We focus on foundational phonics, number sense, and social-emotional skills, ensuring children are "up to speed" and confident when school begins in September.

Yes. Oak Tree Learning Center offers flexible summer enrollment. You can select specific dates and weeks (like "Cafe Week" or "Pet Shop Week") to fit your family's vacation schedule.

Our program is specifically designed for rising TK, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade students (children finishing the grade prior to these classes).

Yes. At both our 40th st and View Park locations, we provide nutritious meals and snacks to keep our explorers energized. We are a nut-aware facility and can accommodate most common dietary restrictions; please discuss your child's specific needs with the Campus Director during registration.

To ensure your child is ready for a day of discovery, please pack: A refillable water bottle. A change of clothes (exploration can get messy!). Closed-toe shoes (essential for safety during outdoor play). Weather-appropriate outerwear or hats for the garden and market themes. High factor sunscreen.

Yes. While our four themes (Cafe, Pet Shop, etc.) are school-wide, we group children by their upcoming grade level. This allows our teachers to differentiate the "Bridge to Success" curriculum, ensuring a rising 1st grader is challenged with more complex reading tasks while a rising TK student focuses on foundational social skills.

This ensures our students meet Kindergarten readiness standards with confidence and strong social-emotional skills.

We provide a robust after-school program for grades K–5. This includes safe transportation from local elementary schools, dedicated homework help, and nutritious snacks. We also offer full-day care during summer camp and school breaks to support year-round family needs.
