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.
Transportation to and from local elementary schools is provided at 4oth Street, who also have a large, student-run community closet called "helping hands". This provides free, gently used clothing, canned foods and household items for families in need.

Our Three Pillars of Pre-Kindergarten Readiness
We look at TK and Kindergarten development through three simple lenses to ensure your child is happy, socially confident, and achieving at a level that exceeds their peers in public schools.
1. Emotional & Social Excellence: Building Great Skills
Moving into a larger school environment requires more than just academic skills; it takes social and emotional resilience. Our research-based teaching leads to well developed emotional skills.
-
We focus attention on social skills to help children build the tools needed for positive, healthy relationships with parents, peers and teachers.
-
We celebrate "fantastic flops" in our classrooms, teaching children that making a mistake is just a normal, part of finding a solution, giving them the confidence to be brave.
2. Purposeful Discovery: Hands-on Academics
Our curriculum is specifically designed to increase achievement. We replace passive worksheets with hands-on academics that truly help learning, including sight word and math literacy.
-
Our daily lessons include science, math, and language arts. We turn complex subjects into active experiences, so kids learn by doing.
-
Through interactive projects and group problem-solving, our students learn how to ask big questions, test ideas, and find real answers - advanced critical thinking.
3. Family First: Partners in Parenting
The transition to school can feel like a logistical puzzle for working families. Think of us as your foundational partner, handling the daily details so you can focus on the joy of your child's growth.
-
We offer a true full-day, full-year program, open 6:30 AM - 6:00 PM to accommodate your work schedule with zero added stress.
-
From providing fresh, nutritious meals every day to ensuring advanced Kindergarten readiness, we remove the strain from your routine while guaranteeing your child is learning and developing.

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.
