Ages 3+ to 6 | The Oak Rooms
The Oak Room Program is a mixed-age classroom where children are exposed to multifaceted experiences in a prepared environment. Children of different abilities and backgrounds interact and learn from each other in a non-competitive environment. They are given freedom of choice in a controlled environment. This enables them to master a skill while satisfying their natural curiosity. What giveschildren self-confidence is mastering actual skills and learning useful information. Each child’s curriculum is individualized. It allows them to learn at their own pace, building layer upon layer. Children are so proud after mastering a skill; it ignites a love of learning and an inner drive. The areas of learning in the classroom are Language, Math, Practical Life (life skills), Sensorial (learning through our senses), Culture (Botany, Zoology, and Geography), and Peace. Children will also enjoy music, art enrichment, Spanish, yoga, and gross-motor activities.
Montessori curriculum is designed to develop a sense of order, moving from concrete to the abstract, unconscious to conscious, left to right - all in preparation for success in reading, math, and life in today’s world.

“We absolutely love this school and highly recommend the quality education that they provide. My favorites - holiday show, where the kids sing holiday songs, grace & courtesy soirée where the kids have a sit down meal served by parents where they get to practice their table manners, science Mondays and not to mention their awesome summer camp - which my kid still raves about!!”
