Educators foster critical thinking skills through meaningful conversations, hands-on learning activities, books, and more. The early preschool children also work on life skills like potty training, self-feeding, and independent dressing.
Red Oak
The Red Oak classroom cares for children from 3 years to 5 years. This classroom is designed to promote independence and confidence in an intentional, creative learning environment. Preschoolers are encouraged and supported to be the architects of their learning through intentional learning materials that foster math, science, literacy, social studies, and art. The role of educators is to introduce, guide, and provide opportunities to expand and deepen explorations. At this age, we empower preschool children to think critically, discover solutions to problems, lead compassionately, research the answers to their questions, have positive interactions, and communicate with their peers and adults.
Big Oak
The Big Oak classroom cares for children from 6 years old to 12 years old. Our School Age program provides children with opportunities for critical thinking, creativity, and compassionate leadership. The educators will give individualized homework support, engaging activities, and opportunities for community involvement. We understand the children in this program have been in secondary school all day, so allowing time for engaging in fun, active play is important.

Our Approach
New Oak Academy is a literacy-nature-inspired school that focuses on the whole child. Our unique approach to learning involves the classroom environment, the educator, and the family partnering together. Knowing that children are inherently curious, we provide a safe, rich learning environment with curricula that are developmentally appropriate to the specific ages in each classroom. The curriculum is designed to individualize the learning experience to ensure each child develops at their pace. Our program is designed to enhance children’s development in creativity, self-expression, problem-solving, responsibility, independence, communication, and decision-making.
The educator’s main focus is to provide an environment that is filled with unlimited possibilities that encourage children to make discoveries, have meaningful conversations, interact in meaningful ways with other people, and expand their knowledge of the world that surrounds them.
