A place where educators
flourish too.
At Little Oak, we are committed to working with families to support the image of the child as a capable individual, full of potential and we bring that same belief to our team.
We believe that each child is unique and that children differ in their strengths, capabilities, and interests. We are dedicated to providing an enriched environment that inspires and nurtures children’s natural love of learning as a life-long process. Our educators are at the heart of that mission.
We show respect for the child by recognizing each child’s unique strength, capability, and developmental needs and we extend that same respect to everyone on our team. Little Oak is a community built on trust, warmth, and a deep love of early childhood.
Shape the most formative years of a child's life in a beautifully prepared environment.
Work alongside AMI-trained educators and deepen your Montessori practice.
A close-knit, educator-founded community that values and supports its team.
European-inspired, thoughtfully prepared classrooms designed for calm and intention.
Our vision & values
The principles that
guide everything we do.
— I —
We show respect for the child by recognizing each child's unique strength, capability, and developmental needs. We create opportunities for children to value the similarities they share and appreciate the differences among individuals. We guide children to engage in meaningful learning experiences by following their interests and being mindful of others and their environment.
— II —
Early childhood is the most significant stage for children to learn vital information about their world. We strive to deliver a quality program that implements the Montessori Method to provide a safe, nurturing and engaging environment that promotes the optimum growth of children's physical, cognitive, social and emotional development.
— III —
We seek opportune moments to empower children to make choices and problem solve, so children have the opportunities to take risks, practice, make mistakes, develop coordination skills, express feelings, become resilient, foster independence and build self-confidence.
— IV —
We integrate wellness throughout our program by promoting health and nutrition, etiquette, physical fitness, positive friendships, social competence, self-regulation, empathy, critical thinking, and parent communication. How well children will develop depends on their physical, social and emotional well-being in their early years.
