We set the foundation for children to become responsible citizens and environmental stewards.
1. To provide developmentally appropriate, play-based early childhood education that promotes respect for people and nature.
2. To use outdoor learning to foster curiosity, compassion, empathy, cultural awareness, creative problem-solving, and environmental responsibility in young children.
3. To build community by involving parents and teachers in all aspects of program operations.
Our programs for preschoolers and homeschoolers are governed by parent-teacher committees. All co-op members contribute in some way to program operations. The goal is to build community, form a true collaboration between teachers and parents, empower parents as co-educators, provide teachers with the autonomy to run their own programs and keep tuition affordable. Our long-term goal is to provide the nonprofit infrastructure for parents and teachers to start new programs under the Oak Leaf umbrella.
