  • We love the Oaks! Our daughter has been attending this school for almost a year - they have created a very warm and positive environment for her and our family! She is thriving at this school! Teacher Trevor and Miss Autumn are her favorite and they help foster an environment of learning! I cannot recommend this school enough!

  • We send our 7-month-old to the Oaks and we couldn't be happier! She absolutely loves it. Her three teachers — Val, Lauren, and Annie — are truly amazing. She lights up with excitement every morning when she sees them, which says everything. The environment is nurturing and welcoming, and it genuinely feels like a second home for our family. We're so grateful for the love and care they give our little one every day.

  • I was nervous about having my 3-month-old start daycare, but we've had the best experience at The Oaks! Val in the Blossoms room is wonderful, and my baby smiles when he sees her every morning. The teachers are great about sending updates throughout the day, which I love. I would definitely recommend daycare here.

  • We have had a wonderful experience at the Oaks. Our girls came from an in-home childcare setting a few months ago and the teachers made them feel so welcome from day one. Everyone is kind and greets us with a smile each day. The lead toddler room teacher, Afton, is warm, friendly and attentive to our littlest’s needs and has great communication with us as parents so we feel informed throughout the day. Ashley is eager to share updates with us in the afternoons and you can tell she loves the children. Trevor and Autumn in the Pioneers classroom have made my sensitive preschooler comfortable and I’ve already been able to watch her social and intellectual skills grow since she joined their classroom last month. Change can be hard on kids but it was absolutely worth the shift to get my girls the support and expertise of the Oaks team. The trust and peace of mind for myself and my husband is a direct result and it’s been a life changer.

  • The Oaks has been absolutely wonderful for our daughter—she’s been attending since they first opened! Samantha Ellis has been one of the best teachers we’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. We truly love the entire staff! Our daughter looks forward to going each day! Highly recommend!

  • Our son has been going to The Oaks for almost a year. All teachers and staff have been great from the start. He is now in the toddler room with lead teacher Afton! She is so caring, patient, and truly gets to know each child as an individual. The recently built building is state of the art with indoor and outdoor play spaces, and the on-site, nutritious meals and snacks from Chef Tracy makes it so much easier for us as parents. We feel so grateful to have found a place where our child is not only safe but thriving. Highly recommend!
