5 stars doesn't even begin to capture how special Oakridge has been for our family…read more
We started our son at Oakridge when he was just 5 months old, and as an educator myself, choosing a daycare was incredibly difficult. I toured over 20 schools before making a decision because I wanted to feel completely confident and comfortable with where we would leave our baby. The moment I walked into Oakridge, I fell in love! And somehow with every day that has passed, I have only loved it more.
Our experience in the infant room with Ms. Esperanza and Ms. Virginia was truly incredible. They helped me navigate becoming a first-time mom with so much patience, kindness, and reassurance. They loved our son so genuinely and were incredibly attentive to his every need. They partnered with me through his first 18 months -- from introducing solids to every new milestone, transition, and stage along the way. I will forever be grateful for the care they gave him and the confidence they gave me as a mom.
When he transitioned to the toddler room with Ms. Genesis and Ms. Jennifer, they somehow made an already wonderful experience even better. They have fostered such a genuine love of learning in our son. He has learned his ABCs, numbers to 20, countless songs, and has brought home the sweetest projects and keepsakes. Most importantly, they have made him excited to go to school every single day. Watching his personality, confidence, curiosity, and love of learning grow has been one of the greatest gifts.
I also have to give a huge shoutout to Sonja and Michelle, the beauties behind Oakridge. They are so responsive, present, and genuinely involved in the school and the children. They make every day feel fun and special, and their school events are some of the sweetest and most creative things we have experienced. From the little details to the big celebrations, it is so evident that this is not simply a business to them. This is their passion! The love and pride they have for Oakridge shines through in everything they do, and it creates such a warm and welcoming community for both the children and their families.
Oakridge gave me something I never took for granted which was the ability to leave my son each day feeling completely comfortable, knowing he was safe, loved, learning, and genuinely cared for. As an educator, I am incredibly particular about the environments I trust, and Oakridge exceeded every expectation I had.
I owe so much to these incredible women who pour so much love, patience, energy, and care into our children every single day. They have been such an important part of our son's early years and such a special part of our family's life.
We are moving out of state, otherwise we would stay at Oakridge forever. I'm not sure we'll find something as special as Oakridge!
If you are looking for a daycare or preschool, I truly cannot recommend Oakridge enough. It is a very special place, filled with very special people, and we will be forever grateful that our son got to grow and learn there.
