About Us - Oak Tree Montessori

Our Story

Founded in 2010, Oak Tree Montessori has been a cornerstone of quality early childhood education in our community.

What began as a small parent-led initiative has blossomed into a thriving Montessori school serving over 100 children from ages 18 months to 6 years. Our name reflects our philosophy: like the mighty oak tree, we provide strong roots for children to grow confidently while reaching for their highest potential.

We are proud to be an authentic Montessori school, adhering to the principles and practices developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. Our teachers are AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) or AMS (American Montessori Society) certified, ensuring the highest quality Montessori education.

Our beautiful campus features spacious, light-filled classrooms, a garden where children learn about nature and sustainability, and outdoor play areas designed to encourage exploration and physical development.

Our Vision
