Oak Grove Montessori

The first day wearing glasses can feel like a very big day when you’re very little. 👓

One small act of kindness. One little boy grinning from ear to ear. One reminder that belonging is built in moments exactly like this.

The sweetest part of early childhood is watching children learn, over and over again, that they are loved exactly as they are.

A bucket of water, a washboard, tiny clothespins, and children completely invested in their work. 🫧

Practical life activities like cloth washing help children develop independence, order, focus, and a sense of responsibility for their environment.

And yes, the tiny clothesline may have stolen our hearts a little.

There is something deeply joyful about watching children move with complete confidence in their own bodies. ☀️
This chalk hopscotch path invited children to jump, balance, count, wait for a turn, encourage friends, and try again.
Big movement. Bright sunshine. Childhood exactly as it should be.

Real life, right at their level. 🐦
Watching birds up close invites curiosity, attention, and connection to the natural world.

King of the hill… or at least this rock 😌

Just casually working with thousands over here… no big deal 😌

Breaking news: the wiggles have officially paused. 🐛
Another classroom's caterpillars have entered the chrysalis stage… and the watching continues. 👀

“Is it moving?!” 👀🐛
Nothing beats the excitement of checking on our classroom caterpillars—every wiggle feels like a major event.

Florist status: confirmed 💐
And yes… he knows it looks amazing.
