At the Oaks, we know that children learn so much through movement! Each day, the children in our program get a chance to engage with their environment through a variety of activities.

Parents participate each day by running different stations, such as the 🎨 art porch or 🔎 new experiences. Children are able to move freely between stations and engage in the ones that interest them, giving them a role in their own decision-making and allowing them to either do big play or something calmer (or both!) depending on how they feel.

We love seeing the creative ways our children grow through self-led learning and seeing the creativity and community of our parents on their workdays.

Join us for a tour to find out how you can be part of our community here in Santa Barbara! 🍂
