Because every child learns differently, we take the time to thoroughly assess where your child is. We listen to you, the parent. We also work diligently to identify your child’s weakness, so we can improve on those areas, and we identify their strengths, so we can build on them too. This is not a worksheet program. This is not solely a computer-based approach to learning. This is a customized, one on one, individual assessment and learning plan.

The center creates an environment in which children can grow cognitively, physically, emotionally and socially at their own rate.

At West Oaks, teachers and staff are specialists in early childhood development. The West Oaks team is passionate about working with young children, is responsive to their needs, and encourages them as they become increasingly more self-sufficient and independent. West Oaks believes in balancing its curriculum with enrichment activities which are aimed at opening a child’s artistic and creative awareness and talents.
The West Oaks curriculum recognizes that children thrive in environments where they’re provided multiple avenues to learn, grow and progress. Students practice decision making by selecting activities from a variety of learning centers. They express themselves creatively through art, music, dramatic play and use of unstructured material. Children participate in physical activities to develop fine and gross motor skills, and engage in language arts, math, reading and science.
The developmentally appropriate learning methods at West Oaks, combined with what parents teach their children, form the foundation from which they become lifelong learners. That journey is filled with questioning, instead of just answering. Schedule a tour today!
