Children at Oak Lane are nurtured in a manner consistent
with the Quaker testimonies of simplicity, peace, integrity, community,
equality, and stewardship. We incorporate these testimonies in
everything we do. Our focus is on the whole child and we strive
to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which children can
learn through structured play. We establish developmentally appropriate
goals for every age group, which we achieve through hands-on activities
with various materials, small group interactions and outdoor play. Low student to teacher ratios allow the teacher to adjust daily activities
to the class as well as to the individual child. Children are exposed to numbers, letters and other concepts through
play and experimentation. One of our goals is to unleash their
curiosity for the world around them and nurture their imagination.
Parent involvement is an integral part of Oak Lane’s success
and continuous improvement. Parents are always welcome in the classrooms
and often help out with other tasks such as a spring cleaning and
organizing fundraising events. Oak Lane’s vision is to go
beyond providing a service and create a community that includes
the entire family. Throughout the year we host dinners in which
the entire family is invited. On special days such as Pancake & Pajama
day we welcome everyone, from siblings to grandparents. We believe
that when the whole family is involved, the children are more likely
to feel that the day care is a safe place for them.
We offer several schedule options, which may be combined to best suit your needs. For
example, you can enroll your child for 2 mornings, 1 full day and
2 afternoons.
Our tuition rates (2009-2010 / 2010-2011) are adjusted accordingly and you only pay for
the time your child is at Oak Lane. We also offer drop-in care
if space is available.

7:30 am - 6:00 pm |

Depending on age and developmental level, children are placed
in one of three groups at the day care:
Infant and Young Toddler (maximum of 8 children with 2 teachers)
Older Toddler (maximum of 10 children with 2 teachers)
Preschool (maximum of 12 children with 2 teachers)
Oak Lane Day Care enrolls children year-round. However, most children start in September with the beginning of a new school year. If we cannot offer you a space right away, your child will be placed on our waiting list until a space becomes available.
