Preschool Director, Vickie Bolduc

Oakbrook preschool offers a rich, broad-based curriculum centered on the teachings of British Educator, Charlotte Mason. Preschool provides a hands-on learning curriculum focusing on academics. Children in 5-year-old kindergarten receive a firm foundation in math, phonics, social studies, science, and handwriting. Our K4 program involves a strong balance of academics and fun, incorporating arts and crafts into lessons on science, math, and learning letters and numbers. Art and music classes taught by trained teachers enrich both our K4 and K5 programs. Our K4 and K5 programs also include early foreign language instruction and physical education. Both programs strive to instill independence and responsibility, as well as positive character traits and moral values in the children. Our staff recognizes each child's unique rate of development, and therefore our curriculum focuses on different levels of ability, individual needs and learning styles. Student activities are designated to promote each child's self esteem and a positive outlook toward learning.
