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.
EARLY BIRD
- At the request of parents and teachers, we are providing Early Bird
Service. Students who arrive at school early should go to designated
Early Bird Room.
Main Building (3rd Grade Classroom) - 7:30-7:55
Primary Building (Library) - 7:30-8:00 (1st & 2nd grade) and 7:30-8:15
(K4 -K5)
KNIGHT SHIFT - Knight Shift is a service provided for
parents who want quality care for their children after school. Some students
attend Knight Shift regularly; others come on a drop-in basis. All children
in full-day K5 through grade 8 who are at school 15 minutes after the
dismissal time of the oldest sibling will be escorted to Knight Shift.
We are glad to offer this convenience at our busy campus. Charges will
be invoiced as follows: A weekly fee of $45.00 or a drop-in fee of $4/hour.
Hours are 2:45pm - 6:00pm daily in the Primary Building. (M-F). Students
in Knight Shift should be able to complete their homework, enjoy a snack
and play time daily, do an occasional art project, and attend home basketball
games.
LUNCH BUNCH
- Lunch Bunch is an extension of our K4 program and is designed for children
to come on a day-to-day basis. The teachers supervise lunch, recess, crafts and center
time. It is a great time for 4 year olds to become accustomed to a longer day, develop
social skills, and for parents to have an occasional free afternoon. Many children come
several days a week. Lunch Bunch is from 11:30 to 2:20. The charge for Lunch Bunch
is $8/day with an additional charge if lunch is ordered from the school menu.
