The Oaks Staff
We're blessed to have a very qualified and committed staff who are dedicated to partnering with parents. If you visit their classrooms or watch them in the hallways, it won't take you long to see that they love God and they love people. They have taken to heart Christ's words to his disciples, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them” (Matthew 19:14).
