University Oaks Preschool

Our children have been going to University Oaks preschool for three years now and we are so so happy to have found the school! This is truly a place where the kids are seen and known individually, and nurtured as a whole person - physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually. We have had exceptional experiences with every teacher there and really cannot recommend this preschool highly enough! It has been a huge blessing to our family.

We have been so happy with University Oaks. The teachers and director are loving and supportive. My child had a hard time separating initially, and the teachers patiently worked with our family through this. Their encouragement was so appreciated! The team provides a perfect mix of crafts, open ended activities, play, and pre-academic skills. The teachers have years of experience clearly demonstrated in their organized and efficient management of the classroom. Most of all, their love for the kids is felt strongly by our whole family. We are so grateful and would highly recommend this preschool!

We moved to CA 7 years ago and immediately started looking for Christian preschools. We wanted to have our children in a place with teachers who love the Lord and teaching. University Oaks did not disappoint. I know my child is loved and cared for. I also know that I have friends within the school whether it be another parent to talk to or pray with or one of the teachers willing to help and go above and beyond. Two of our children have attended and graduated from this preschool and hopefully one more can join this inviting community when he’s older. They all love the playground. This school is a wonderful Christian environment with wonderful people. Very grateful for University Oaks Preschool.

I never write reviews. The fact that I am taking the time to write, is a testament to how much I love this school! My family’s experience with University Oaks Preschool has been nothing short of exceptional, and I am confident that it is the perfect place for your child to learn and grow also. We currently have two boys enrolled at University oaks. Our 4 year old has been there for nearly 3 years and our 2 year old started a few months ago. Our 4 year old started when he was 2 years old. He was a covid baby, only 6 months old when the initial shelter in place started. For family medical reasons we were fairly conservative with keeping a tight bubble for the next year or so. He has an older sister, so he had interactions with another child to play with, but limited interaction/socialization in a group setting or with making new friends. My wife and I were anxious to get him into school, in particular for the socialization. From the moment we enrolled our son, we were blown away by the warm, nurturing environment created by the dedicated teachers. They were incredibly supportive with helping him ease into his new surroundings and integrating him with the rest of his class. The teachers are not only highly skilled and experienced but also genuinely passionate about fostering each child's development. They provide a balanced curriculum that integrates play-based learning with foundational academics, ensuring that children are well-prepared for their future educational journeys. I’m blown away with the things he learns. In particular, he has really enjoyed their science curriculum! University Oak’s emphasis on social and emotional learning has also been remarkable. Our child has thrived in the supportive atmosphere, building strong friendships and developing important life skills. The small class sizes allow for personalized attention, and the variety of activities offered – from art and music to outdoor exploration – keeps the children engaged and excited about learning. Additionally, the communication between the school and parents is outstanding. We are regularly updated on our child’s progress and truly feel like the teachers want to tailor each kids experience to meet the family’s needs . They do a great job supporting our goals, so that there is consistency at home and at school. For example, our second child was slower to potty train and they were very supportive and actually helped us get through that experience. There are also a number of little things, like how they help on a morning where there is a tough drop-off and one of our boys is having some separation anxiety. They always make it easy, take control so you can walk away and then follow-up minutes later with a picture of them smiling and happy. Any parent who has gone through that scenario knows how heart wrenching it is. But, I honestly never worry about it, because I know they’ve got it! Lastly, the sense of community at University Oaks is awesome and families are warm and friendly. Choosing University Oaks has been one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents. Our 4 year old just graduated and is off to TK at St. Nicholas. We feel he is honestly over-prepared and will transition very easily. Although, I know he is bummed to leave his friends and teachers. I highly recommend University Oaks to any parent looking for a caring, enriching, and fun preschool environment.

This is a wonderful preschool! My daughter is thriving and happy! The teachers are loving and caring like I have never seen before. It is a unique place, where every kid is well known, and loved. I have never seen a preschool like this. I recommend University oaks preschool one hundred percent cent.
