Both of our children attended Oak Forest Academy since they were six weeks old and we cannot express how comfortable they made us feel since day one. It's never easy leaving your baby with a stranger but they always made us (and our children) feel more like family. The teachers are warm, gentle, and express personal interest in each child. There is also a great community of parents at this school that I feel the admin fosters.
There is a curriculum in each classroom and we were always surprised when our children would come home with a new skill that they had been practicing at school! They were served nourishing meals and the chef would have interactive "cooking" classes that I know our children loved. They also offered external activities on site such as Soccer Shots, Tippi Toes, and Mrs. Makers Art/Science class.
Like any school, there was some turnover and we would occasionally see new teacher's faces in the classroom but I feel the admin did their best to have seamless transitions and retain the best talent at OFA.
We were so sad to leave OFA due to relocation out of state but we would highly recommend this school to any family looking for a clean, well ran, and safe place to send your children.

Hi Brittany! Thank you for your support for Oak Forest Academy! Creating meaningful early learning experiences for children and families is what inspires us every day.
As a parent, we absolutely loved our experience at OFA! The teachers and staff truly cared about our child and always made us feel welcomed and informed. Communication was excellent, and we always knew what was happening throughout the day.
The enrichment activities were engaging and thoughtfully planned, giving our child so many opportunities to learn and grow beyond the classroom. We also appreciated the variety and quality of the menu, which made me feel confident that our child was receiving nutritious meals each day.
OFA provided a safe, loving, and enriching environment, and we're so grateful for the care and support our family received. We highly recommend OFA to any family looking for a wonderful preschool experience!

Thank you so much, Diamond, for your kind words! It was wonderful having your family as part of our OFA family, and families like yours make our community so special. Wishing you all the best as you transition into this new chapter, and you'll always have a place in our Oak Forest Academy family. 💚
5/5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We absolutely love Oak Forest Academy! Our child recently transitioned out of this wonderful school, and leaving this community is truly bittersweet.
Two things that truly set them apart are their incredible curriculum and meal program. We love their age-appropriate weekly lesson plans that always kept our child engaged, curious, and excited to learn. It was also such a huge relief as a parent to know they provide freshly made, healthy lunches with a menu that updates every week—so nutritious and delicious!
The teachers are remarkably loving, and the admin team runs everything so smoothly and professionally. Our child thrived both socially and academically here. Thank you, Oak Forest Academy, for taking such amazing care of our little one!

Thank you, Yang Kai, for your kind words! We loved having your family as part of our OFA family. We are so grateful especially for your time and expertise, helping us around the school. Families like yours make our school such a special place. Wishing your family all the best in this next chapter and know that you will always have a special place in the OFA family!
They are rude!! Adam answered my call and was very professional he than transferred me to the director who I think was named Sylvia. I was on my way to get my son fries when I decided to call them so once the director got on the phone I asked her to give me a quick second so I could order my sons fries. Took me 15 seconds and she hung up without saying one word. If this is how they treat new families trying to send their kids here I rather take my son elsewhere.
