Description: Oak Tree Academy was originally established in 1979 by Roseann Rinear in a small Los Angeles community after the birth of her first son. As a third grade teacher, Roseann had first hand knowledge of the importance of early childhood education for children in elementary school. With the needs of her own child in mind, Roseann wanted a clean, caring and child centered program for his childcare setting. Many things have changed since 1979 in the field of early childhood education, but the basic principles are still important for children and families: a clean, caring and child centered environment. Roseann's love and respect for early childhood education led her to further study and to earn her doctorate in Child and Youth Studies in 2003. She now believes that children need more than what she required of her childcare center in 1979. Today's children are required to start kindergarten with more complex skills than ever before. As caring parents, we find ourselves in an educational quandary concerning raising academic super children with no time to play; spending time working with flash cards and computers so our children won't fail in elementary school. After much research and observation, Dr. Roseann has come to realize that children learn best by doing! This is not a new concept- Piaget and Erikson (the two most respected authorities on children) advanced this theory many years ago.
Oak Tree Academy believes that children will learn and grow academically through exploring their environments, testing their theories and having their teachers understand where each child is in his or her development.
