The small classes are the best, where the children get the attention they need and deserve. The teachers are wonderful and continuously reaching out to the parents on a personal level about your child's academic progress and activities. The older children help the younger children with their coats and back packs. I've never seen such a wonderful environment for children to grow up in. The staff is nothing short of wonderful. Every teacher in every grade knows your child. All the children in all grades know each other, play together and get along. A perfect example.. For Halloween I not only had my sons friends from class, but children from 3rd and 4th grade at my house for pizza and trick or treating. We are one big family. Ms. Cortez, the Principal.. Nothing short of wonderful! She cares about these children, substitutes classes when teachers are absent. She is a woman who wears many hats and I'm proud to call her our Principal. Bullying does not exist thanks to her! When all the children come out of school with smiles on their faces.... You know you've made the right decision.

PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE ! My son had been at…read moreOakdale for almost 2yrs, within the last 6 months I have had nothing but problems with the facilitators here. Audree is the manager and she lacks basic communication and interpersonal skills. I have sent countless emails and texts to both Audree and Debbie (the director) and nothing was resolved. My son's father went him up and witnessed his teacher, Nancy screaming at the top of her lungs like her was a grown man. My child is 4 years old ! The straw that broke the camels back was Friday, November 22th - I was called by Audree that my son fell and "cracked" his chin open. Already being suspicious of what transpires at this daycare I advised Audree that his father and I are on our way to watch the surveillance video of the incident. I get to the school and watch the tape. I see my son slide across the floor near a teacher, she moves him out of her way, causing him to slide into a table leg, he begins to cry, stands up holding a bloody chin and the SAME teacher walks by him 3 times while a second teacher just stands there. MY FOUR YEAR OLD STOOD THERE CRYING WITH HANDS COVERED IN BLOOD and no one helped him. A teacher from another room came in to finally perform first aid. I am appalled by what took place. I called 911 to intervene after failing communication efforts with myself and Audree following the incident. My son had to be taken to the ER and needed his chin glued together., I've called 311. I have filed every complaint possible. Please protect your babies from these monsters.
