Helping students thrive in-school and long after.
Project Oak partners with schools, districts, and families to learn and meet the unique needs of our children through dynamic, engaging, and playful programming.
We work alongside parents, teachers, and district leaders to strengthen the foundation our children stand on emotionally by clearly identifying the unique needs of the children,
Our mission is empowering children to live joyful, resilient, and fulfilling lives.
Nurturing an Enlightened Society
Children need emotional awareness and agency to thrive in a changing world. Recognizing and managing feelings builds resilience, empathy, and clearer decisions, helping them handle uncertainty and work across differences. Agency lets them act on values, solve problems, and advocate for themselves and their communities. Investing in these skills now boosts well-being and creates a more compassionate, adaptable society.
Learning children’s needs
We first learn each child’s needs by listening, observing, and asking gentle questions. Then we provide safe, predictable, nurturing settings with responsive care and chances to explore and play. Finally we offer tailored supports—emotional guidance, learning resources, and family partnerships—to help children thrive now and build future resilience.
