It's hard to put into words how much this school meant to us as a family, but I will try. Our daughter attended this school since she was 7 months old until she was almost 5 years old (2021-2025). Our son attended for a little less than a year until we had to move outside of Houston. In the four years we spent a this daycare, our experience was nothing short of exceptional. No place is perfect, but Oak Forest Academy really tries to get it right. Our children were loved and cared for. Our daughter was writing her name and knew all her letters at 4 years old. She was excited for the various activities, her friends, and her teachers. The various activities provided at the school really fostered a fun and playful learning environment. This school fosters a sense of community like no other. Parent groups helped keep open communication with the school and the school handled feedback from parents really well. As new parents, we were able to make great friends and really feel a part of a community here. This was so important since our first born was born during COVID. Both of our kids dealt with various allergies and this school was able to accommodate and provide alternatives. The meals were nutritious and our kids loved them. The Chef is wonderful and open communication with the classrooms, admin, and kitchen helped keep our kids safe despite dealing with various allergies. From the minute you park, you are greeted by the school security that helps keep our kids safe. This provides so much peace of mind. The teachers are wonderful and genuinely care for your kiddos. Both of our kiddos grew and learned so much here, especially our daughter. She talks about OFA often and how much she misses it. I know the waitlist can be frustrating, but this is truly a wonderful place to send your kids and worth the wait. I have searched high and low for a similar place in our new city and have yet to find something that compares. Thank you OFA for four wonderful years! We miss you dearly!
