We accept ERDC!

Not sure what ERDC is, or how to get it or use it? Send a message today to schedule your meet-and-greet and we can walk you through it! 

Now Open For Enrollment!

Wild Oak Preschool is now officially licensed with the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Childcare! This means we are now open for preschool enrollment! Contact me today to schedule your meet-and-greet and get enrolled! We are ready to get this program started!

A New Beginning

Wild Oak Preschool is a new childcare offering to the Applegate Valley community, sprouting up from a need for a fuller spectrum of childcare, to include time spent both indoors and out, longer days so parents can work, year-round scheduling so families can have consistent and reliable care, and alternative forms of payment including the DSHS childcare subsidy, ERDC. Wild Oak Preschool is a childcare program that is fully licensed with the state to enable parents the option of affordability with subsidized childcare payments. Wild Oak Preschool is more than just childcare, however. We offer a preschool experience that is rooted in nature and the child's curiosity, not driven by state standards and age-determined expectations, but rather, the child's inherent love of learning and connecting with their environment, indoors and out. Come grow with us!

Our Curriculum

We implement a secular, nature-inspired curriculum that focuses on social, emotional, and cognitive development. Our curriculum weaves together elements from several complementary parenting and teaching philosophies, including Charlotte Mason, Waldorf, Montessori, and wild schooling. Daily rhythms feature teacher-led educational and arts activities as well as child-led unstructured exploratory and nature play, including indoor and outdoor play, and quiet, restorative time. 

Our Teacher

 Hello! I'm Heather and I will be facilitating at Wild Oak Preschool. My youngest child, Aspen, who is 4, will also be a part of Wild Oak Preschool. I have been raising children of my own for 19 years now. Working with children and instilling within them a love of nature has been a lifelong passion of mine. My mother ran a home childcare program throughout my childhood and I have fond memories of those years. My educational background is in environmental & earth sciences, and elementary education. I have worked with children in many capacities that weave together early learning and our natural environment. I am truly inspired by Charlotte Mason's philosophies on early childhood with her whole-child approach and nature-inspired learning, and I am excited to bring this into my program to help inspire within your children a passion for learning through experiences and connections with the natural world.
