Oak Learners and the Community

Oak Learners provide their students with the opportunity of adventuring within the community. They visit places within the community such as parks close to the school, the library and they go down by the waterfront! This is a great opportunity for children to explore the community to see what it has to offer and what life is like in the city. Being in the outdoors allows children to explore nature while also keeping their mind relaxed and at ease! This time could allow for a much-needed break which will support children’s overall well-being! Oak Learners is always providing children with a wide variety of activities for them to participate in and feel safe while doing it!

“Nature is a tool to get children to experience not just the wider world, but themselves”

Melissa Shoesmith

Hello, my name is Melissa Shoesmith and I am currently in my fifth semester at Seneca College in the Bachelors of Child Development program. I am completing my field placement here at Oak Learners. Working with children is the most rewarding job in the world in my opinion. I love having the opportunity to watch children learn and grow. I always want to make a positive impact on a child's life!
