Infant Classroom
She has never tired of the “ah-ha” moments and the pride that swells in a little one who is learning to do something for the first time.
“My 3-year-old was deemed a “difficult” child at his previous preschool, and at night he wakes up crying from nightmares. He also didn’t enjoy going to school previously. Changing to Little Oxford Schoolhouse was a complete turnaround and he enjoyed school since day one. It’s been a week since he started and he’s always eager to attend school now. They have very hands-on and attentive teachers/principal. Would recommend highly.”
“Wonderful school, excellent teachers and staff. Little Oxford was the first school we enrolled our little girl in starting at 18mo. By the end of her first week, she was asking when she could go back. The weekend was just too long!
Her language and coordination blossomed at Little Oxford. She now uses “please” and “thank you” appropriately and uses appropriate greetings for adults and other children. She started to pick up Mandarin very quickly and can easily switch between basic English and Mandarin greetings and simple sayings.
Thank you, thank you to the wonderful team at Little Oxford!”.
