Charter Oak Day School is a place where
children can really enjoy their present world.
With a philosophy to motive children to achieve
their fullest potential, we propose to help
children achieve this potential by developing
competency in basic skills with quality
childhood experiences that will prepare them
for life.
Established in 1968, the school has grown to be
an inter-denominational and multicultural
organization with an average enrollment of 175 families and staff of 29 employees. Under the Administration of Mrs. Ozie Simpson, the Board of Directors and licensed by the State of California (Title XXII), the school offers various programs for families with children between the ages of 6 weeks to 12 years of age.
Our goal is to grow together in an atmosphere of love, understanding and togetherness among children, parents and the community.
As part of the school's enrichment program, the creative arts are presented in addition to basic lesson in Christianity as part of the daily curriculum.
We practice the "Open Door" policy and extend a warm welcome to all!
