Earth for Us to Protect

Welcome to Oak Leaf! A nonprofit organization founded by parents and educators. We are a network of micro-schools, currently in the Chicago metro area. Our programs take place outdoors in all seasons at public parks and nature areas.

About Oak Leaf

Our nature-based early childhood co-ops are run by dedicated parents and teachers. Each co-op upholds Oak Leaf's mission while meeting the unique needs of the community it serves.

Fund a Co-op

Donations benefit Oak Leaf's school programs by keeping tuition affordable while paying teachers a living wage.

Get to Know Us
