What Churches and Education Professionals are Saying
“As a teacher I have always looked for a way I could use my unique gifts within my church community. Oaks Learning gives me the opportunity to not only help prepare kids in our community for school but also show the love of Jesus to these kids and families as well! My church hosts a Summer Academy and it is a perfect opportunity to extend the gospel into the community our church serves.”
- Kim Baker ( Teacher )
“Our Summer Academy is a core part of our strategy to show love to the children and families in our church and neighborhood by helping kids get ready for a successful school year. We could not do this without such a strong and knowledgeable partner in Seed to Oaks. And as an added bonus, Summer Academy has helped strengthen our relationship with the local school -- they love how we are helping their students prepare.”
- Bobby Gilles ( Pastor )
