At OCMS, we’re reimagining early childhood education as a space for liberation, cultural affirmation, and joyful discovery. We offer a warm, in-home learning environment where children ages 18 months to 4 years are deeply seen, supported, and empowered to grow into confident, compassionate thinkers. Our approach is inspired by Montessori principles—but we take it further. We center the lived experiences of families who have long been excluded from this type of nurturing education. We honor identity, encourage creativity, and create space for children to develop critical thinking, empathy, and self-trust from the very beginning. Here, children are free to explore, make choices, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways. We guide with love, set boundaries with intention, and foster a rhythm that supports each child’s natural development. This is not school as usual. This is education for justice. This is learning that hels and uplifts.
