Earth for Us to Protect

Welcome to Oak Leaf! A nonprofit organization founded by parents and educators. We are a network of micro-schools run by parents and teachers, currently in the Chicago and Atlanta metro areas. 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.

START A CO-OP

Each co-op operates autonomously as a chapter under the Oak Leaf umbrella, meeting the unique needs of each community. 

Get to Know Us

Oak Leaf Cooperative School was founded in September 2021 by a group of parents and educators. Our directors and officers manage the nonprofit infrastructure that supports our co-ops.
