Oakcrest Preparatory Academy Rivergate

Oakcrest Preparatory Academy provides educational childcare, with age-specific classrooms and enrichment spaces for children. Its approach combines Montessori and traditional learning, giving children opportunities for guided exploration alongside structured instruction. Programs build language and literacy through sign language, early phonics, Spanish, Letterland, and kindergarten-readiness curriculum. STEAM education covers science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Children also take part in physical education and an athletic program, with nutrition supported by a chef-led kitchen. The academy describes its focus through environment, education, development, and experience, with activities intended to support children's growth at different stages. Preschool, pre-K, and transitional kindergarten teachers are required to hold a degree in early childhood education or a related field. The Rivergate location is on Steele Creek Road in Charlotte, North Carolina.
