Rooted in love, growing with purpose
15+ years of nurturing young minds, building lasting friendships, and partnering with families to give every child the extraordinary start they deserve.
OUR STORY
From one oak tree to a flourishing community
Tiny Oaks was founded in 2012 by early childhood educator Eleanor Hart, who believed that children flourish when they feel deeply safe, seen, and free to explore. What began as a small playgroup beneath a centuries-old oak tree in Greenfield Village has grown into a beloved community of 320+ families.
Our philosophy remains unchanged: every child is born curious, capable, and full of wonder. Our role is to protect that wonder while gently building the skills and confidence they’ll carry for life.
