Request InfoWelcome to Oak Forest Academy
At Oak Forest Academy in Houston, Texas we understand what families want most: a safe, loving environment where children are truly known and cared for. That’s why we provide exceptional childcare for children from infants to school-age, all in one convenient location designed with families in mind.
Our experienced team is dedicated to helping your child thrive at every stage. In our infant program, babies are cared for by consistent, loving caregivers who focus on comfort, routine, and developmental support. As your child grows, they’ll transition into our toddler program, where age-appropriate learning and play spark confidence, independence, and curiosity.
For older children, we offer after-school programs and exciting summer camps that blend learning and fun through enriching activities, homework support, and plenty of time to connect with friends.
Located in the heart of Houston, our center makes it easy for busy families to access trusted, high-quality care. Join our childcare community and experience the peace of mind that comes from knowing your child is in a place where they can grow, learn, and shine with confidence.

Meet Our Operations Director
My name is Krystal, and I serve as the operations director. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of Texas at San Antonio, where I worked in student affairs within the university’s wellness sector. During my undergraduate studies, I taught in the classroom, working with at-risk children before becoming an educator in Boston.
As I continued to refine my teaching skills, I became recognized for elevating childcare with a focus on respectful caregiving and mindfulness. I am dedicated to supporting institutions that care for the whole child and guide our teachers in implementing evidence-based strategies to build authentic connections in the classroom.
