The
Ramsey's

Lord and Nichelle Ramsey with their son, founders of The Ramsey Oaks.

Our Story

Our story began long before our school opened when we met as two teachers who shared the belief that children deserve to be cared for, understood, and supported as whole people. After welcoming our son, we felt even more strongly about the value of a Montessori education—yet we also recognized that many families, including our own, struggled to access it. That realization inspired us to create an affordable, intimate Montessori option for our community.

We opened our school in 2024 with the goal of offering a warm, welcoming environment where children can learn at their own pace and feel genuinely supported. With smaller teacher-to-student ratios, we’re able to provide close attention and individualized guidance that helps children build confidence, independence, and a natural love for learning.

​Our mission is to cultivate curious, independent, and resilient lifelong learners while maintaining a strong emphasis on community and family involvement. We want families to feel like we’re partners in their child’s journey, and that they’re genuinely supported and welcomed here. We value kindness, empathy, and clear, consistent boundaries that help children feel secure and capable. These principles shape our daily work and create a space where children can grow socially, emotionally, and academically.

 

As we look ahead, our vision is to continue expanding access to Montessori education—eventually serving additional age groups and growing into a larger center—while remaining grounded in the warmth, purpose, and authenticity that guided us from the start. We believe every child deserves a high-quality, caring education, and we’re committed to making that experience more accessible for all families.

Our Journey as Educators

Our individual journeys to Montessori have varied greatly, yet we both share a deep understanding of its profound impact on a child's development.
