The Learning Tree Pre-School and Child Care Center
"Where learning and fun go hand and hand"
At The Learning Tree, our philosophy is that we meet the individual needs and interests of every child that walks through our door. Our child-centered curriculum is formed from the needs of each individual child. When your child leaves our school, they are not only socially ready for kindergarten, but they are academically prepared as well. Our goal is to meet the academic, social and emotional needs of the child as well as the needs of the working parent.
Ages of children: 6 weeks through 6 years old
Your child does NOT need to be potty trained. We will help potty train your child when YOU feel he/she is ready. We will follow your lead, or help guide you through the process.
We provide breakfast, two snacks a day, milk and juice. We have a hot lunch program that you may choose to take part in.
We have computers in every classroom, including the two's and three's classroom.
We offer discounts to parents of multiple siblings, EMT workers, police officers and firemen.
Some of our Programs include but are not limited to.....a computer teacher who teaches the children the inner workings and terminology of the computer, a science teacher who comes to our school to teach above and beyond what our science program includes and a yoga instructor who comes monthly.
World history and social studies are an important part of learning. With this in mind, we have a relationship with a local museum who allows us to take out and use exhibits from their museum to coordinate with our monthly themes.
Parental Involvement: The Learning Tree welcomes as much time as you are able to give to the school. We feel that the more the home and the school are connected, the more secure your child feels. We have Back-to-School Night in October, two parent/teacher conferences a year and numerous opportunities for the parents to come into the classroom throughout the year.
The Learning Tree strives for NACYE accreditation standards by having lower than the State’s staff/child ratio and introducing multicultural diversity in the classroom. We offer a wide variety of subject matter to the child, which includes, but is not limited to, phonics, mathematics, science and language arts.
At The Learning Tree, we feel that bringing the outside world in is opening up a whole new world for your child and we strive to expose them to as much as is age appropriate. We have a relationship with the area's assisted living home, the local fire department, and dentist. Throughout the year, we will visit the assisted living with songs, crafts and fun activities. During fire prevention week, the fire trucks visit our school to show the children the fire trucks and to expand on what we have taught them about fire safety. The local dentist will also visit to help expand on our lesson of dental hygiene. For Grandparents Day, we invite the grandparents in for a special snack, craft and circle time. The Learning Tree feels that these experiences help your child's growth and development.
We have a playground area and also use of the county playground across the street. We feel that fresh air and exercise is also a vital part of childhood and teaches healthy habits later in life.
