About The Tree House Child Care Center
At The Tree House Child Care Center, we believe that every child is born with competency, curiosity, and creativity. Our approach to early childhood education fosters independence, exploration, and a love of learning. Through play-based experiences, meaningful relationships, and a nurturing environment, we prepare children for a lifetime of success.
Our Philosophy
Just like trees, children grow best when they are deeply rooted in love, guidance, and discovery. We provide an enriching, safe space where children are encouraged to express themselves, explore their surroundings, and develop essential life skills.
Top Five Non-Negotiables
Our educators share a pledge to:
1.
Create a safe environment where children can play, learn and grow.
2.
Guide children as they develop skills for 21st century learning.
3.
Support families as they balance the demands of raising a happy and healthy child.
4.
Set the example of a good partner, professional and individual with a passion for life.
5.
Be a good neighbor who cares for others, our community and the environment.
Values we live by
If these values align with yours, this is the right place for your child. It’s why we get out of bed in the morning and what we nurture in the children we care for:
Learn by doing
Hands-on experiences build confidence and problem-solving skills.
Inclusion and diversity
Every child is valued and celebrated for who they are.
Partnerships
We work alongside families to provide the best care and learning experience.
Creativity
Expression and imagination are at the heart of our approach.
Community
Teaching children the importance of kindness and contribution.
Play is the occupation of childhood
Learning through play fosters joy and growth.
Reggio Amilia Inspired Child Care
What does that mean?
A “family tree”
The expression of our Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum is rooted in the interaction between teachers, children and families, and the environment.
Individualized and stimulating
Educators are advocates and truly get to know each child. Teachers incorporate project-based learning into daily activities based on the interests of the child, while stimulating learning by making the problems more complex and engaging.
The outdoors inside
The seasons inform our investigation stations to support math, science and language exploration based on elements found in nature.
Home-like setting
Indoors is filled with natural elements complemented by classrooms intentionally designed (and redesigned) to align with the interests of the children.
Community
Construction of knowledge is a group process and children play, learn and grow within their classroom community and when they come together as part of the entire Tree House community.
Breath of fresh air
Outdoor spaces designed for daily, hands-on interaction with nature including community gardening and nurturing animal friends within our bird houses and bug boxes.
Join the Fun!
We’d love to welcome your child to The Tree House family.
