Mission Statement

We know what a privilege it is to be trusted with your child's care and how important this decision is to your family. Teaching Tree knows that child care is a partnership between the center and parents, and together we can provide a wonderful place for your child to develop and thrive.

At Teaching Tree, we believe that children are natural explorers, born with curiosity about the world around them and an eagerness to learn, discover, and grow. We foster this curiosity by providing children with meaningful opportunities to explore, create, interact, and engage with a variety of materials and experiences.

We believe that play is one of the most important ways children learn. Through a combination of child-guided exploration and teacher-guided activities, our teachers create an engaging environment where children can build confidence, develop new skills, form relationships, and discover their individual interests.

To complement our play-based approach, Teaching Tree follows a high-quality, highly rated early childhood curriculum designed to support children at every age and stage of development. Our curriculum provides age-appropriate learning experiences that foster growth in language and literacy, early mathematics, science and discovery, social-emotional development, creativity, physical development, and problem-solving skills.

By combining a proven curriculum with purposeful play and caring, engaged teachers, we strive to provide a well-rounded learning experience that meets children where they are while continually encouraging them to reach the next stage of their development.

Our goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every child is encouraged to explore, learn, grow, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
