Welcome to the Tree House!

Where curiosity is sparked and the joy of learning begins.  

We believe that every child is curious, competent, and capable. We lean into their unique interests and allow them to take a lead role in shaping their own learning.

We offer an enriched, play-based Kindergarten program rooted in emergent curriculum, that allows our young minds to explore complex concepts through project-based experiential learning. Our welcoming environment invites students to engage, ask questions, get messy, and explore the world around them.

We focus on building lifelong skills through social and emotional learning while laying the foundation for higher academic thinking. We provide opportunities to use all types of learning styles to build on students’ literacy and numeracy skills throughout this process.

The Importance of a Strong Kindergarten Program

Laying the Foundation for Future Success in School and Life

A robust Kindergarten program is essential in setting the stage for a child’s future success in both school and life. Research shows that the early years of a child’s life are critical for brain development and establishing a solid foundation for lifelong learning. Key focus areas in our program include:

• Building Cognitive Skills: A strong Kindergarten program introduces children to essential academic concepts and skills, such as literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving. These cognitive skills provide the foundation for more advanced learning as children progress through school.
• Social and Emotional Development: Kindergarten can be a child’s first experience in a structured group setting. A high-quality program emphasizes social and emotional learning, helping children build skills like empathy, self-regulation, cooperation, and conflict resolution. These skills are vital for forming healthy relationships and adapting to new environments throughout life.
• Fostering Curiosity and Love of Learning: A well-rounded Kindergarten program nurtures children’s natural curiosity and instills a love of learning that carries through their entire educational journey. By providing engaging, hands-on experiences and fostering critical thinking skills, we help children develop a growth mindset and a passion for exploration and discovery.
• Developing Confidence and Resilience: Our Kindergarten program focuses on building children’s self-confidence and resilience, helping them to navigate challenges and setbacks with a positive attitude. By offering a supportive environment where children feel safe to take risks and learn from their mistakes, we empower them to become independent, resourceful, and adaptable individuals.
• Establishing a Strong Home-School Connection: A solid Kindergarten program prioritizes collaboration with families, recognizing the immense value of a supportive and engaged learning community in promoting each child’s growth and success.
