Grow “N” Learn
At Little Tree, we are a mixed-age group playschool, with one large classroom combining ages 2 through 5. We believe that our mixed-age approach allows the younger children to learn
from their older peers, while giving the older children the opportunity to take on leadership roles in a nurturing environment.
Our play-based curriculum emphasizes exploration, creativity, and social emotional learning, ensuring that each child’s unique strengths are celebrated and supported. We believe that providing this type of learning environment will enhance their learning experience by providing diverse opportunities for play, friendship and growth.
Our teachers are committed to ensuring a safe, joyful, and enriching environment. We look forward to the opportunity to partner with you and your child to help create a fun, creative, and progressive experience.
