Our Program and Philosophy
The Tree Town program is rooted in a philosophy of education that promotes “learning through play.” Teachers help direct the children’s play by giving them the tools and support necessary to:
• develop a healthy self-image;
• learn to cooperate with others;
• express himself/herself creatively through play, art,
music, language and science; and
• develop a sense of responsibility.
To achieve these goals, the curriculum is developed around units such as vegetables and healthy eating, science and nature, dinosaurs, jobs, and space exploration. Each unit is explored daily through music, small and large muscle activities, creative art experiences and opportunities for language development.
Tree Town prides itself on its highly skilled, qualified and devoted staff. Teachers are certified and most have master’s degrees in a relevant field, such as early childhood development, reading or elementary education. Our extremely talented teachers implement the educational program of the school, with the guidance of the school director and the parent board.
At Tree Town, we also truly believe our parents help to enrich our school through their diverse backgrounds, knowledge and expertise. We feel that this parent involvement is key to the children’s sense of belonging and to a special preschool experience!
