About the Provider
We believe in giving every child the ability to be a child. Every activity we do, whether it’s Spanish or music lessons with degreed instructors to gymnastics classes, is structured to help kids enjoy being kids. We offer small class sizes for more individualized attention and instruction. At Children's Learning Tree, there are state-certified teachers in every classroom. We focus on thematic learning and teach to the four pillars: intellectual, physical, emotional and social. We firmly believe that each pillar must be addressed to give each child a firm foundation. We also believe that education can be fun. We offer special events on an ongoing basis, and not just for the students. Parents take part in our annual Thanksgiving feast, summer gathering, and porch parties. We know that getting the whole family involved better builds the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
