About the Provider

We are a pre-school with a long history in the Middle Village area. We prepare our students for grade school but more importantly we teach them to respect each other and to learn in an atmosphere of fun and cooperation. The Learning Tree is dedicated to educating each student intellectually and physically in a culturally diverse community. We offer each child an equal opportunity to develop the intellectual skills so necessary for a smooth transition into mainstream education. Our teachers, under the direction of our full time educational director, are trained in early childhood and elementary education. They are a dedicated group providing a warm and supportive base where open communication can take place. Their goal is to stimulate the learning process by exerting the kind of guidance which helps the child increase his self esteem and self direction.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
