About the Provider

Description: Our vision is to have the children and families who enter the doors of The Learning Tree to sense the love of Jesus as we build lasting relationships together. God has given parents and teachers the awesome responsibility of nurturing the children He has placed in our care.

We believe it is important to teach the word of God to young children. In faith, we believe that when we plant the seeds of God’s word, the child develops in the wisdom and knowledge of God and His ways. Teachers include a daily Bible lesson so that the child’s personal relationship grows and is enhanced with songs, Bible stories and verses. Teachers also use this time to present life application lessons that connect to children’s lives in a meaningful, age appropriate way. In our curriculum, we pray that God will be perceived as our creator and in control of our lives and universe.
