Description: At The Teaching Tree, our education goal is simple—to help children grow intellectually and emotionally, while having a lot
of purposeful fun along the way. Our unique early childhood education programs are designed to match each child's developmental level. Our classroom equipment is industry tested and carefully chosen for age appropriateness.
Our program curriculums are consistent with the guidelines of the National Association for the Education of Young Children
(NAEYC), the most comprehensive accrediting body overseeing childcare, preschool, and toddlers. Moreover, our well-rounded program curriculums incorporate activities in all of the important developmental areas that benefit children throughout their early childhood education and elementary school years including:
Physical/Fine and Large Motor Skills
Thinking/Cognitive
Communication
Social/Emotional
Whatever your child's stage of development, The Teaching Tree has an early childhood education program curriculum to meet his or her early childhood education needs.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
