About the Provider

Advertisement
Started over 35 years ago, Treehouse at St. Paul's Learning Center was originally known as TreeHouse, and operated as a three-hour, morning and afternoon preschool. St. Paul’s was merely the space rented by the owner of TreeHouse.

In 2001, Pastor Keith Karau and St. Paul’s UCC purchased TreeHouse to serve as part of their ministry to the people of Oakville. The name was changed to reflect the church’s involvement with the ministry. A full day “Preschool with Extended Care” option was added to help meet the needs of working families who needed child care. Building on the goal of “Establishing Strong Roots for Future Development,” St. Paul’s eagerly added a Christian component to the already successful program.

Today, TreeHouse continues its 35 year tradition of a comprehensive, Christian based, early childhood facility, dedicated to providing children and parents with quality education and services. TreeHouse at St. Paul’s is “home away from home” to 150 children, ages 6 weeks through age 12.
