About Us

The Learning Tree is an environment designed to fulfill the needs of  the preschool child. This is a place where children are given time, space, and guidance to grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually.  The following quote, written by one of our parents, reflects our  philosophy. "I am glad to see that the work my child brings home reveals  his own creativity. It shows that he is participating in hands-on  learning and is free to express his own individuality."

We  have been individually owned and operated since 1977 and are fully  licensed by the State of New Jersey. Children are actively engaged  throughout their day and spend their time working with materials and  other children, as well as learning through play.

Many  learning tools are openly available to children including building  blocks, construction materials, props for pretend play, picture books,  art materials, and table toys such as matching games, pegboards, and  puzzles. Children have an opportunity to play outside every day, weather  permitting.

We vary our instruction and  interactions with our students. We work with individual children, small  groups, and whole groups at different times during the day. Our teachers differentiate instruction and make adaptations for children who are  advanced as well as children who need additional support. Teachers  recognize that children's different backgrounds and experiences mean  they do not learn the same things at the same time in the same way.

Children  and parents look forward to school. Parents feel secure about sending  their child to our programs. Children are happy to attend.
