Their interest in getting to know our entire family and the kindness they show our younger son (who will soon enroll at The Treehouse himself) is truly heartwarming. I cannot recommend The Treehouse enough to families who are looking for a welcoming community and play-based learning environment.

Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Meghan are awesome -- knowledgeable, fun, and very kind. They really care about the kids and have just the right balance of structure and flexibility. The kids learn a lot too. They did a whole unit on fire safety, where they learned songs to help them remember how to keep safe and they got to meet firefighters and climb on the firetruck. They do many lovely art projects as well and each day they are learning numbers and letters. The facility is great -- with different themed play areas that change every month or two, an outdoor playground and a big gym with tricycles for rainy days. Can't say enough good things about this preschool! (FYI, the preschool closed during the pandemic then reopened in 2023)

Some of my favorite things about this preschool are the active, imaginative outdoor play space, the learning curriculums which include strategies for all learning styles and a hands-on science curriculum Mrs. Darragh designed herself. I also appreciate that healthy snack options like fruit are always offered, that there is an emphasis on helping children develop the social and emotional skills that will best serve them in kindergarten, and of course I love the care and attention paid to my student's individual needs. This preschool is run as a venture of Rose Hill Church so the cost is much lower than you find at for-profit preschools. And what a value you get! I can't recommend it highly enough to someone looking for an affordable, play-based preschool for their little one.

The school's approach to child-based learning was a wonderful introduction to the Montessori method, which has set our children up incredibly well for the rest of their education and life! The school's facility is large and open, with beautiful outdoor play spaces and lots of space in each of the classrooms. The teachers are highly qualified and especially caring. Every day our children spent at the school, we know was a day well spent where they learned many subjects, experimented, socialized with peers and were nurtured in a trusting and safe environment. The school's Director, Jayme, runs an amazing establishment and Montessori program. It was very comforting for us to see Jayme and the other teachers and staff everyday. They all knew our children, our family, and made the school a welcoming and inclusive place.

Our fees check was en cashed on 7th June and told us to not send him to the daycare on June 10th at 3:07 PM, you can do the math.

Also impressive was the effort she puts in for all the kids there. I could see the advancement in my daughter pretty quickly, she started putting together words and soon was reading smaller books. The curriculum is not limited to reading and writing but covers diverse topics on science, math, geography, Spanish and so on and is taught in a way that's easily grasped by these young tots. Even during the pandemic, Shantha took every effort to keep the teaching moving along via online classes with a similar curriculum. I highly recommend this school.
