The Learning Tree (Preschool)
Learning Tree Forms:
Providing a positive and safe environment where students can develop personal potential and lifelong learning skills for our changing world since 1965.
Our philosophy is that our program should fit the child; the child should not have to fit the program!
First United Methodist Church’s Learning Tree, a developmental preschool and pre-kindergarten, has been providing excellence in early childhood education since 1965. The staff at Learning Tree is comprised of dedicated early childhood teachers. Learning Tree is licensed through the Department of Human Services. An age-appropriate curriculum is offered. This is a careful blend of teacher- initiated activities that build on children’s interests and children’s self-directed activities and play. Activities are suited to children’s ages and abilities and address all areas of development: intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and creative.
