Why The Learning Tree Preschools?

What our families have to say!

Lydia Conway

 “We have absolutely loved having our kids attend the Learning Tree Preschool. Every aspect of the school from the director, to the teachers, to the robust curriculum, to the extensive activities have been outstanding! The same director has been there since the Needham location opened (3.5 years ago) she is beyond wonderful to work with - very caring, always communicative, and so accommodating! We’ve had many of the same amazing teachers throughout our entire three years here and they truly create a nurturing environment for our kids to play, learn, discover, and grow! I recommend The Learning Tree to every parent friend I have and meet and will continue to do so for years to come!"

Conscious Discipline

At The Learning Tree Preschool, we follow the principles of Conscious Discipline, developed by Dr. Becky Bailey. This research-based approach views discipline as a teaching opportunity, helping children build essential life skills while creating a safe, connected, and supportive learning environment.

Our Foundation

We focus on four key cornerstones that guide daily interactions in our classrooms:

Creating Safety

We use consistent routines and meaningful rituals to help children feel secure, confident, and ready to learn.

Building Connection

Strong relationships are at the heart of learning. We prioritize connection, knowing that children thrive when they feel seen, valued, and supported.

Teaching Self-Regulation

We coach children to manage their emotions and calm their bodies using strategies such as S.T.A.R. breathing (Smile, Take a deep breath, And Relax).

Guiding Problem-Solving

We support children through conflict resolution by focusing on solutions and empowering them to make positive choices.

Our Goal

Our goal is to nurture emotional literacy, impulse control, assertiveness, and thoughtful decision-making—skills that support lifelong success in school and beyond.
