Our Team

Our educators are trained professionals chosen for their dedication to young children. They respect and love working with children, helping them to grow and adjust to the various stages of their lives. Our main focus is on your child’s self-esteem, as a solid foundation for his/her development. Positive reinforcement, praise and recognition are encouraged. Developing a positive self-image that your child carries through life is an important goal for us in the Learning Tree. We believe that through caring, listening, sharing, understanding and loving, we can enhance your child’s self-esteem so that he/she may look at the world and see endless possibilities and face every new challenge with excitement and confidence. Preparing your child to succeed in school is at the core of our child care curriculum.

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.
