The Growing Tree Playcare & Preschool is a nature-based cearly childhood center, accepting children ages 6 weeks to 6 years. With roots in Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf approaches, each class is child-centered according to the age and stage of the children. We believe in teaching, modeling, and fostering compassion and a love of learning from day one. Team teaching allows for a healthy ratio of teachers to children, giving everyone time and space for one on one interactions, and lively play.
