Why We Focus on Ages 0–4:

🎯 The Right Care for the Right Stage

At Learning Tree Home Daycare, we specialize in nurturing children from infancy through age 4 — a critical window of development that lays the foundation for future learning, behavior, and well-being.

We believe the early years aren’t just preparation for “real school” — they are real school. But they must be approached with the right environment and expectations for each developmental stage.


🏡 Home-Based Care for Ages 0–3: A Gentle, Secure Start

Infants and young toddlers need:

  • ✅ Consistent and responsive caregivers
  • ✅ A calm, secure environment
  • ✅ Small group interactions
  • ✅ Flexibility in routines

This is where home daycare shines. With fewer children, familiar faces, and a warm, home-like atmosphere, we provide the emotional safety and personalized attention every child needs in their first few years of life.


👶 Why We Serve Children Up to Age 4

We continue care through age 4 with intentional learning built into each day through:

  • 🎨 STEAM-inspired play
  • 📖 Early literacy and number concepts
  • 🧪 Hands-on exploration
  • 💞 Social-emotional development

Our program grows with your child, bridging the gap between toddlerhood and preschool readiness. Children at this stage benefit from both structure and flexibility, which we balance through nurturing routines and engaging activities.


🏫 Center-Based Preschool: A Natural Next Step After Age 4

While we support learning through play and introduce preschool-level concepts, we also recognize that traditional preschool environments (especially for ages 4–5) offer unique opportunities:

  • Large-group peer interaction
  • Multi-room learning zones
  • Higher-level academic preparation

That’s why we work closely with families to guide the transition to a center-based preschool when it’s the right time for your child.


🌱 Our Philosophy

We believe children thrive when they’re in the right place at the right time.

Learning Tree is a safe, enriching home away from home during the years when children need closeness, consistency, and calm.

From baby’s first smile to toddler independence and early pre-K skills, we’re here to walk alongside your family — with care that grows as they do.
