Growing Tree Childcare and Preschool provides a program tailored for children aged 3 to 5 years. Our school is committed to delivering highly skilled and professional care, nurturing, and fostering the optimal development of young children. Teachers focus on small groups, ensuring each child has a primary teacher. The curriculum is designed to cater to families interested in Chinese bilingual education.
Children learn and develop crucial skills through play, including problem-solving, language development, negotiation, and decision-making. Imaginary and dramatic play enhance language skills by allowing children to model interactions with others. Playing with peers fosters social skills such as sharing, teamwork, and conflict resolution. Through play, children move at their own pace, explore their interests, and make decisions.
While play is integral to our program, we also emphasize holistic child development by incorporating academics. Our spacious environment provides ample opportunities for various academic activities, all with a bilingual (English and Chinese) focus. We strive to maintain a balance between play and academics to support children's overall growth and learning.
