We believe in providing our students a world class and worldly cultural experience while attending the TreeHouse Academy. We strive to make sure that our staff and students both are multi-lingual and from a variety cultures and socio-economic backgrounds. This combination will allow for both students and educators to share and teach each other about language, foods, local customs and practices, and to promote the many beautiful people, languages, and cultures in our diverse world. Your child will have exposure to Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and many more.

We believe strongly in sports and the competitive spirit. We have a 110 x 35 ft padded turf sports field in which the students will be partaking in various games / sports / and events. Sports will teach the students organization, teamwork, hard work, participation, and the essence of friendly competition.

At least once a week we have a child instructor hold yoga or Kids Gym classes for the students either outside under the shade of one of our outdoor classrooms or under our beautiful trees. If the weather is not cooperating, then we will host under the tree in the Atelier. We have a beautiful, yet challenging playground for the students to take part in at various times throughout the day to enhance their gross motor development.

Our Music program is influenced by the Reggio Emilia project approach to early childhood education. Each child will participate in activities that include different range vocal explorations, fun, and whimsical chants, simple songs, interactive singing games, group participation musical stories, instrument play, musical listening activities, and movement exploration. Music activities inspired by this approach include light and shadow play, lyric composition, video documentation. Classroom learning objectives are always incorporated during music & movement activities to reinforce fundamental milestones.

The power of a good storyteller can be a tremendous trait for a person in today's world.  Look at some of the most powerful orators in our world today – and we believe it is never too young to start.  We have several beautiful and inspiring locations throughout our facility for storytelling.  We urge the students to lead and captivate their audience now and for the future.

At TreeHouse Academy we have built a beautiful functional garden along with an interactive mud station. These areas will be utilized by the children throughout their day and each child will have the opportunity to learn about, formally plant, and hands-on care for a variety of child friendly plants, delicious vegetables, and tasty fruits. They will have the opportunity to harvest the fruits and vegetables, properly prepare each item and eat them for a true farm to table experience.

Our art program is influenced by Reggio Emelia process approach to early childhood education. Each child will participate in activities that engage the whole child in an immersive hands on approach that is an essential tool for social, linguistic, and cognitive development in this and all areas. Children can learn more effectively and understand experiences at advanced levels by representing them in art forms ranging from painting, drama, music, and puppet play.

Nature inspired friendly learning spaces, toys, and teaching tools have been incorporated with STEAM processes to facilitate critical thinking and inspire learning. We aim to stimulate and illuminate our students’ path to understanding the fundamentals of Science, Technology, Art, Math, and Engineering throughout their day.

What sets the TreeHouse Academy apart is that we have taken the best academia of multiple renowned curriculums and incorporated these ideals, philosophies, teaching styles, and child enriching techniques into our own Reggio Emilia inspired method of education.
