We definitely will recommend Treehouse for everyone in the area. Our daughter went here for about a year in the Little Angel class, and we now left due to our move to another city. The teacher-student ratio is good, and all the teachers are so caring and friendly to children. The listen and watch. I feel safe here.…

My daughter attended Treehouse from age 3 through 5. Treehouse is such a sweet, supportive, wonderful school. We are not religious, but chose Treehouse due to the great reviews, nice campus, and lack of teacher turnover (pretty much all of the teachers have been there for many years), and are so glad we did. Every member of the staff knows all of the kids by name, and the love they have for the children, and the children for the teachers and staff in return, is palpable. Treehouse is a perfect mix of fun play and deep learning of important life skills, expected behavior in the school environment, and academic curriculum. We are sad to have aged out of Treehouse for now, but look forward to returning with our younger child in a few years for the two year old class.

We definitely will recommend Treehouse for everyone in the area. Our daughter went here for about a year in the Little Angel class, and we now left due to our move to another city. The teacher-student ratio is good, and all the teachers are so caring and friendly to children. The listen and watch. I feel safe here. The daily activities are excellent, our daughter is always in a good mood when we pick her up. She brought back interesting project work every week and we are happy to see how fast she grow in the year. We will miss all the teachers in the LA class forever! Again, recommend here!

Treehouse Preschool is amazing. And on so many levels. We sent both of our kids here, including extending and utilizing their Transitional Kindergarten (T-K) for both. After Treehouse, both of our kids were more than ready for Kindergarten. All of the teachers were loving and truly cared for each kid. Our youngest started at just over two years old and was there for 3.5 years. There was a dad in my son's class who had gone to Treehouse himself 30 years ago, so that says something about how they felt about it. The school is well organized, the staff easy to communicate with, and being open from 7:30-6:00 and through almost all of the summer made scheduling our lives very easy. There are some schools that are "play based", and the kids at Treehouse do a lot of playing, but there is a lot of good learning time at Treehouse. They do really focus on that. If you're looking for a fantastic, well run, and educational school that has caring instructors, this is the place.

As the school year comes to an end, I have been reflecting on the amazing foundation Treehouse provided to my children (now rising 4th & 5th graders). We were fortunate to have experienced the nurture of so many talented and caring professionals during our 2+ years at Treehouse. While I have always privately recommended Treehouse to friends and neighbors I wanted to take a moment and publicly THANK these individuals who dedicate their lives to shaping our young ones - thank you Loretta, Rhonda, Jenna, Jill, Beverly, Heather and Dr. Jan.

We LOVE LOVE First Covenant Treehouse Preschool. Our 2 kids went here and started off in Little Angels. Every teacher we had was just amazing from teacher Loretta (who was a potty training pro) to teacher Heather who our son was so attached to. To teacher Jenna and Jill and Dr. Jan. These teacher gave all their heart and you can tell really cared deeply about the children and their growth. When entering Kindergarten I felt that our kids were absolutely more than prepared. They went through that first year learning what they have already learned in preschool. Not only did we have teachers that deeply cared and a great academic curriculum but we made so many friend that we are still friends with til this day. We would highly suggest First Covenant Treehouse Preschool!

We have sent our two daughters to Treehouse since 2022, and it has been a joy to watch them grow and mature under the thoughtful and loving care they receive. The Little Angels Treehouse staff patiently guided our daughters through the transition to care, making an often stressful experience for children and parents much smoother. Their expertise and confidence reassured us that our children were in excellent hands. Academically, our daughters have thrived, reaching key milestones such as writing, letter and number recognition, and counting at an early age. Socially, Treehouse has been instrumental in helping them develop important skills like emotional regulation and conflict resolution. We are also deeply grateful for the emphasis on spiritual formation, which we believe is creating a strong foundation for their future growth. Finally, being part of the Treehouse community has been a wonderful experience for our entire family. We've made meaningful friendships and truly feel connected to this special place. Treehouse is a nurturing environment that helps children grow in so many dimensions, and we highly recommend it.

All three of my children have attended Treehouse preschool for the past five years. The campus is beautiful, the hours are extensive to meet the needs of working parents, and the care for the children (their well being and development) is top notch. We are so grateful to have found such a high quality neighborhood preschool!

We’ve loved our 3 years at Treehouse with two children. The teachers are wonderful, and have great joy and patience. We’re very grateful our kids get to grow there.
