The Learning Tree Preschool Center

Since 1974, families have entrusted the care of their children to The Learning Tree Preschool Center. The Learning Tree's motto, "As the twig is bent, so grows the tree," is evidence of an environment where a Christian staff can help children develop good "roots" to grow upon. The preschool provides both a pre-kindergarten program and a full day care program for children ages 2 through 4. Licensed by the Florida Department of Children and Family Services, The Learning Tree follows the Wee Learn curriculum and offers music, computer and fitness programs. The dedicated staff, led by Director Henrietta Younger, encourages children to grow and develop individual skills, attitudes and understanding - a strong foundation that helps prepare them for school.

As a ministry of San Jose Baptist Church, children can enjoy the same quality environment during the week and on Sundays. Each classroom is equipped with "learning centers" that give children opportunities to learn through play and exploration. The Learning Tree also has two playgrounds with fun, safe and age-appropriate equipment for active playtime.
