Giving Tree Preschool is dedicated to the education of children in an environment designed to stimulate and develop the child’s love of learning. Our use of Montessori philosophy leads to the development of a child’s strong sense of self esteem, dignity, independence, self direction, and awareness of the community. Social and emotional development is fostered in a nurturing atmosphere. Your child will direct his or her own learning with gentle guidance, through Montessori materials and methods. The work areas include Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, a Children's Library and separate room for Music and Art. To emphasize healthy living, we strive to use locally grown or organic foods.
Our daily rhythm depends greatly on the season and the children.All are encouraged to participate in:
