Curriculum
Treehouse Day School has adopted the Experience Early Learning curriculum for Infant-PreKinder classrooms, and The Good and the Beautiful curriculum for PreKinder prep (those who miss the Kindergarten cut off). Both are widely regarded as a forward-thinking, comprehensive, rigorously researched approach that honors creativity and makes learning exciting and relevant for every child. Therefore, children have a great time and receive an education without even realizing it. We use hands-on, age-appropriate activities with small groups of children of the same age to give them the skills, knowledge and critical thinking foundation they need for life and school. Both Curricula are not only education based, they are also Christian based, with a designated unit specifically for biblical teaching. We also incorporate a Friday chapel time for our 2 year olds and older every Friday during the academic school year.
​
The Good and The Beautiful's goal is to teach advanced academics while connecting children to the good and the beautiful in life and in learning. The Good and The Beautiful helps children gain a love of learning and of wholesome powerful literature. While children are building their love for learning they are connecting closer to God, nature and high character.
