We discovered this hidden gem of a preschool by chance—and now consider it fate. From the moment we walked in, we felt the warmth and care that sets The Learning Tree apart. Our daughter blossomed in their nurturing environment, and we are beyond thankful for the incredible growth she experienced during her time there.
The attention to each child is truly personalized, and it shows in everything from the thoughtful crafts to the engaging music performances. Every day brought new excitement and learning, and our daughter came home happy, confident, and full of stories.
We couldn’t recommend The Learning Tree more highly. We feel so fortunate to have another little one who will get to experience the same joy, care, and creativity that made such a difference for our family. |

The love and warmth our daughter received at the Learning Tree these past few years has been the best gift for us all. When we were looking at all of the area preschools for a spot for our daughter, we really just wanted to find someplace where she could feel loved and supported while she grew into her own little person. Kelli and the whole crew are so amazing. She has had the most fun every day, made the best friends, and grown into her amazing self. We are so thankful for you all and know that you have helped make our little sunshine into the person she is today. Full of love and friendship, confidence and a dash of sass. I wish everyone could have such a perfect preschool experience and that we could send her until shes 10. Ha.

I highly recommend Learning Tree Preschool to any parents looking to enroll their child in a preschool program! My son just finished up his second year at Learning Tree and is off to Kindergarten! He is our oldest child, and this was our first time as parents choosing any type of schooling program. Kelli made us feel right at home from the moment we met her for a tour and throughout my son’s entire time at Learning Tree! She always kept us in the loop with how he was doing throughout the year. It was such a good feeling as first time parents to know that we picked the perfect school for our family! The teachers Ms.Kelli, Ms. Ali and Ms. Ani are all so kind, caring, patient and have such special relationships with each and every child. The projects and learning circuits they teach throughout the year are so thought out and well executed! My son is so sad to leave LT but I am certain that he is Kindergarten ready thanks to Learning Tree…. and I am so glad we have another little one starting up with Kelli and her team in the fall! |

I can’t recommend Learning Tree enough! My daughter attended for three years and was excited for everyday. The teachers, Ms. Kelli and Ms. Ali are caring, dedicated and skilled at creating an enriching environment for the students. They love each child individually, allowing their skills to shine. They provide each child the tools to succeed by forming structure in the classroom, comfortability in group-peer settings and unlocking their imaginations through various activities. The Learning Tree keeps a child’s mind engaged both in and out of the classroom with holiday shows, field trips, kids nights and summer camps.
As a parent I have witnessed the firsthand positive impact The Learning Tree has had on my child’s growth and development. I highly recommend Learning Tree for any parent looking for an excellent early education experience! |

The learning tree preschool is the best! My daughter Evelynn started at learning tree just after her 3rd birthday and did 3 years with Kelli, Ali and Ani. Because of them Evelynn has broken out of her timid shell to an excited girl who loves to learn. As an early childhood educator myself I have been so impressed with the nurturing environment of the school. Honestly if Learning tree did elementary school we would never leave. I am so confident in my daughters readiness for kindergarten and it is all because of them. |

We absolutely love the Learning Tree Preschool! My granddaughter, Nina, started at 2.9. This is her third year, and then off to kindergarten in the Fall! Because of her experience here, she is more than ready to start kindergarten with solid skills--socially and academically! As a retired early child educator, I could not be happier with the curriculum that Learning Tree exposes the children to! The social and academic skills she has acquired are impressive! Nina has strengthened her social, oral language, fine motor and reading readiness skills. She is so happy to go to school each morning! We look forward to this Fall when our youngest granddaughter will be attending Learning Tree! We can't thank Ms. Kelli, Ms. Ali and Ms. Ani enough! |

All three of my children attended Learning Tree Preschool- LT has been such an important part of our lives for the past 7 years. For us, the staff were not just teachers, they felt like family and treated our kids with such love and respect throughout our time there. Even during the craziness of covid, LT was the constant in our life that kept our kid's learning on track and went above and beyond to ensure their safety and happiness each day. Now that our youngest is entering into kindergarten, we will miss the teachers and all the friends made at LT so much. We feel so grateful that we chose this little school to prepare our babes for elementary years. For anyone looking for the best of the best- look no further you have found it. |

My daughter started at Learning Tree when she was 2.9yrs old and is now off to kindergarten in the
fall. I feel so lucky to have found Learning Tree because Ms. Kelli, Ms. Kelly and Ms. Ali
understand how critical a child's early years are in their learning and development. At Learning Tree, children are surrounded by a safe, caring environment that promotes an enthusiasm for learning. The curriculum is adaptive, well structured and consists of a wide variety of fun activities that promotes literacy and fundamental skills.
At Learning Tree, children are surrounded by teachers that are patient, kind, knowledgeable, energetic and compassionate. They communicate with families so well regarding a child's individual needs and progress. Ms. Kelli, Ms. Kelly and Ms. Ali take the time to get to know each child. They understand how that child learns best and what that child needs (especially when they are trying to tackle their big emotions). They model appropriate behavior in a gentle and empathetic way. While doing all this, they still put effort into knowing what is happening in the students' lives outside of school. They truly feel like an extension of the family.
When my daughter would walk up the stairs to school, excitedly telling her teacher what she did or what she loves to do, I knew she was walking into a bright, fun and caring environment that not only promoted her academic growth but emotional and social growth as well. She would be learning independence, socialization skills and beginning to form her identity all while tackling big feelings.
I also knew that she was surrounded by genuinely kind people that wanted the best for her and were always available with a kind word or a much needed hug and as I would drive away, I knew there was no other place she ought to be.

We have been part of the Learning Tree family for 5 years and have loved every minute of it. We felt welcome at the Learning Tree from the moment we visited with our oldest. For us, a loving and caring environment was a top priority. Ms. Kelli, Ms. Kelly, and Ms. Ali care about every child in their care. They know them as people not just students. They know their favorite things, their favorite people, and their favorite hobbies. They respond to behavior challenges with compassion and support so children learn. They cultivate the social, and emotional growth of their students while also enabling them to make tremendous progress academically.
I will never forget the support we all got arriving for my son's first day of school just one day after his baby sister was born. Two huge milestones all at once for him and Learning Tree gave him (and me) everything he (we) needed.
My daughter, who is always attached to me, never, and I mean never, hesitated to walk confidently into the Learning Tree. It was the one place where she consistently felt safe to be away from me.
We are so grateful to the Learning Tree and especially Ms. Kelli, Ms. Kelly, and Ms. Ali for what they gave our kids at such a critical stage in their development. |

Words cannot being to express what an amazing experience the Learning Tree has been for my twins. After going to another school in Georgetown that we did not like, we found this gem of a preschool.
Ms. Kelli, Ms. Kelly, and Ms. Ali not only teach the kids basic fundamentals, but they also teach them how to be respectful and good kids. You can tell that all three teachers care very deeply about every one of those kids, and I will be forever grateful for this experience.
My daughter has cerebral palsy and they worked with her to help her "lefty" whenever possible. They also allowed her OT to come in to do some therapy. My son had a bit of a rough patch with his behavior. Ms. Kelli, Ms. Kelly, and Ms. Ali did not give up on him, only believed in him harder. Like I said, the care from these teachers go unmatched. I cannot thank them enough for what they did for my twins.

The learning tree preschool has served our family since 2019, when our son Was 2.5 years old. Since that first day We felt completely at ease knowing that our son was in the best of hands. Learning tree preschool is a close knit family network that pays close attention to each child’s individual needs. Our son was in EArly intervention, and Miss. Kelli and Miss Kelly were completely supportive in helping Our son through his speech and fine motor delay. Because of our positive experience we Now have our daughter at the preschool and she is excelling beautifully. Miss. Kelli and Miss. Kelly are extremely supportive and provide exceptional care and attention to our children. They both spend one on one time helping students who may need extra help. The kids come home with so many lovely projects and books that they have created on a weekly basis- the Learning Tree also offers a very structured learning environment - key to a preschool. We are so lucky to have The Learning Tree be a part of our family!

Our experience at Learning Tree Preschool has been incredible. Our son has shown growth in his confidence, social skills, and academic work. We are thrilled with the diverse and fun curriculum. There are awesome projects sent home and at the end of the school year, there is a journal, among many other pieces of work, that highlight the growth and learning progression. It is obvious how well the teachers know and work within each child’s skill level to help learning occur at all stages. As a parent there is nothing more comforting than to send your child to a safe, engaging, and welcoming environment that fosters all important areas of development. Our younger son will join his brother this fall at Learning Tree, and we could not be happier to have them both there. |

I love seeing how happy my daughter is at the Learning Tree Preschool. She is so excited to go to school and be with her friends, and she absolutely adores Miss Kelli and Miss Kelly. When choosing a preschool it was important to us that there was both structured learning and free play. My daughter loves her daily routine, which involves circle time, play, art projects, structured learning and snack/lunch time. The kids do so many fun projects and learning activities – I can’t believe how many art projects my daughter comes home with, and she is so proud of all of them! They also put on several holiday shows and an end of year show, which are so fun for the kids and their families! I cannot express enough gratitude to Miss Kelli and Miss Kelly in helping influence my daughter in such a loving and positive environment. You can really see that attention is given to each child, and I’m certainly grateful that the teachers take one on one time with my daughter to help her develop skills, such as writing letters and numbers, counting, cutting, etc. in preparation for the kindergarten classroom. We also love the weekly newsletters detailing all of the week’s activities and events. I am confident that my daughter is getting the best preschool experience at the Learning Tree, and I’m looking forward to sending my son there next year. |

Three years ago, I started on the journey of visiting area preschools to find the best fit for my daughter. Being an educator myself, I had a mental list of what I was looking for in a preschool -- warm, inviting, and child-centered with a focus on play and social skills. I visited and toured many area preschools --- but something was always missing -- they either felt too busy, too focused on academics, or too business-like. I was starting to worry I wouldn't find the right fit --that is until an old high school friend recommended Learning Tree Preschool to me.
The moment I went for my visit and met Kelli Webster, I knew Learning Tree was it! Her warm smile and enthusiasm while meeting me and my daughter, Hannah, I knew this was the place for us. My daughter was a very shy 2.9 year old with a speech and gross motor delay. Under Miss Kelli and "Other Miss Kelly's" (as Hannah calls them) care, my daughter has BLOSSOMED into an outgoing and confident 5 year old who LOVES learning, school, and making new friends.
Learning Tree's curriculum is child-centered, engaging, and creative. Each activity is carefully planned so that their little learners get a lot of practice and exposure to all of the necessary and essential pre-writing, pre-literacy, and early mathematical skills.
The seasonal projects that they complete are amazing -- and are my absolute favorite! I have kept them all and decorate my house for all of the special holidays! Having Hannah's projects around the house every year brings a smile to my face. Miss Kelli and Miss Kelly also take the time to help the children make "special gifts" -- the ones that will be kept forever and passed on when my children venture out on their own. |

I can’t say enough about how much we love the Learning Tree. When we were looking for a preschool, it was a daunting task as we wanted a place that was nurturing and warm but we also needed it to be structured enough and up for the challenge of taking on three “excitable” triplet boys. We visited several preschools in the area but after touring the Learning Tree, we immediately knew it was the right fit. They do so many amazing art and learning projects and the holiday shows they have the kids put on are the absolute best!
The Learning Tree has provided a safe, caring and fun environment that has really allowed my boys to thrive. My three are smiling and laughing from the moment they are greeted at drop off to the moment they are brought to the car at pick up. You can really see the time and effort that is spent planning age appropriate lessons and activities. My boys absolutely love their days at school.
Additionally, their teachers Ms. Kelli and Ms. Kelly are amazing; they are so welcoming and have such a great presence around the kids and parents alike that I was at ease from the very first day. I always feel like they work with my boys and all of the kids as individuals, that I’m well informed (through daily updates and the weekly newsletter) and that they are accessible. This school is so much more than just a preschool, it truly is a family.
