OUR STORY

The idea of Almond Tree was conceived by parents who understand the peace of mind from knowing one’s child is safe with nurturing individuals who care for and provide experiences that promote their growth and development.  In 2001, Almond Tree was birthed- and has evolved into a deeply nurturing learning space that supports children’s holistic development and provides a satisfying experience to children, families and staff.

OUR MISSION

Our commitment to families is to create a safe, joyful environment where children thrive through play and learning supported by kind, nurturing, creative caregivers-educators who work in close partnership with parents to promote children’s growth and development. We bring our mission to life by: 

• Providing responsive, play-based, hands-on learning experiences that support each child’s individual journey.
• Building a dedicated team of passionate, well-trained caregivers-educators who care for the whole child.
• Fostering open, consistent communication with parents to cultivate strong, collaborative partnerships in every step of a child’s development.​​ ​

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe children thrive when supported by responsive caregivers-educators in a safe, cheerful environment that promotes growth, confidence, and success. We live this philosophy by:

• Building Relationships: greeting each child warmly, listening actively and showing  empathy.
• Fostering Play & Exploration: encouraging curiosity through play and hands-on experiences, tailored to each child’s interests, needs and pace.  
• Modeling Positive Behavior: demonstrating kindness, respect, and teaching children how to express and manage feelings.
