At Learning Tree Academy, we believe that children begin discovering the world from their earliest days, and no child is too young to start learning. With this as our foundation, we have designed age-appropriate curricula to stimulate each child’s cognitive, motor, social, and communicative development.
At our daycare in Wood-Ridge, we use specifically-designed progress reports starting in our preschool classroom to track each child’s development and learning over time. These reports help our teachers identify each child’s strengths and areas where the child may need more support. Families receive these progress reports twice a year, at the end of each semester, so they can stay informed of their child’s achievements and progress. This communication helps children receive the consistent support they need from both home and school.
For daily communication and progress tracking, we use the Procare App to share photos and real-time updates. This app allows us to communicate information about diaper/potty times, sleep times, moods, daily activities, and more!
Our classrooms are led by highly educated and experienced teachers with a passion for early childhood education and helping children develop a lifelong love of learning.
It takes an incredible amount of trust to let someone care for your child, and at Learning Tree Academy, we work hard to earn that trust. Our facility is equipped with 24/7 video surveillance, a secure entry system, and advanced air purification systems so you can feel confident your children are safe, healthy, and well cared for.
Our classrooms follow The Creative Curriculum®, a nationally recognized, research-based curriculum that emphasizes learning through play and focuses on the development of the whole child - socially, emotionally, physically, and academically.
"Learning Tree Academy has been simply Amazing. My daughter attended and my son still does. They are absolutely terrific with skilled teachers that have both patience and kindness. I would give more than 5 stars if google would let me. I would recommend this daycare to any parent and would enroll my kids again if I could!!!!!"
"It’s difficult to describe the anxiety I had when sending my son to daycare for the first time, but Lori and her team quickly demonstrated that I had nothing to be afraid of. In addition to the amazing care they offer your child, Learning Tree Academy offers a comprehensive curriculum ranging from letters and numbers to feelings and how to properly express them. I am often amazed by how much my son has grown in every aspect during his time at Learning Tree. I cannot recommend this daycare enough!"
"My daughter has been attending for a little over a year now and since the beginning LTA has been nothing less than excellent! I know my child is SAFE and well taken care of by amazing teachers and would highly recommend LTA to anyone who is looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their child."
