  We've been sending our kids here since the beginning of 2026 and we are extremely happy with the school. I feel like my 2.5 year old comes home smarter every day he's there. My infant seems exceptionally happy here. The teachers there are absolutely WONDERFUL. They are very caring and get to know the kids & accommodate their specific needs and development. And it blows my mind how the administrators, Michelle and Shelly, manage to remember *EVERYONE*. It's amazing and it really feels like they know us on a personal level. The pricing is extremely affordable when you compare to a lot of the other schools/learning centers in the area. In fact, they are the lowest price we found in the area, but we feel like we're getting so much better quality and value (especially versus the well-known national chain). Communication between parents & staff is very clear & consistent. We feel like we are constantly informed of what's going on, which is great! Choosing a place to send your kids for 8+ hours a day is a real tough decision as a parent, both for your sanity & your finances. The Learning Tree really puts my mind at ease in every area I was worried about as a parent while going through the process of choosing a school for my kids.

  We absolutely love the Learning Tree-West! My family and I were looking for somewhere new during the pandemic and the Learning Tree has been such a great experience for my children. We had been recommended to go there by so many friends and colleagues and they were right! The staff is so kind and supportive and we know our kids are getting great care. We few so lucky to be there!

  As a paranoid, nervous mom, i am happy to have found a center that works for us. We have been enrolled at a few centers in the area, but this by far exceeds are expectations. Communication is very important to me, especially since I am working and I am unaware of how my children are doing. We have a 2 and 5 year old. I have been a stay at home mom on/off for two years. Finding a center that fits my needs as a mom is tough. If I have any concerns, I send a message through the tadpoles app and I get a response within an hour. My kids are happy to be there and the teachers are smiling and happy as well. I love how easy going it feels. We are thankful for the learning tree and how they have made the transition into daycare so easy for my family. Highly recommend

  The Learning Tree is a wonderful day care center! My husband and I feel at ease knowing that our children are not only well taken care of, but also loved. The engaging activities, strong teacher/student relationships, and excellent parent/teacher communication are a few things our family appreciates about the center. We also value the care that the administration takes in making sure the center is safe, clean, and welcoming.
