Your child's health is our top priority

A Fresh, Organic Menu Keeps Children Fueled

The center has full time chefs on site preparing homemade meals and snacks with fresh, seasonal ingredients. We put a lot of thought into our menus so that children learn to love real, pure foods. Busy parents are at ease knowing their child is eating only the healthiest foods while in our care.

Highly Trained Educators Guide Your Child's Learning

We implement a proven preschool curriculum with real resources and training. Highscope Curriculum is research-based and focuses on active learning and teachers scaffolding childrens’ thoughts and ideas. We teach skills to develop problem-solving and conflict resolution in a loving child care environment.

Children "Go-Green" With An Eco-Friendly Facility

Teachers are passionate about being green! From little to no plastics inside our daycare classrooms, cloth napkins and real dishes, a full garden, green cleaning products (Force of Nature), ZONO sanitization systems, and Young Living essential oil diffusers, our list of eco-friendly features and benefits goes on and on.

INTERACTIVE PARENT DAILY REPORTS

Teachers provide you real time updates on your child’s day. Parents can receive Procare updates via a mobile app or by email. The best part of Procare is you’ll get at least one photo of your child every day, so you can see what your child is learning.

Teachers are always so nice...

Absolutely love The Learning Tree! Teachers are always so nice and really seem to care about the kids in their classroom. My daughter’s teachers are Jen, Rachelle, and occasionally Monica and we love all three of them. They have an awesome app so you know what activities they did and they send pictures as well. The entire staff is just so kind and caring and that’s what really makes this center stand out. I never feel uneasy about leaving my daughter with them.

I love hearing about all they did that day...

Everyone at The Learning Tree has been wonderful! We have been here for 4 years, with 2 kids and have loved all of our teachers in each age group/room. Ms. Desiree in the Transitional Preschool room is patient, kind, loving, friendly, fun and a great teacher. My son has learned so much from being in her classroom. I love hearing about all they did that day at pick-up. They offer a variety of meals and snacks each week and have great communication with parents. I am so glad we chose The Learning Tree as our daycare/preschool!

I cannot say enough about the curriculum...

Learning Tree has been such a wonderful foundation to our daughter’s education. The curriculum and activities they provide day-to-day and throughout the year is absolutely wonderful. I cannot say enough great things about the high scope curriculum. I know that both her intellectual and emotional needs are being met. I love that she is enjoying a well-balanced menu with a variety of options. Also, I love that they subscribe to the KidReports app, I get real time info on her daily activities and can see pictures while I am at work.

My daughter’s days are full of play...

My daughter has been at The Learning Tree West for seven months now. She is so excited to go to school every morning. Her days are full of play, learning and fun with age appropriate, engaging activities. The center provides breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout the day. I also appreciate the app updates throughout the day, the friendliness of the office staff and the overall cleanliness of the building. Overall, I’m very grateful to have my daughter at The Learning Tree and in the care of some amazing infant teachers each day.

Her teachers are so informative and loving...

Being a first time mom, I was extremely nervous about sending our daughter to daycare. From day one, her teachers have been SO informative and loving. Specifically, Ms. Bailey and Ms. Paula. They send updates/pictures all day long through the app and also share a detailed lesson plan for the week! They are so receptive of our requests and happily give us daily updates. My husband and I could not be happier with our decision to entrust The Learning Tree West.

Daily structure with lesson plans is fantastic...

We absolutely LOVE The Learning Tree West! After our tour we knew this was the right fit for our family. They go above and beyond in their cleaning practices and nutritional meals/snacks. Their daily structure with their lesson plans has been fantastic for our toddler. What she has learned in her TPS classroom is absolutely incredible. We are now excited for her new journey in preschool. Enrolling our daughter into their program is the best decision we have made for her start to school.

He is already speaking in full sentences...

The Learning Tree North has been an amazing experience for my son. Every morning when I drop him off, he is always welcomed with open arms. He is already speaking in full sentences and has so much fun at school. I know now that having him in Ms. Noreen’s class is giving him his best chance and teaching him the skills that I wouldn’t fully be able to teach him on my own. I am grateful for the women that work so hard to take care of our future generation.

They always welcome him with a big smile...

Our son Francesco started at the Learning Tree North last April in the toddler 2 classroom. This is the first time in a childcare for him and, since the beginning, Ms Noreen and Ms A’Naya have been nothing but great with him. We are grateful to have them caring for Francesco. They always welcome him with a big smile and they make our drop-offs very easy. We already noticed a lot of development improvements since April. We would recommend Learning Tree to other parents.

The teachers have been absolutely wonderful...

The teachers have been absolutely wonderful and the attention our son is getting makes us feel better about going to work everyday. Learning Tree North has different activities planned every day that helps him grow, learn and develop. Each week there is a different "theme" which we absolutely love. I love the Kid Reports app and can see what he is doing throughout the day. I would highly recommend Learning Tree North to all of my family and friends and hope to see the center continue to run a successful and loveable business.

Teachers have been helping our children...

My children have been attending the The Learning Tree in South Lyon for about 8 months. All the teachers have been helping our children learn and grow with fun and engaging activities and lesson plans. We love the projects that come home and the activities they do that include the families as well! We feel our children are loved by the teachers and they love the food too that is prepared by Miss Lisa! Thank you to The Learning Tree staff for all that you do!

It is clean, staff is friendly and communicates...

We've been here for 6 months now and I love it here. It is clean, staff is friendly and communicates all day via app. I am sent photos, updates etc! They serve only organic food and have a splash pad area outside. The children stay separated by age, even outside. They have daily activities that change every day, and they are active all day! I have recommended this place to multiple people, because I am truly impressed with the quality of care and love that goes toward each child. Thank you Learning Tree for keeping me at ease all day.

The teachers have been there for us daily...

We have nothing but good things to say about the staff and education/care they have recieved. The teachers have been there for us daily with a smile. Our daughter's main teacher, Abby, is "my favorite", and our daughter often is excited to see her and tell her about her adventures and good behavior. We credit Abby for her love of books, early reading and writing skills, and kindness with her peers. Our son's main teacher, "my Tay Tay", rolls with all he can throw at her. He too has developed a love of books and learning.

Great cuticular activities for each age...

Highly recommend!!! Menu allows my picky kiddo to try healthy new choices! Great cuticular activities for each age. Absolute trust, being away from our children can be stressful and they make it look easy. I am a past employee and currently have a child enrolled. I truly support the level of care provided. It’s not just a daycare, she is excited to go to “school” everyday!

We love the lesson plans, daily photos...

Our overall experience has been wonderful from the very beginning. We appreciate the clear communication, organization, transparency, and friendliness from the co-directors. And we feel so at ease knowing our daughter is in such good hands with the Infant Room teachers. And their dedication and openness to collaborate with us on the best care for our girl has been tremendously appreciated. We love the lesson plans, daily photos of our girl, and the egg-free/nut-free menu.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful...

I have only had excellent experiences at learning tree. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The classrooms are clean and have lots of activity stations for the kids. They provide great meals and also have a huge playground with lots of room for the kids to run and play. The teachers are great and invest a lot of time into the kids. My kids are learning something new every day.
