Programs - Kindergarten Enrichment
Whether your child attends morning or afternoon kindergarten; public or private school, our Kindergarten Enrichment Program offers a variety of care options for your child.
Communication
Each classroom has a Parent Information Board. Posted on this board are lesson plans, menus, information on upcoming events, etc. Some teachers also develop and send home a monthly newsletter about upcoming class projects, past events, etc.
Bus Transportation
Bus transportation to and from your child's school is available during the school year. All of our bus drivers hold a Michigan Chauffeurs License and have been trained in proper vehicle safety. All of our vehicles are equipped with first aid kits and cell phones. Your child's school schedule and emergency card are always carried when picking up or dropping off your child. At the beginning of the school year our drivers communicate with your child's school to designate a safe and appropriate pick up and drop off area for children attending The Learning Tree.
