For nearly three decades, Treehouse Learning has been a cornerstone of Early Education in Boulder County, providing a private, locally owned, and family-run environment for children to thrive. Located on 1.25 acres at 95th and Baseline, our facility was designed specifically with families in mind, featuring classrooms that radiate from a sun-drenched center common room and expansive natural grass playgrounds.
A Foundation Built on Relationships
At the heart of our mission is the understanding that positive early childhood experiences occur within the context of safe and secure caregiving relationships. We are committed to maintaining a knowledgeable, responsive teaching staff that views early childhood education as a dedicated profession. By focusing on interpersonal neurobiology, we ensure that human-to-human interactions remain the primary catalyst for healthy social-emotional maturation.
Our Holistic Curriculum Synthesis
Treehouse Learning offers high-quality Play-Based Childcare in Boulder County that is comprehensive and purposeful. Our curriculum is a sophisticated synthesis of several respected educational traditions:
- Montessori Influence: We respect each child’s individual learning style, providing opportunities for self-directed, purposeful activities that serve as an “aid to life”.
- Reggio Emilia Inspiration: We recognize children as active participants in their learning, viewing our intentionally prepared environments—both indoors and outdoors—as the “third teacher”.
- Vygotsky & Scaffolding: Our skilled educators facilitate learning through the “Zone of Proximal Development,” helping children bridge the gap between what they can do independently and what they can achieve with guidance.
Academic Preparation and the “Whole Child”
Our approach to Daycare in Boulder County encompasses the integrated development of the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. We utilize research-based programs such as:
- Social-Emotional Excellence: We incorporate the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence’s RULER curriculum, teaching children to notice and name their feelings.
- Literacy and STEM: From infancy through kindergarten, children are exposed to early literacy, math, and science through interactive, experiential activities.
- The Science of Reading: We balance phonics-based decoding skills with rich language acquisition to ensure children can make true meaning of written materials.
Prepared for the Future
When children graduate from Treehouse Learning, they are distinguished by strong academic skills, personal confidence, and a genuine love of learning. By identifying “windows of opportunity” for optimal learning in language, reasoning, and social skills, we partner with families to build a lifelong foundation for thriving children.
