About
Learning Tree Preschool offers activities such as art projects, science experiments, group play, storytelling, and free play. Children take part in events like Trunk or Treat, an Art Show with a display of their art from throughout the year, and a Trike - A - Thon where they bring wagons, trikes, bicycles, or scooters to drive around a racetrack and each child receives a medal. Daily routines include working on shapes, color, number, and letter recognition, early reading, writing exercises, science exploration, math concepts, gross motor time, story time, time in different centers, snacks, lunchtime, and nap/rest time, along with lots of games, bounce houses, and other fun activities at certain events.

Learning Tree Preschool has provided early childhood education to the community for over 40 years. It was established by First United Methodist Church as a nurturing ministry to families, with a goal to serve an interdenominational community. The mission at Learning Tree Preschool is to create an atmosphere in which children can develop curiosity, independence, self-confidence, and social skills through teacher-directed and self-initiated activities using an age-appropriate curriculum and close family/child/teacher interaction. Classes are grouped together by age, with a focus on socialization, language development, fine and gross motor skills, and sensory exploration in Walking 1's to 4 years, and a stated goal in PreKindergarten to make sure every child is kindergarten ready. Learning Tree Preschool offers many events throughout the year to families and the community, including Trunk or Treat and the Art Show, which serves as a fundraiser for the Love-A-Child Scholarship.
Learning Tree Preschool was established by First United Methodist Church, whose facilities include spaces such as the Blue Room, Library, offices, chapel, multi-purpose room, and an educational wing. First United Methodist Church offers a large library of Christian-oriented books, audiobooks, videos, and magazines that is open to everyone. The church also houses the Moller Opus 8406 “Golden Memorial” Pipe Organ, which celebrated its 60th birthday in 2022 and was a gift from the Walter Golden family in 1952.
The leadership team connected with Learning Tree Preschool includes Co-Directors Gayle Kelley and Teresa Nickerson and Administrative Assistant Trish Garrett. Additional church leadership includes Senior Pastor Howard Boles, Associate Pastor Mackenzie Phillips, Business Administrator Lora Miller, Administrative Assistant Rachel Eddins, Music Director Caio Lopes, Organist Laura Bottei, Bell Choir Director Joyce Crowder, and Custodian/Maintenance Supervisor Demaris Muniz.
