Tree Hill Learning Center includes locations referred to as Tree Hill Camas and Tree Hill Vancouver, with a second Vancouver location that opened in October 2020 and was fully enrolled within six months. The program’s mission states that it strives to cultivate a community that puts the children in its care first, while also supporting their families and staff, with a goal of enabling each child to have fun, explore, and express their individuality while providing a solid foundation for future academic success. The mission also states that the community values kindness and respect for each other, the school, the environment, and the world.

In community involvement, Dana serves on the board for the Washington State Childcare Center Association, where she engages in advocacy and legislative efforts to uplift the childcare sector across the state. Dana also founded the Tree Hill Family Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides scholarships for Clark County high school students and current staff who are pursuing an associate degree in early childhood education.
