The Presbyterian Church of Basking Ridge

Founded in 1982 by the Education Council of the Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church, the Tree House serves the community by offering loving full-day and half-day child care programs for children ages 2-1/2 to 5.

Mission:
Throughout 25 years of operation, the mission of the Tree House Child Caring Center has remained the same: to provide a quality day care and preschool that encourages the social development and individual potential of each child.

Philosophy:
The Tree House curriculum is built upon the philosophy that children learn best by doing. Learning isn't accomplished simply by repeating what someone else says. It requires active participation, thinking and experimentation to see how things work firsthand. We strive to develop self-assuredness in children and to teach them the skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. The foundations we set today will form the foundation for their academic learning in years to come.

Class Size:
The experienced staff guides and encourages children through carefully planned activities that allow them to develop at their own ideal rate. Small class sizes (ratio 1:6 or 1:8) help foster educational and social development in a setting where the children feel safe to learn and grow.

Who can Attend?
All children ages 2 1/2 - 5 are welcome to attend The Tree House, regardless of religious beliefs or affiliation.
