The Learning Tree Preschool

The Learning Tree Preschool Voted #1 Preschool in Collinsville and metro surrounding area by voters of the Suburban Journals and the St. Louis Post Dispatch

The Learning Tree was established in 1976 as a community outreach mission by St. John Evangelical United Church of Christ. It serves parents who want to offer their children experiences in a Christian environment that will:

Stimulate creativity and self-expression
Develop academic concepts and skills
Foster communication and language development
Nurture self-confidence and

social skills
Emphasize gross motor skills appropriate for the development
of three-, four-, and five-year-olds. Our Philosophy
We believe that childhood is a happy time to be enjoyed and cherished. We believe that communication and cooperation between school and home
is essential if we are to create an environment conducive to learning. We believe in the uniqueness of individuals and consider each child
in developing programs to serve them. We believe that by offering quality learning experiences, our children
can develop an enthusiasm for life and learning. We believe that a child's work is play, play with a purpose.
