Call Directions Website

A ministry of First United Methodist Church in Georgetown, Texas.

The Learning Tree bases its program on the philosophy that children learn through
active involvement with their environment. We strive to provide experiences in
cooperation with parents that will enable the child to have a positive self-concept;
to be accepting of others; to learn to express him / herself in many ways; to be
curious; to love learning; and to feel loved and secure.

A little hands-on learning as we get ready for germ season! 🧼🫧

Our friends got to see what happens when soap meets “germs,” and those little faces watching them scatter say it all. It was such a fun way to help them understand why washing our hands matters, especially as we head into the season of all the sniffles and coughs.

Learning, exploring, and building healthy habits together. 💛

A little glimpse into another week at The Learning Tree. 🌳

So much of preschool happens in the small, everyday moments. Playing alongside friends, trying something new, creating, exploring, laughing, and growing a little more confident each day.

We love watching friendships form and seeing our classrooms grow into a community where children learn how to work together, care for one another, solve problems, and feel like they belong.

And sometimes the very best part of the week is simply seeing how much joy they find in being here.

Preschool is serious business… it just doesn’t always look very serious.

This week our classrooms were full of little hands painting, experimenting, creating, building, balancing, drawing, exploring, and working together.

Behind all that colorful mess is so much learning—fine and gross motor skills, problem solving, creativity, language, confidence, friendships, and the freedom to wonder “what happens if I do THIS?”

We love getting to give our students a place where they can learn with their whole bodies, make a little mess, take chances, and discover just how capable they are.

And judging by these pictures… a very good week was had at The Learning Tree.

The 3s spent the first part of playground time yesterday completely captivated by the City of Georgetown crew removing a sign! 🚧

They watched as the crew pressure-washed away the dirt to uncover the concrete, used a giant wet/dry vacuum to clean everything up, and then brought out a chipping hammer to break apart the concrete. The children even cheered when the sign finally came out! 🎉

The sweetest part was when one of the employees stopped what he was doing to answer their questions and explain the whole process. We love when an ordinary moment turns into an unexpected learning experience! 💛

What a wonderful first week of school! 🍎✏️

It was so nice to welcome everyone back and see our classrooms filled with smiling faces, laughter, learning, and lots of fun. Our students and teachers had such a successful first week, and we are incredibly proud of how well everyone settled into their new routines!

Thank you to our amazing families and staff for helping us start the school year on such a positive note. We are so excited for everything this year has in store!

We can’t believe the first day of school is TOMORROW!

Our staff has worked so hard during In-Service getting classrooms ready, preparing for the year ahead, and making sure everything is ready to welcome our students back. We also made time for a little team building with a petting zoo, which was definitely a highlight of the week!

It was so nice seeing so many of our families at Meet the Teacher! Seeing familiar faces, meeting new families, and watching our students explore their classrooms made us even more excited to get this school year started.

We are so thankful for the time, energy, and love our teachers and staff have poured into preparing for this year, and we are READY for tomorrow!

Here’s to a year full of learning, laughter, friendships, growth, and so many sweet memories.

See you in the morning!

We believe that when teachers grow, children thrive.

Our Learning Tree team spent the last two days at the Committed to Kids Conference learning from incredible speakers, gathering fresh ideas, and investing in the children and families we are blessed to serve.

As we prepare for a new school year, we’re excited to bring everything we’ve learned back into our classrooms. Thank you for trusting us with your little ones. We can’t wait to welcome both new and returning families and make this our best year at the Tree yet!

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible teachers who pour so much love, patience, creativity, and care into our little learners each day.

At The Learning Tree, we are endlessly thankful for the teachers who help children feel safe, confident, curious, and deeply loved.

And as Mother’s Day approaches this weekend, we’re also celebrating all the moms, grandmothers, caregivers, and mother figures who partner with us in raising these sweet children.

Thank you for trusting us with your little ones each day. We are so grateful for our Learning Tree families and staff.

We can’t wait to share it with you!

We have just a few spots remaining in our Bridge to Kindergarten class for the upcoming school year!

All other classes are currently full.

Our Bridge to Kindergarten program is designed for children who have completed Pre-K but would benefit from an extra year to grow in confidence, social skills, and school readiness before heading into kindergarten.

If you have a child who has completed Pre-K and are interested in learning more about this program, we would love to connect with you. Please reach out to our office for more information!
