Tree of Life is SO much more than a center. ❤️ I always say we’re the perfect middle ground between a family child care and a big center.

We’re big enough to have all the fun and opportunities of a center, but small enough that we really KNOW our families. We’re all so close, and that makes such a difference.

Our own kids are here. We get to watch families grow, welcome new siblings, and even welcome babies of our own Tree of Life staff. It really is a little family, and the relationships we build along the way mean SO much to us.

And honestly, that’s what makes saying goodbye so hard. 😭 Even when we know they’re ready for their next big adventure, it’s still hard to see them go. The good thing is, we know we’ll still get to see them grow, just from a little farther away. ❤️

We truly cannot say enough nice things about this family that we have had the absolute pleasure of loving for so many years. Siobhan has seriously been one of the MVPs of Tree of Life. She has ALWAYS been there to help, whether it was fixing a handrail, baking cupcakes, volunteering, bringing up a snack order, helping with hair, or just jumping in wherever she was needed. She has always found a way to help, and we are so grateful for all the love and support she has given our center over the years.

We’ve also had the BEST time watching the Ransford kids grow. We’ve watched them move from one classroom to another, grow into their little personalities, and now get ready to head off to school.

And then they went and made us a HANDMADE gift. Something made by their own little hands that we will absolutely cherish for years to come.

These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do. The relationships, the memories, the families who become part of our family… THAT is Tree of Life.

We’re going to miss you guys SO much, but we know this isn’t really goodbye. Once you’re Tree of Life, you’re always Tree of Life. ❤️🌳
