Children are lifelong learners. We want your children to grow into individuals who love learning. We are conscious of each of the children’s learning styles. This ensures that children are learning in their own way and in their own time which makes learning fulfilling instead of “work”. Our teachers encourage children to respect diversity, responsibility, problem solving, develop motor skills, foster a positive identity and express creativity.

Testimonials


Megan Gasidlo

The center is one of the smaller centers but I really enjoy the family feel of "The Learning Tree" The teachers are all wonderful and truly love the children. The managers are wonderful and are very helpful. I love that the kids go outside everyday is reasonable and that their food is healthy and organic. It is worth every penny!

My family has been with the learning tree for 1.5 years. In that time we have had experience in almost all of the class rooms. All of the teachers we have been with have been great. They are caring and treat our children like family. My son loves going to "school" and has made the greatest friends. He has also learned a lot too. The teachers take education very seriously and make sure the children are getting everything they need. My daughter starts tomorrow and I have no worries, I know she will be in good hands.

It has been great being a part of The Learning Tree family for the last 4 1/2 years. TLT is always striving to meet families needs and incorporate new thinking, curriculum and ways to educate the children. Teachers often take time out of their weekends to particpate in classes to benefit the TLT kids. One of my favorite things about TLT is the importance of healthy and well-balanced meals and snacks, including serving mostly organic foods. Often that is what I brag most about to friends. Overall The Learning Tree is a place you can send your kids and have the confidence to know they are well cared for, thoughtfully fed and inspired to learn.

Nice facility.

The Learning Tree is like a home away from home for my kids. There are some days they don't want to leave, they are happy and showing me what they've learned everyday. Their teachers clearly care about the kids experience, growth and potential; they go the extra mile to communicate with me, share highlights and provide in-depth assessments of their progress. I go to work everyday knowing that my kids are in a safe and supportive environment, I have nothing but great things to say about this TLT.


Michelle Stock

Everyone at South Lyon Learning Tree is very nice, very focused on providing a great experience for our kids and they have a great program geared toward helping our kids become interested learners. Some of the things they are doing to better our kids lives include serving organic foods (family style), using green cleaning supplies and trying to make the classrooms more like home.

My son has been a student in the Pre-K class since September and he/we already feel like we have been part of TLT for years. Great teachers and leadership. My son is making great friends and gaining the social skills we were wanting for him, in the classroom setting (was previously in a home day care with 6 or less children). He loves going to school too! That's a huge plus!

The staff are very personable and seem to care about and know each child individually. I like that the center is flexible with hours, as I work a rotating schedule that changes every week. The center also holds special events are fun-parents night out, holidays.

The staff is professional and very easy to get along with, not to mention courteous.

I would say that Miss.Kathy and Miss. Katie in the toddler room are two very brilliant women. These ladies are terrific with kids and make my daughter smile no matter the case. My daughter was 18 months old when we started and in one week she could wash her hands and dry them all by herself! I love The Learning Tree in South Lyon and would reccomend it no matter what!

My daughter attended The Learning Tree from the age of 15 months until she started school. We loved them! They were always coming up with new ideas to improve the program. My daughter learned so much while she was there. Everyone was so caring too. They also have an awesome summer camp!

My son has a really hard time at drop off and they really make me feel at ease and help take him mind off things. I also really love the food options and all natural approach.

Our daughter really enjoys the activities at the learning tree. Everyday she is actively engaged in a wide range of fun activities which promote all areas of development. Since her transition to the learning tree we have seen significant advancement in her communication. She also becomes more and more independant as she learns to cleanup after herself, say please and thank you and to be helpful. Not only are the activities and programs wonderful but the food is also extraordinary. All organic healthy food is served. Our family is a big fan of the learning tree and all of the caring teachers and staff.

I have been so impressed with the South Lyon Learning Tree. THe staff is so caring and inviting. Paula and Erica in the office make you feel like family every time you walk through the doors. Prior to coming to the Learning Tree I struggled to get my daughter to her inhome daycare, she never wanted to go. Once my daughter started the learning tree she has not looked back!! Thanks Learning Tree Family for all you do!

One of the best experiences we have had with child care. We wish it was closer to our new home we would definitely come back. As with any place things change our experiences were 2008-2011.

The staff really cares about the children and they do everything they can to keep the children happy, safe, and entertained. As hard as it was to have to send my baby to day care, I am happy that he gets to experience his time away form home at The Learning Tree.

The Learning Tree-South Lyon is a wonderful facility, and I would recommend it to any parent looking for quality child care. I feel that my child learns so much while he is there, and that the teachers do an excellent job of planning lessons and activities that are not only educational, but also fun. The classrooms are structured for learning, but also flexible and encourage the children to discover, be interactive, and be creative. Some of the most impressive aspects of the center are that they serve all freshly prepared and organic foods, create a loving environment with structured learning and play, and encourage creativity and development. Another great aspect to the center is that they are very flexible when it comes to setting your child's schedule. They offer both part-time and full-time care. They always do their best to accommodate any schedule changes that may arise, which is important for parents that may have changing work schedules.

The Learning Tree is great! My kids have been going there for over 2.5 years and they love it.


verified current parent

The staff is wonderful, so friendly and helpful. It amazes me how they know every single child's name. The way they teach the little ones has been so well thought out from learning manners at the table eating (not to mention the great organic food) to all the educational programs. I highly recommend the Learning Tree, your children will love going and you will feel confident in the care your children are receiving.

TLE is a very caring environment for our child. They have a structured and effective learning schedule. We moved our son from another local Day care because they had a high staff turnover rate. Not at TLE, their staff actually wants to stay there. It has been a great choice for our son. Adjustment was very easy. Excellent care.

We love The Learning Tree! The teachers are great with the kids and always willing to work with parents regardless of the situation. They are true professionals who love what they do.

My daughter, Sophie, was at the Learning Tree for 5 years. She loved going there and I often had to coax her to come home because she was having so much fun! All of the staff are professional but warm and caring to the kids going there for care. Sophie loved going to Summer Camp. We are sad that she is now too old to go there! I would recommend the Learning Tree for all age levels. The staff are very good at teaching and encourage the kids to do their best and still have fun learning new things. Thanks for taking excellent care of Sophie all these years. Dayna Yeung
