What Parents Say
The Tree Hut Child Center receives mixed reviews with strong praise for staff compassion and curriculum quality, but significant concerns about management decisions and behavioral issue handling. Parents consistently highlight the caring nature of teachers and positive child development, though some report children were dismissed without warning due to behavior management challenges.
Staff are amazing. Jill the lady running it not so much. My son went here for 3 years. From the youngest room all the way to sunbeam. He's an only child and very respectful at home. He developed some very bad tendencies from there and only acted like that there. I cannot parent from work, and they were unable to manage him. Well they kicked him out with zero warning to us at all. Left our family in a very rough situation. The teachers are amazing though! They truly loved my son. And he loved them. It crushed my 4 year old to tell him he'll never see them again. He's now in a different school doing amazing. They have a much more structured system that seems to work alot better with my child. Under current management I do not recommend this place. They'll allow them to run unchecked and then blame the child for behavior issues.. To Ms. kiah, Ms. Lisa, Ms Bridget and Ms Lima, thank you for everything. Ya'll ladies are absolutely amazing.
We have been apart of the Tree Hut Preschool family for about a year. I have a four year and a 2 year old and both of them love to attend the school. All of the teachers seem to be really compassionate about the kids. My main concern with preschools are not just education but its important to be respectful and patient with kids and Tree Hut does exactly that. My four year old is very rambunctious and they handle her very well.
When my older son was almost 2 in 2018, we needed a daycare that was open till at least 6 pm so I could go back to work. My husband took him here to do a tour and our son fell in love with the place. At the time, it was Ms. Kim, Ms. Jill, Ms. Linda G, Ms. Lma, etc, and they were all great with him and he blossomed. He went from maybe 5 words spoken to 20 or more within a couple of weeks! We loved it so much, we're trying to get our 2nd baby in. Our older son is almost 7 and we still say the food prayer before meals they taught him and we include the teachers and friends from Treehut in our prayers every night to do this day.
Very caring teachers. My son loves everyone there. My only complaint as that I wish we would have found this place sooner!
TreeHut is a wonderful place! The staff are extremely caring, and they have a full curriculum. They have a special focus on diversity as well. My children used to go there, and I highly recommend it.
