Company Description

Treehouse Learning Center is a quality learning center located in Gahanna, OH. Our mission at Treehouse Learning Center is to provide a safe and developmentally appropriate atmosphere, which fosters a child's natural desire to explore, discover, and create. At Treehouse Learning Center, we believe in the value and uniqueness of each child. Our childcare experience is designed to promote each child's own individual, social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Our method of teaching uses a hands‑on approach given that children learn best and have more fun when engaged in tactile experiences. Children are encouraged to be active participants and not just an observer.

Our main goal is to foster a desire for learning within each child and enrich his/her self-esteem and awareness. We present information through games and activities which involve each child. Children are expected and encouraged to be children, and small adults. The environment at the Center promotes learning but we will have lots of fun in the process. Through a mixture of hands‑on experiences, group activities, and individual play, our children will develop the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical skills necessary for all aspects of life and development.
