"Little Tree has been such a gift to our family."

The Vogel's (The Vogel's two children each attended Little Tree for the full three year cycle.)

From a parent of three...

"Each of our three boys attended Little Tree for three years because we could see that each year built on the skills and abilities [social and academic] learned the previous year. In particular, during the third [kindergarten] year our children visibly gained confidence and were very comfortable as the "big kids" in the program... They seemed to grow into the role of leaders and supportive mentors to the younger children...

Attending the kindergarten year at little Tree allowed our children to solidify the core academic skills they learned that continue to serve them well as they have continued on in their schooling.

All three of them have gone into first grade reading comfortably. Their understanding of place value and orders of magnitude built from the manipulation of Montessori tools and methods is an excellent math grounding for the rest of their lives. I now see fourth and fifth graders who are still confused in this area, and it further emphasizes the value of that early solid foundation in conceptual and tactile understanding of numbers and numerical manipulation.

Thanks for providing a Little Tree education to our children."

Laura Bienen
