Play and Learn

In our Toddler Room, we use Mother Goose Time early learning curriculum. The teachers engage children’s curiosity by offering sensory-reich play that inspires kids’ imagination through art, drama, investigation of the world, and engages their problem-solving skills. 
Teachers nurture caring relationships with children and encourage them to express their feelings in a appropriate ways. 
Children experience hands-on learning through play, dance to toddler tunes, coloring, and reading books. 

Please and Thank You

Toddlers also start learning social skills and mutual respect. Sharing and caring are operative words as well as the magical words “please” and “thank you” at this age.  The children are exposed to letters, numbers, colors, and shapes to start building a foundation of learning. Potty-training is a major developmental step at this age. We will work with families to maintain consistence between home and school. 
The children enjoy circle time where they discuss the weather, daily routines, and participate in age-appropriate problem-solving.

Exploring Foods with Peers

In our toddler room, the children share their meals at a table.  We reinforce  self help skills of using forks, spoons and opening containers.  During meals we promote healthy habits, social skills and encourage talking to enhance verbal skills.

 Encouraging Imagination

The children delight in yoga and music as well as the many other activities specifically planned for their ages and development. They participate in activities that help to develop their fine motor skills. They have a great time enjoying the learning centers and letting their imaginations take them to interesting places.

Weather permitting, the children enjoy walks and playtime in our playground. When the children cannot do outdoor activities, they have fun using our indoor gym.

What Our Families are Saying

Mike B

Our kindergartener started at Learning Tree in September for help on his virtual days. What a fantastic place this is with caring and supportive teachers. We are so grateful for how the amazing teachers have created a fun, warm and productive learning environment. They assist with virtual learning, fill the kids' afternoons with art, activities and play and have turned this challenging school year into something truly remarkable!

Learning Tree Academy is our first experience with daycare and we couldn't be happier!! The staff is warm, friendly, and kind. I truly appreciate their open communication, especially during this pandemic when there is so much uncertainty. They certainly work hard to put our family at ease. I highly recommend!

This review has been long overdue. I have never been one to write reviews, but I feel compelled to write one of this daycare. I have been very happy sending my son to The Learning Tree Academy in Succasunna. I started sending him to this daycare almost 2 years ago when he was just 4 months old. It was very difficult to do this when he was so young, but the very caring, loving staff made me feel at ease in no time. They sent me pictures throughout the day and I was able to contact them whenever I wanted to to check in.

We have been attending LTA for years (our children are currently 2 & 5). The atmosphere is very welcoming and the kids are happy and engaged. We love the teachers/staff and are so happy to have a safe and healthy place for our children to go when we can’t be with them!

Vicky M

My 3 kids love/loved it here! It’s a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and always helpful. My son and daughter have always had a strong bond with their teachers which makes me feel comfortable here. My children see LTA as their home away from home.

Previous to my son coming here, he was at another center. We left and came here because we weren’t receiving the care we wanted for our baby. Coming here was literally a breath of fresh air. All of the teachers truly care for each child individually and it shows through the love they show, the diligence to work with every child’s specific needs, and the cleanliness exceeding expectations! Beyond 5 stars! I finally found a place that I feel confident sending my son to every day so I can work with a peace of mind.
