Our Approach

At Treehouse Academy we work on the goals of Social Emotional Development, Physical Development, Cognitive Development and Language Development from The Creative Curriculum (as used in LWSD).

We also employ elements from the Montessori method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the Montessori teacher offers age-appropriate activities to guide the process. Children discover and explore knowledge of the world and to develop their maximum potential.

We also closely follow the Washington State Early Learning and Development Guidelines.

We provide age-appropriate activities designed to meet the developmental needs of our students using the Hand Writing Without Tears curriculum designed to teach the students the developmental needs of learning how to write. Children who master handwriting are better, more creative writers. The earlier we teach children to master handwriting, the more likely they are to succeed in school, and write with speed and ease in all subjects.

We strive to provide individual attention. Our relaxed enjoyable environment is important for a positive attitude towards school and school readiness.
