Treehaus Village Family Day Care, Los Angeles

Treehaus Village focuses on the whole child, and we place equal emphasis on social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. Our school emulates the traditional family setting of mixed age groups that allows children to play more harmoniously at different developmental levels. In the family day care setting, they are interacting and learning as a small village or community, growing together in a more natural, organic way where older children mentor their younger peers and the younger children learn from their more experienced friends. Our children resolve conflicts with the facilitated assistance of their teachers who help give them the right words to play more harmoniously and effectively socialize with others. Teachers also show children how to interact by modeling respectful expression of feelings, setting boundaries and redirecting misbehaviors with appropriate activities and supervised play. Children’s emotions are validated, and they are encouraged to express themselves in a positive, nurturing environment. Our program is designed to incorporate a wide range of interests including, art, blocks, dramatic play, fine motor, science, sensory play, outdoor and large motor, sand and gardening.
