Learning is Fun at Holly Tree!

From Baby Sign Language

to Science Experiments to Making Friends,

there's something for everyone

at Holly Tree!

www.hollytreechildcare.com

It all starts with a healthy breakfast

and a little conversation.

Then a little fun!

Making friends in Music Class!

Learning writing, letters, and numbers!

Exploring the classroom! 

Before the day is out someone might even lose a tooth!

Our days at Holly Tree are filled with joy and learning.

With young children, every moment is a teachable moment! 

Our teachers understand that, so no matter what age the class

is, rest assured we'll be taking advantage of every 

opportunity to help your child learn; even when they're playing!

The Holly Tree Way

Smiling and playing and thinking all day,

Talking and learning; it's the Holly Tree way.

We love what we do and we do it with zest!

That's why our Holly Tree is simply the best!

In celebration of Dr. Seuss and the 

National Education Association's

"Read Across America"

(http://www.nea.org/grants/886.htm)

our creative and industrious teachers, 

along with their multi-talented students,

have turned our center into

"Whoville"!!!

Thinking the Day Away!

There's so much to think 

about in preschool--and so

many fun things to do! 

At Holly Tree, we fill 

our days with "doing" and 

"thinking",which really means 

learning and having fun!

 

We observe, learn about trial and error, 

and develop hand and finger muscles

when we're little-and when we're bigger!

For more preschool information

about thinking processes and 

small motor physical development

skills go to: 

http://www.naeyc.org/tyc/article/process-art-experiences

 

We learn about health, science concepts, 

and math in many ways; making parfaits 

and graphing favorites fruits are just two of them!

When we can see and touch, we can ponder...

We think outside, too, and that

makes us happy!

Sometimes we think in groups, sometimes alone, 

and sometimes with our special teachers. 

In all these ways we're learning!

And having fun!

Hip Hip Hooray!

Hip, Hip, Hurray! 

We Love Outside!

Outside's not only great for 

fresh air and sunshine, 

it's great for development, too!

Playing outside promotes 

social skills, physical skills, 

and cognitive skills! All this skill

development is great for

growing children. For more details

about the benefits of outdoor

play check out this link 

from the National Association for 

the Education of Young Children:

But most importantly, see how

 much fun it is and see how 

many smiles it brings! 

It's emotional development at its best!

Holly Tree Christian Preschool!

Growing Up at Holly Tree

Our center's growing--in ages and numbers! 

We're adding classes and adding

families and we couldn't be happier!

As children grow and develop, so do their 

abilities, and thus their need for 

more activities, more opportunities, 

and more challenges!

Some of our Toddlers have grown

up so much that we recently 

added a Young Two's class 

with a fabulous new teacher! 

Her name is Ms. Sara, she's the mother

 of a two year old herself, and her

new class is going great! 

See for yourself below!

She uses the popular website: southern savers

We have now set up a coupon drop box in our lobby. I'm sure this program will only grow! They have upcoming plans to help Holly Tree shop for supplies that we often donate to Second Harvest Food Pantry, soldiers over sees, or the local community. 

If you are interested in learning how to start couponing, do your research! It is really very simple. ENROLLING your child at Holly Tree could be the first step to saving money!
