Welcome to Linden Tree Preschool
Welcome to Linden Tree Preschool, a warm, safe and stimulating environment where children can explore, make their own discoveries, and gain confidence in themselves as they take their first steps towards independence. As young children are curious and eager learners, Linden Tree will provide a nurturing, organized and appealing space for cooperation and learning.
Our Mission
Linden Tree Preschool provides a safe and caring environment that stimulates the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of children. A blend of academic skills, personal knowledge, and social awareness enables children to learn to the fullest of their abilities, preparing them for further education and lifelong learning. Small by intent and design, Linden Tree Preschool's size is a great strength as it promotes openness, accessibility, and collaboration.
Our curriculum is nonsectarian, and we recognize and celebrate the diversity of faiths and beliefs of our families. While religious education is not a part of our curriculum, for those who wish to do so, participation in Christ Church worship, social and cultural events is welcomed. We feel that being a part of the community is very important. We encourage parent participation in all aspects of the preschool, and believe that our program is strengthened by this involvement.
