Happy Halloween

Today’s the first day of supporting our homeschooled kinders.. Wishing them a great week.

So excited to have our garden completed. The kids are working on art pieces as well as developing a plan of action listing the fruits and veggies that are in season to plant. Tune in to more as their thoughts and ideas flourish..

Please forward to all Family Child Care Providers..

Congrats to our preschool graduates of 2020.. Although this is a slightly different celebration we are so proud of you all..

Green Tree Annual Holiday Breakfast

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Green Tree community, we are so thankful for you all.

Green Tree is honored to be requested to host 16 exchange students from China. They are students from UC Riverside majoring in Early Childhood Education and examining high quality programs from the context of the American culture. It was a great experience for all the children and staff.

Dr. Peter Gray on Importance of Play Interview with professor of psychology and reknowned play advocate Dr. Peter Gray, via Express Parenting "Adults should und...erstand that though they think of educating children a certain way, children usually learn by observing their surroundings and explore the world on their own. Children learn by watching people and generally learn life skills while playing as the ultimate goal of childhood is becoming independent. Unfortunately, we shut off the curiosity in children and tell them how to play, how to sit and how to study and so on. Children are designed to play, run and jump in their own way and if we deprive them of natural play than we deprive them of developing their physical bodies and reaping benefits of natural play."
