Learning Tree Preschool was established in September 2004 by sisters Jackie Warren (B.A/B.Ed/E.C.E) and
Donna Warren-MacNeil (Nursing Diploma) after many requests from parents for a smaller more personalized preschool program.
Learning Tree Preschool is a private non-licensed preschool program which provides opportunities for personal growth
for young children in all areas of development through the program provided in our home-based family setting.
Our program
strives to follow closely the guidelines as laid out by the Department of Community Services and the requirements set by the
Province of Nova Scotia regarding Preschool Programs.
Our program provides parents with peace of mind and security
knowing their children are in a happy and safe environment where their children are cared for by trained and qualified caregivers/teachers
who express sensitivity and interest in being with their children.
We are very proud to offer the community a well
trusted quality child care experience.
Our children receive considerable individual attention in a home environment.
We foster friendships between the Preschool families as well as a co-operative relationship between home and ourselves. We
value eah child as an individual and take a deep interest in all aspects of the children's development. It is our hope that
we work towards helping children acheive their full potential, while developing at their own pace.
Jackie brings to the program over 24 years experience in the field of Elementary and Early Childhood Education both
as a teacher and administrator in larger urban settings. Jackie and Donna have been working together offering quality
early childhood education in a small family type setting for over 6 years. The success of the program has been overwhelming
and waiting lists are not unusual.
