The Growing Tree Christian Preschool is a vibrant and exciting ministry of the Presbyterian Church of Palm Harbor that continues to offer to the community the opportunity for Christian nurturing of preschool aged children in two, three and four year old classes (VPK), as well as a Mother’s Morning Out, Lunch Bunch, Before and After Care, and Summer Programs.
The Growing Tree seeks to provide sound educational experiences within an environment of Christian faith and love. We are committed to developing your child’s sense of identity as a unique and special person. Our students engage in a variety of activities which encourage cognitive development, emotional growth and kindergarten readiness.
We offer a creative program with a variety of learning experiences to allow your child to grow in understanding of self, others and the world. We utilize a Christian curriculum for each age level based on Pinellas County standards. The Growing Tree’s daily activities include free play, arts and crafts, circle time (songs, games, stories, etc.), outside play and snack. Occasionally, field trips, classroom visitors and special programs for parents are planned.
The Growing Tree is accredited through the Apple Program (Accredited Professional Preschool Learning Environment) and the Gold Seal Quality Care Program. These accreditations serve to enhance and validate the quality education we provide. All teachers and assistants are licensed for early childhood education by the Pinellas County License Board.
