My daughter has attended olive tree learning center since august of 2020. All the staff is amazing and very supportive, this school truly cares about all the children and parents that attend here. I would definitely recommend coming and enrolling tour child here if tour looking for a fun and safe environment. Ms. Megan and all the staff always have fun activities for the students to learn and keep them active.I will truly miss this place. If I can give more stars I would. I love it here and they all felt like family. Olive Tree will be truly be missed.Thank you for taking great care of of my Bella. We love you all.

Its been wonderful having our little kid at Olive Tree on Fair Oaks Ave. The caregivers are kind and understanding, the space is fun and safe, and the backyard offers a lot of opportunities for different kinds of outdoor play. I especially appreciate how easy it is to communicate with the staff and administration. They accommodated our childs dietary needs with grace, and helped us tremendously with potty training! They are flexible with scheduling, as well, which is very helpful when trying to balance work, family, and childcare.

We were able to put our foster child at Olive Tree shortly after we were placed with him, and we feel like we won the lottery! Ms. Bee and all the other teachers at the Laun campus have all been wonderful and extremely tolerant. They were sensitive to our childs background and made him feel extremely loved and cared for. Loved the smaller, more intimate setting as well. Also, the director/teachers were very accommodating to listening to parents requests or if things are handled a particular way. They were great with helping our child who started on a different nap schedule than the rest of the class, assisted in transitioning him to napping with everyone else when he was ready. Our time there was cut a bit short due to the pandemic but our child still asks about going back to Bees house and we know he enjoyed going there. Would definitely recommend.

We just love love Olive tree! We had our first daughter start in March of 2016 and our second daughter started in April of 2018. I love the love and attention all the children receive. The staff is always wonderful and pleasant. I have a question, concern or an idea for hours and the staff is always supportive and welcoming. We love all the teachers. I will say Miss Stephanie is a gem! Both of my girls adore her. She is sweet and great with all the kids. Angela is a miracle worker she will answer all questions and if the schedule of my child needed to be changed in the past she helped make it work. As for the parents I will say I got to meet so many as we were invited to birthday parties. I love the great community they bring about something that is hard to come by. Thank you Olive teachers and staff!

This is the most wonderful school! My two year old has been here since he was four months old and he is always amazing me with how much he learns. The small environment allows the teachers to customize your child’s curriculum to make sure they are always being challenged and it blows my mind how much my son can do and say already. I also love that there is a range of ages— he saw the older kids use the potty so he started to use it too. He has learned to be gentle around babies as well— something that you can’t get in a class where the kids are all the same age. The most important thing, though, is the amazing teachers. You have never met such patient, caring, encouraging teachers in your life. They are my son’s daytime family and I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving him anywhere else. It really is the perfect school for my toddler!

Our two and three year olds have been going to Olive Tree for half a year now since late 2018. The staff is great, focused and insightful. Our toddlers didnt know English when they started, but they both already communicate in English in addition to their native Finnish thanks to the school. The kids are both happy and loved there.

Our daughter has been going for just under a year and we all absolutely love it. The teachers are all warm, kind, nurturing, and have wonderfully in depth knowledge of child development. Our little one comes home very day happy and having learned new songs, made art, letters, and more. We couldnt be happier with Olive Tree as our daycare.

I was one of the first parents to register my infant at Olive Tree in 2015. If I were to sum up our experience there over the next 2.5 years, I would say, we now have extended family at this daycare center! The director, Angela, is indeed an angel!!! She is caring, warm, conscientious, attuned to the children and families needs, open to critique and suggestions, and now a dear friend. The teachers there are outstanding! Our favorite is still Stephanie!!!! My son asks about Ms. Stephanie and Olive Tree nearly daily(!!!) and always with enthusiasm. The only reason we are no longer there is because we moved. Otherwise, my plan was to keep my son there until he started Kindergarten. The center itself is cozy, comfortable, CLEAN(!!!!), and happy!The curriculum is age-appropriate and fun!! My son learned to count to 20 by the time he was 3!!! He was counting in Spanish as well!! The best part of their *teaching* (they emphasize play-learning) is that the children sing, dance, and learn! My son loved circle time and sharing on Fridays. I really credit Olive Tree teachers with developing a keen social-emotional learning environment and teaching the kids about body autonomy, respect for self and others, and sharing!!!! These little ones learn so much while still being little kids!!The teachers are always attentive, caring, nurturing, accommodating, and your littles ones will run into their open arms at drop off. Im one of the most critical parents I know and these teachers and director had and continue to have my utmost respect and admiration. I really feel we are forever connected to our Olive Tree team. I highly recommend this daycare with confidence and enthusiasm! We miss our family!!! (Even though we still hear from them with their caring hellos and check-ins!) So much love for Olive Tree!!!!!!
