Keeping Children Safe, Every Day

The practices behind your peace of mind

Our Commitment

Nothing Matters More

Before a child can learn, play, or make a friend, they have to feel safe, and so do you. Safety at our schools isn't a checklist pulled out for inspections. It's the quiet routine underneath every day, from the front door to the final pickup.

SECURE BY DESIGN

Safe From the Front Door

Entry to every school runs through keypad-access doors, and every child is signed in and signed out by their family, every single day. Release is simple and strict: only the people you've authorized and verified for pick up, every time. It's a routine that takes seconds and removes all doubt.

How We Keep Days Safe

Healthy Habits

A clear illness policy, shared in our family handbook, spells out when children should stay home and when we’ll call you, so there’s never guesswork on a hard morning. Everyday hygiene and handwashing routines are built into the day, and when something’s going around, you’ll know, and you’ll know what we’re doing about it.

Vetted, Trained Teachers

Every employee clears a background check before their first day, no exceptions. Every teacher also completes state training requirements each year, plus ongoing professional development through ProSolutions. The people closest to your child are screened, prepared, and still learning themselves. Safety starts with who’s in the room.

The Right Ratios

We follow the child-to-teacher ratios required by each state, and the younger the children, the more teachers in the room. That’s what makes truly attentive care possible: more eyes during play, more hands at mealtime, more laps at story time. It’s something you’ll notice the moment you walk into a classroom.

Ready for the Unexpected

Every school maintains an emergency preparedness plan, and every team member knows their role before it’s ever needed. From severe weather to a little one with a scraped knee, our teachers are prepared to respond calmly and keep children safe. Being ready is simply part of how we run every day.

Our Teachers

A Safe Day from Start to Finish

Safety here isn’t one moment, it’s the whole day. It starts when the keypad clicks and your child is welcomed by a teacher who knows exactly who’s arriving. It continues through supervised play, healthy routines, and classrooms staffed to state ratios. And it ends the way it began: your child released only to you or the people you’ve chosen, with a real update on their day. None of it is dramatic. All of it is deliberate.

There’s a quieter side to safety, too. Children who know what comes next feel secure, so steady routines and familiar faces do as much protective work as any locked door. When your child feels safe enough to try new things, take small risks in play, and trust the adults around them, that’s safety doing its real job: making room to grow.

Why Our Families Trust Us

Heather Speers
Treehouse Learning Center - Tazewell/Gibbs
"We were impressed by the moment we walked in with Miss Diana our son is got some sensory issues and other small issues. Diana was very accepting along with Miss Sarah. They welcomed Cole with open arms. We had some rough moments, but nothing that any teacher at treehouse was not willing to work with us with a long came Miss Amber and made a world of difference. I’m not gonna sit here and say that every day was easy because it was not it was a struggle some days, but every person in that building always made Cole feel welcome was always willing to work with us on the best plan and process for Cole it doesn’t just stop there in the classroom. I can’t explain enough, how blessed and thankful we were to be able to find treehouse and attend there. It was very sad when Cole graduated and went to kindergarten, knowing that he was leaving treehouse, as we were very thankful for each and every person there even now that we live in Florida, we still recommend treehouse to anyone who ask back home in Tennessee."

"After touring several other daycare in the halls area and becoming hopeless I found Treehouse.. I knew from the first phone call this was the one. Dianna, the 'Boss-lady' came off as cool, yet absolutely in control of every move being made there. She runs a tight ship as far as rules go and making sure everyone follows the rules to keep the kids safe, all while making it fun so you barely even notice they're rules.😆.. my daughter started her when she was 3 and stayed until KG. I will say, never once, not a single time have I ever walked in announced or not and not seen every class engaged with the kids. Theyre always following a curriculum or doing arts and crafts. Learning ALL DAY EVERY DAY. Mrs Amy, I cant give her enough praise. She was 'My Amy' to my daughter. And I dreaded the day Grace Graduated bc she wouldn't have her. Treehouse Learning Center was an amazing place for my daughter to be while I worked. I never worried about Grace's safety when she was there. THANK YOU DIANNA, AMY, AND ALL THE OTHER WONDERFUL TEACHERS . You guys dont know how much it meant to me to have a place like this for my daughter. Highly recommend."

How to Choose a School

Choosing care is a big decision. Here's how families usually find their fit.

Identify What Matters Most

Start with your family's needs: location, hours, ages, and the feel you want when you walk in the door. Knowing your priorities makes every other step easier.

Learn about the School

Explore programs, meet the director, and ask your questions, from daily routines to how teachers communicate. Good schools love the questions; they mean you care.

Come See It for Yourself

Nothing beats a visit. Schedule a tour, watch the classrooms in action, and trust what you see and feel. That gut feeling at drop-off matters.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

How do you control who enters the building?

Every school has keypad-access entry, and families sign their child in and out daily. Visitors don't move through our schools unaccompanied, and children are only released to the adults you've authorized.

We follow a clear illness policy, shared with every family in our handbook, that covers when children should stay home and when we'll call you. It protects your child, their classmates, and their teachers, and it means no surprises.

Only the people you've authorized, ever. You control that list, and your school verifies through ID checks before any child is released. If plans change mid-day, a quick call to your school is all it takes to arrange an authorized alternate, and no one outside your list will ever be allowed access to your child.

Our illness policy, shared with every family in the handbook, lays out exactly when children should stay home and when they can return, so you're never guessing on a rough morning. It exists to protect your child, their classmates, and their teachers, and your school will walk you through it before your first day. If your child starts feeling unwell during their day here, you will be promptly contacted.
