Juniper Tree Preschool
​
At Juniper Tree, we highly value creative play as a central activity in early childhood. We believe that play helps children weave together all the elements of life as they experience it. We offer a unique program inspired by holistic approaches to early education, such as Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf. Our activities are developed in the format of play, yet integrates Language Arts, Math and Science, making the program fun and enriching.
