About Us

The Learning Tree Preschool is located in the heart of Collinsville, Illinois. It was established in 1976 as a community outreach mission by St. John Evangelical United Church of Christ. Our philosophy is that childhood is a time to be enjoyed and cherished. We believe that communication and cooperation between school and home is essential in creating an environment conducive to learning. We believe in the uniqueness of individuals and consider the needs of each child when developing programs to service them. We believe that by offering quality learning experiences, our children can develop an enthusiasm for life and learning. We believe that a child's work is to play with a purpose.

At The Learning Tree we offer children experiences in a Christian environment that will:

  • Stimulate creativity and self-expression

  • Develop academic concepts and skills

  • Foster communication and language development

  • Nurture self-confidence and social skills

  • Emphasize fine & gross motor skills appropriate for the development of two, three, four, and five year old children.
