About the Schools
Project Tree offers a full-day, child-centered program that emphasizes nurture, play, and hands-on experiences to promote social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. The school serves a broad age range (6 weeks–12 years), allowing for continuity of care and peer mentoring across stages.
Project Tree’s curriculum is anchored in HighScope’s active-learning model, addressing all domains of development through content areas and Key Developmental Indicators (KDIs). For children aged 2–4, Heggerty Phonics is used to align early literacy with local kindergarten expectations
Facilities and operations are designed to support both learning and safety: oversized, light-filled classrooms, an on-site commercial kitchen in compliance with local regulations, robust internet and building access systems, and video/audio surveillance monitored by leadership. Daily communication is maintained through the center app, monthly calendars, and direct conversations with teachers. The center participates in Nebraska’s Step Up to Quality and follows the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct to maintain continuous program improvement.
