Staff are friendly and caring. They all know my kiddo’s name and genuinely care about their development and growth. I feel comfortable dropping them off each day, and my kiddo claps when we turn into the parking lot so I know they love going to school here too!

We’ve had a wonderful experience with The Learning Tree! The teachers here are not only incredibly helpful and attentive, but they really put so much effort into each child’s development. It’s clear they care deeply about the kids’ growth and learning journey, and as parents, we really appreciate that.

The teachers here are amazing. My daughter learned so much and I was never worried if she was in good hands or not - the facility is always clean and children well looked after. The daily updates with pictures put my mind at ease. I will always look back fondly on our time here!

If I could give The Learning Tree 10 out of 5 stars, I absolutely would! This exceptional daycare is nothing short of a gem, and words can hardly capture the gratitude we feel for the incredible care our daughter received during her time there. Although she was only enrolled for a month before transitioning to a public Pre-K program, the impact The Learning Tree had on her growth and happiness was truly remarkable.
From the moment we walked through the doors, we were struck by the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The teachers and staff go above and beyond, greeting every child by name with genuine smiles and fostering meaningful, individualized relationships. Our daughter lights up when she talks about her teachers, especially Mr. Jay, whose humor left a lasting impression on her. This personal touch creates a nurturing environment where children feel valued and inspired to thrive.

The sense of community at The Learning Tree is unparalleled. The staff cultivates a true partnership with families, ensuring a shared commitment to each child's development. As parents, we felt supported and understood, even when we faced challenges. Transitioning our daughter to public Pre-K was daunting for us, and we weren't the easiest family to work with during this time. Yet, the compassionate team at The Learning Tree provided unwavering support, offering reassurance and guidance that made the process seamless and far less stressful.

The Learning Tree is more than a daycare- it's a vibrant, thoughtfully designed environment where children flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. The quality of care, dedication of the staff, and joyful atmosphere are unmatched. Five stars simply don't do justice to the extraordinary experience we had. We wholeheartedly recommend The Learning Tree to any family seeking a place where their child will be cherished, supported, and empowered to grow.

This school is great. Since we dropped our daughter off for her first day a few years ago, my wife and I have enjoyed the peace of mind that our kid is in a safe environment that allows her to have fun and learn. Daily posts, videos, and photographs of what our daughter's up to, which help add an extra piece of mind during the work day. Last point and most important--the staff cares--and it's evidenced by their interaction with the kids. My daughter has relationships and friends that have been cultivated due to the loving, fun atmosphere created by the LT.

SHOUT OUT, MISS DOMINIQUE AND MISS SAPPHIRE! THEY RULE!

The Learning Tree Daycare has been an absolute blessing for our family. Both of my children attended - my daughter from ages 2 to 4 and my son from 1 to 2 - and I cannot recommend them enough.

From day one, the teachers at Learning Tree made my somewhat shy child feel safe, loved, and encouraged. My daughter had a speech delay, and the patience, support, and encouragement she received there helped her so so much. They don’t just focus on academics or rigid schedules; they teach kindness, social skills, and everyday life lessons that are just as important as ABCs and 123s at this stage. More than anything, the kids are genuinely *LOVED* - and that makes all the difference.

As a working parent, I truly could not have had my career without the trust and peace of mind that Learning Tree provided. They are very reasonably priced, and the new (in 2025) owners and management of the building are just as wonderful as the teachers - professional, kind, and supportive. In 2025 they did a ton of renovations with all brand new floors, classroom toys & supplies, and a brand new outdoor playground with a new fence.

Payment is simple and stress-free through their online portal, and the app they use makes communication effortless. Getting pictures and videos throughout the day was such a gift...it warmed my heart to see my kids smiling, playing, and learning in real time. They use a key fob system to enter the building and you have to go through multiple check-points, it is very safe.

Before finding Learning Tree, we tried other daycare options in Annapolis that felt cold, too strict, and more like a prison for toddlers than a nurturing environment. Learning Tree was the complete opposite - warm, family-oriented, and rooted in decades of experience. The teachers are unmatched, which is why they’ve been trusted by families for over 30 years. At the end of the day, these are children - they don't need to learn rocket science, they need to feel LOVED, supported and SAFE.

Special shoutouts to Miss Yolanda and Miss Dominique, who went above and beyond every single day. Their dedication, warmth, and love are the heart of the Learning Tree community.

If you’re looking for a daycare that understands what children need, and will genuinely take care of them as if they were their own - then The Learning Tree is it. I cannot recommend them enough!

All of my experiences and interactions have been nothing but positive and welcoming.
The director Emily was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions with eloquence. You can really tell she loves doing her job. In the future I look forward to bring my children to this center thanks to her!

The Learning Tree is a loving environment where kids are given the opportunity to have fun, interact with kids, and gain the learning foundation to be successful in kindergarten. The teachers make it their mission to create success for each child and show how much they really care about not only their well-being, but their future. It is a great place to bring your child!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with The Learning Tree. From the moment we walked in, it just felt right. The teachers greet our daughter by name each morning, and it’s clear they truly care about each child as an individual. She’s come home each day brimming with stories, songs, and new things she’s learned—not to mention the adorable art projects we now have proudly displayed all over the house.

Watching her blossom socially and emotionally in such a nurturing space has been so reassuring. She’s made real friendships and grown in confidence, and I credit so much of that to the gentle, encouraging environment this preschool provides.

Communication with the staff has been amazing too—thoughtful updates, photos, and genuine interest in how she’s doing. It’s one thing to know your child is safe… it’s another to know she’s truly happy. This place gives us that peace of mind every single day.
