When the school day ends, children need something greater than just a place to go. They need time to move, play, create, rest, build friendships, make choices, and feel a sense of belonging. Treehouse is intentionally designed to meet the needs of school-age children after a full day of learning.
Treehouse staff are caring educators, mentors, activity leaders, relationship-builders, and community-creators. Treehouse is a community where differences are welcomed and every child is supported in finding their place. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Treehouse and the PJCC!
