The environment has a sense of wonder, experimentation, thinking, socialization and connection with nature and culture. Documentation is used to see, reflect and revisit ideas, feelings and experiences. Visual arts (the hundred languages of children such as art, dramatics music, etc) are used to have children express themselves and learn.  Observation and listening are used to promote an emergent curriculum of in depth topics based on the child & teacher's interests.  Parent involvement is used to support learning. The Learning Tree services nearby communities including Lake Zurich, Barrington, Island Lake, Wauconda, Kildeer and Deer Park.
