The Learning Treehouse | Effingham County Daycare

The Learning Treehouse began as a dream for owner Ashley Boland and her former partner Sheila Huggins. Both ladies taught a special needs kindergarten class at Port Wentworth Elementary and began discussing the desperate need for a quality child care learning center in Effingham County. Ashley and Sheila had ideas for a center that would not only provide a quality environment for both staff and students but create a “home away from home” feeling that is hard to find in most child care centers. As their discussions progressed, they both decided to take the necessary steps to make their dream a reality. Developing the philosophy of The Treehouse (below) was one of the first steps the ladies took in ensuring The Treehouse would become an outstanding child care center in the community.

On September 4, 2001 The Learning Treehouse opened its doors to the public and welcomed new children, families, and staff. The Treehouse dream for Ashley and Sheila had truly become reality! The ladies worked extremely hard to earn the reputation that The Treehouse will carry with years to come. With a well-organized plan and a professional staff the ladies have built a “well-oiled machine”. Sheila Huggins has since retired in 2006 however, Ashley continues the dream they both worked so hard on in their classroom long ago.

In March of 2005, The Learning Treehouse added a new office staff member; Jana Fox. Jana had worked in The Treehouse toddler classroom as lead teacher for over three years before becoming an office assistant. Jana has a diploma in Early Childhood Program Administration and has earned The National Administrator Credential. Ashley and Jana worked together in the office as director and assistant before Ashley began to phase herself out of the daily operations in order to return to her passion for teaching special needs children. In August of 2008, Jana took over as the director of The Learning Treehouse and continues overseeing the daily operations of the center.

Amy Hudson joined the office staff in 2007 as administrative assistant after teaching in child care for over 7 years. Mrs. Hudson has since taken over as Assistant Director and assists Jana in daily operations of the center.

Since its opening, The Learning Treehouse has added an additional wing to accommodate more students as well as an employee parking lot. Additional curriculum including music and movement classes for toddlers and ballet lessons for three and four year olds is offered weekly. With each upcoming school year, The Treehouse prepares for more new children and families and sadly says goodbye to those who have “grown up” and graduated from our pre-kindergarten program. No matter what may come or go for The Treehouse, it is certain that the children and families in its care will forever carry fond memories of The Treehouse in their hearts.
