This child sat and ground up cinnamon for 2 HOURS! He wanted the cinnamon to be as fine as possible so he could use it to bake with his mother.
"What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies." – Rudolph Giuliani ❤️ Thank you to all the grandparents that came to visit our school today! It was so much fun getting to show everyone how amazing and hard working these children are!
A busy morning in the toddler room! Observing, cleaning, working, singing, and so many other things all happening in the same classroom at the same time.
This toddler got to visit the primary side for a bit and was drawn to the beauty of the bead cabinet. One day you’ll be doing this big work little one!
When you master the binomial cube and nothing else in the world matters except putting it together another 20 times.
The children have really been enjoying the flower arranging work this week. Slow down during pick up and drop off and enjoy the beautiful arrangements the children have made. Thank you to the Clark family for bringing in flowers from their garden!

Did you know that reading to plants can help them grow? Today our friends sat down with our new Venus fly trap to test out this theory.
Happy Friday! For our last day of teacher appreciation week, we’re featuring Delfina! Delfina is our newest primary guide, but has been a part of the Treehouse community for several years, working with many Treehouse families as a nanny and babysitter. Coming from a family of educators, Delfina knew early on that she wanted to work with children. Having worked with Treehouse families in the past, Delfina saw first-hand the independent, respectful, and curious children a Montessori Education creates and was immediately interested in learning more. Delfina graduated from high School in Aurora in 2016 and is currently in college earning a degree in early childhood education. She is happy and grateful to have found a permanent place within our community and is excited to come to work with us every day. ... Thank you all for celebrating teacher appreciation week with us! We hope you’ll continue on past this week “appreciating” our teachers for the big work they do in our little school. Have a great weekend everyone!
Today’s featured teacher is our beloved Sammy! Sammy wears many hats around Treehouse and is a toddler guide by day and Treehouse’s Reggio coordinator by afternoon. She holds a masters degree in early childhood education and has five years of early childhood experience. Sammy has worked in a variety of settings including project based learning, Reggio Emilia and Montessori. She enjoys early childhood education because she likes having the opportunity to provide children with the tools they will need to tackle all of life's challenges. Sammy and her husband moved from South Dakota five years ago and have since been enjoying all that our great state has to offer with their two dogs.
We’re half way through teacher appreciation week, and this Wednesday we’re featuring primary guide, Jess! Jess comes to Treehouse from Austin after five years working with children in various settings. She is currently earning her Montessori credential through Age of Montessori and is excited to be a certified Montessori primary guide next month. Jess was initially drawn to Montessori because she likes having the ability to meet each child where they are and Montessori’s focus on independence. Since coming to Treehouse in the summer of 2017, Jess has enjoyed getting to know and bonding with all of the wonderful families and children at our school. When she isn’t at Treehouse, Jess spends her time climbing, getting outside, and enjoying all that Colorado has to offer with her boyfriend and their two dogs.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Day! Today we’re featuring Britt. Britt is a guide in our primary room (although you may have seen her helping out in the toddler room as well). Hailing from the great Midwest, Britt has been working with children for 6 years and has been with Treehouse since 2016. Prior to coming to Treehouse, Britt worked all across the US and Europe as a nanny and private educator. This background allowed her to focus her attention on the individual child and she was initially attracted to Montessori because of its belief that each child is unique and that there is no “one size fits all” approach when it comes to learning. Britt will begin earning her primary Montessori credential this summer through Montessori Education Center of the Rockies. When she isn’t at Treehouse, Britt enjoys biking, hiking, skiing, climbing and traveling.
