STEAM Enrichments Build Their Critical Thinking Skills

Fun projects, activities, and experiments that incorporate science, technology, engineering, art, and math inspire your child’s natural curiosity. They learn to hypothesize, solve problems and think creatively as they build a love of discovery.

Fun In The Fresh Air To Support Healthy Growth

Kids love daily playtime in safe, age-separated playgrounds for the chance to let off steam and explore. As they climb on structures and tend lush gardens, they grow in confidence and connect with nature.

Purified Air & Sanitized Spaces Protect Everyone’s Wellbeing

Our already-high cleaning standards get a boost with air purification that keeps little lungs happy. Staff sanitize surfaces and learning spaces every day, and a team of professional cleaners comes in every week, so everyone stays healthy.

Hear What Parents Have To Say...

"A Family Tree is like having a family member"
My son has attended A Family Tree since we moved to Warwick almost 5 years ago. All of the teachers are amazing & they really love what they do!! They do different activities with the children during the week, in the summer they off field trips for each age group! If you are looking for child care, A Family Tree is like having a family member watch your child. I would absolutely recommend!!

"Everyone who works there truly cares about the children"
I highly recommend Family Tree. I started sending my kids to Family Tree for childcare when my second child was 2. Immediately, I saw a difference. I always feel that the everyone who works there truly cares about the children. Whenever you reach out with a question or feedback, you receive a very timely response. They have been great during the pandemic.
- Stephanie Baldassi
"All the staff is always excited to help the children grow"
I have been with A Family Tree for almost a year! Every staff truly cares about not only the well-being of the children but also making sure each child feels safe and welcome! I have 3 that attend one at WA and two at after school and they beg to go during DL days! All the staff is always excited to help the children grow. With that being said I would definitely recommend being part of the Family Tree family. ❤️

"They went out of their way to help solve issues"
First off I wanna say that if they were more places like The Family Tree this world would be a better place to live in When I called because I needed a place for my son to go to do distant learning I was at the lowest point of my lifeThe a. dmission staff not only open their doors but also open their arms to me. When ever I had any kind of issue, they went out of their way to help solve it and do whatever it took to accommodate me. THANK YOU!

"Each and every teacher/ staff member is friendly"
My oldest son, now 17, went to one of the very first locations when they opened and now my youngest goes to Edythe Street. Each and every teacher/ staff member is friendly and always super helpful and truly become members of the family! I would absolutely recommend Family Tree for infants up through grade school. What a wonderful experience we have had over the last 10+ years!

"They are dedicated to our children's health and well being"
I can't say enough good things about family tree! These guys put the "family" in family tree. They make you feel like a part of their very own. My oldest has been going here for 2 years and my newborn now attends daycare here too. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my precious babes. They are dedicated to our children's health and well being and go above and beyond every day! My kids love them and We love Family Tree😊❤

Both children have been attending now for several years. This daycare is really like family! They are warm, welcoming, and attentive. Both children have learned so much socially and academically. They also make the time for my children to play and make friends. We wouldn't go anywhere else!
