The Treehouse Story

The Treehouse was established in 2017 by a group of like-minded parents who shared a common goal of bringing nature and play back into their children’s lives. It began as a small gathering of families who wanted to create an environment where children could freely express themselves, embrace curiosity, and learn through play, all while being surrounded by the beauty of nature.

Located in the heart of Johor Bahru, The Treehouse currently occupies two bungalow properties overlooking a community park. The premises are adorned with mature Angsana trees, planted by the community, which provide a sheltered space for children to spend more time outdoors. The outdoor areas have also been thoughtfully designed using bio-philic principles to foster a meaningful interaction between children and nature.

Ee Vynn, the founder of The Treehouse, is a mother of three who holds a Diploma in Chemical Engineering and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Her journey into early childhood education began when she noticed her eldest child losing interest in learning at the age of four. Recognizing that play is a natural way for children to learn and develop important life skills, she pursued a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education to deepen her understanding and passion for the field.

OUR BELIEFS

The driving force behind The Treehouse is the belief that each child is unique and should be given the opportunity to learn and grow at their own pace and in their own distinctive way. The aim is to provide an environment where children can explore, discover, and make sense of the world around them.

The dedicated and knowledgeable educators at The Treehouse serve as facilitators, guiding children to reach their fullest potential.

The programs at The Treehouse cater to children aged 18 months to 6 years. Drawing inspiration from the Reggio Emilia approach and the Vygotskian Approach, the curriculum is designed to be holistic, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, teamwork, communication, and creativity in children.

The Treehouse places a strong emphasis on nature, loose parts play, sensory experiences, parent-teacher collaboration, community integration, project-based learning, and the key principles of the Reggio Emilia approach. By incorporating these elements into their approach,

The Treehouse strives to create a nurturing and engaging learning environment for children, where their natural curiosity and love for learning can flourish.
