The Elijah Treehouse Daycare

Our Teachers

Hey Guys! My name is Tatiana Buckner, and I am thrilled to welcome you to The Elijah Treehouse Daycare. With over 15 years of experience in childcare and a deep passion for teaching, I am dedicated to creating a nurturing and enriching environment for your little ones. I currently work at Walker Elementary as a TA to our behavior intervention specialist. Children are my heart and wear it on my sleeves!

My journey in education began with an Associate’s degree in Early childhood education and Special Education. Throughout my career, I have always worked with children in different forms and capacities. As a young adult, I worked as a camp counselor, where I discovered my love for guiding and supporting children in their developmental journey. This experience has shaped my approach to childcare, emphasizing hands on learning and social emotional growth.

As a childcare provider, I am committed to offering a safe, engaging, and inclusive space where every child can thrive. I believe in the power of play and experiential learning, and I strive to create an atmosphere where children feel valued, respected, safe, and encouraged to explore their interests. I want to ensure that your child is in safe hands at all times and that I am a vessel in the community as a safe space for them to evolve. Parents are welcome any time. Our main values are safety, transparency, love and care!

Philosophy

🌳 Welcome to The Elijah TreeHouse Daycare, where play is at the heart of everything we do! 🌳

Our philosophy is centered around a play/learning based approach, believing that children learn best when they are having fun. We’ve designed our program to be engaging, dynamic, and full of joy, creating a TreeHouse of exploration and discovery for your little ones.

Why Play Based Learning?

🎨 Creativity & Imagination: Play ignites creativity and imagination. Our activities are designed to inspire children to think outside the box and express themselves freely.

🤝 Social Skills: Through play, children learn to communicate, share, and collaborate. Our mixed age settings foster a sense of community and teach valuable social emotional skills.

🧠 Cognitive Development: Play based learning promotes problem-solving and critical thinking. Our hands-on activities encourage children to explore, experiment, and discover new concepts in a natural and enjoyable way.

Our Program Values

🌟 Inclusivity: We celebrate diversity and ensure that every child feels valued and included. Our TreeHouse is a welcoming place for all.

🌟 Safety & Trust: Your child’s safety is our top priority. We provide a secure environment where parents can have peace of mind knowing their children are in caring and capable hands. Full transparency; even if it’s just a band aide given for a smile!

🌟 Growth & Development: We focus on the holistic development of each child, nurturing their physical, emotional, social, and intellectual growth through engaging and meaningful experiences.

🌟 Community: We believe in building strong connections with families and the community. Our TreeHouse is not just a daycare; it’s a community of support and partnership. We help serve the community with food drives, clothes drives, back 2 school supplies and more.
