Our Teachers
I’m Paula Brooks, and I serve as the director of Once Upon A Learning Tree Daycare, a loving and nurturing home daycare that I founded with a deep-rooted commitment to early childhood education. My journey into the realm of teaching and childcare was profoundly influenced by a personal experience that forever changed my perspective. When my own child was diagnosed with ADHD at a tender age, it ignited a relentless drive within me to learn more about early childhood education and discover the most effective ways to support his development. This pivotal moment not only fueled my determination to provide the best possible care and education for my child but also inspired me to extend that support to other children facing similar challenges. This passion ultimately led me to establish Once Upon A Learning Tree Daycare, where I could make a meaningful difference in the lives of my own children and those entrusted to my care.
Philosophy
At our childcare, our philosophy is firmly rooted in the belief that children thrive in an environment that fosters play-based learning and provides them with ample love and support. We understand that every child is unique, and we celebrate their individuality by creating a space where they can truly be themselves. We view play as a powerful tool for children’s development, allowing them to explore, experiment, and discover the world around them at their own pace. Through play, children develop essential skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and social interaction, all while building a strong foundation for future learning. Our commitment to nurturing each child’s growth in a loving and accepting atmosphere lies at the core of our childcare philosophy, ensuring that every child’s journey with us is a joyous and enriching experience.
