FROM THE OWNER
Dear Prospective Employee,
I am thrilled that you want to learn more about joining our team at Learning Tree Academy. My name is Nataliya Malinovsky and working with children, teachers, and families is my true passion.
You will find our program inviting in many ways. Our teacher-to-child ratios are low so that we can truly get to know each child, their interest, and their individual needs. We love to see the spark of curiosity in their eyes, and we do our best to both foster and follow children’s desire to grow and learn.
Our staff is bubbling with enthusiasm and creativity. We believe that children learn best through play and interaction with their surroundings. We consider different child’s needs and include activities in our daily schedule that promote learning, independence, problem-solving skills, and social-emotional development. We are happy to support families in meeting their needs, whatever that may include.
Thank you for your interest in knowing about Learning Tree Academy. We look forward to working, learning, and growing with you.
Warmly,
Nataliya Malinovsky
