A Family Tree Daycare was founded in 2007 by sisters Erica Saccoccio and Christine Alexander. Both Warwick residents for most of their life, they wanted to take their years of child care and youth leadership experience and open a program that helped provide parents with safe, affordable, childcare during working hours. Working with their professional teaching staff, A Family Tree Daycare has grown from one school age location serving just 25 families in April of 2008 to operating four locations including childcare services for infant, toddler, pre kindergarten and school age children. Mission Statement Family Tree is a trusted leader in providing a high quality, nurturing, and safe environment for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. Our program is designed to connect, educate, and inspire children to become actively involved in the learning process. Our early education teachers are well versed in teaching children through play. Our program uses a play-based curriculum designed to align with the Rhode Island Department of Education and the Rhode Island Early Learning Standards. These standards will expose your child to the nine domains of early learning and development to ensure a well rounded education. Our daily communication with parents is just one way we encourage parents to be part of their child’s learning experience and create a strong home-to-school connection. Your child’s progression within our top rated school age program is designed to develop independence, self-esteem, leadership skills, and a love for our community. Our friendly and knowledgeable teachers utilize the National AfterSchool Association (NAA) practices to guide our after school programming to ensure it meets the highest standards. Our program is one that values diversity, friendship, community, and most of all the strength and support of FAMILY.
