What Exactly Is Treehouse Online Academy?
Treehouse Academy is a virtual preschool and kindergarten program that helps ensure your child receives a robust year-long education, full of hands-on fun, reading, crafts, music, and more! Just what early learning should be! You can choose between all on-demand classes or a mix of on-demand and live virtual classes.
Forget trying to plan out everything your child needs to learn! Leave all those Pinterest ideas behind! All the planning is already done for you! You get to be the cool parent because all you have to do is have fun along with your kiddo!
As a homeschool mom to four children (all 5 and under for a time!) for 18 years, I totally understand where you are. You're busy! Most days you are lucky to get a shower, how in the world do you find the time to plan out and teach your kiddos all the things they need to learn?!
That's where Treehouse Online Academy comes in. Let me come along beside you and help ensure your little one gets the education they deserve, from a teacher who will love them like her very own! After nearly two decades of successfully planning out and teaching lessons to children of all ages, I have the experience and knowledge to make sure your little one learns while having fun doing so!
In addition, each month we will have focused learning on specific themes.
Below are examples of some of the things we will be learning about!

“You are the best and Mya loves you so much already. I cannot believe how this child is responding, and how excited she is for her school!!! I wish we had you longer. I have almost cried to my husband about how we don't want to lose you.”
Stephanie White
“You do perfect!! I wish she could have you for every grade!!! Big sad face here! We don't want this to end!!!”

“Thank you so much!! They have been doing so good in your class. I'm honestly surprised that they have been doing so well and learning so much already. I'm so proud of them. They really enjoy your class! They get so excited to do class time, they love it. Thank you for doing so good with them and all the time you're investing into them.”

“If you have a preschool age child and not doing classes with Miss Christy you are missing out. Gracelyn is loving it. She talks nonstop about Miss Christy. You're celebrity status to her. This is such a blessing for us.”

Hello! My name is Christy Mitchell (Miss Christy), and I will be your little one's teacher!
I studied education in college and am a former homeschool momma to our four children: Kaitlyn, Caleb, Cameron, and Kristin. We homeschooled for 18 years, from preschool through high school graduation! All four went on to college and have done amazingly well! We have a social worker, a mechanical engineer, an architect, and an English major with an emphasis in creative writing!
I also taught ESL (English as a Second Language) for two years to children ages 4-12 who lived all over the world!
I have been happily married to my best friend, Seth, since 1995. Our home and family are top priorities to me, and when you enroll your child with Treehouse Academy, your family instantly becomes part of our family!
I've taught multiple ages of Sunday School over the years, I have taught VBS since I was a teenager, and was even VBS Director for 7 years!
I feel like I've been teaching all my life! Teaching little ones is my passion and brings me great joy! I promise you, no teacher will love your precious babies more than I will, and I strive for them to know just how much they are loved through our classroom interactions.
Our Pre-K and Kindergarten programs are ideal for children ages 4-6, although many times we have siblings slightly younger as well as slightly older also join in the fun with our class activities!
Families who want a complete home-based program, or those who are looking to supplement an in-person program love Treehouse Academy!
Our program is perfect for homeschool families, working families, parents who want to be involved, and those who just need a little break each day! We are even available for schools, daycares, and babysitters to use our program with their little ones!
On Demand classes are pre-recorded lessons taught by me so your little one can have that undivided one-on-one teaching. In each class we say the Pledge of Allegiance, we sing our "Better Alphabet" song (this teaches the letters along with the sounds they make!), and we practice our weekly Bible verse! After that we have phonics time, math time, and our themed learning (dinosaurs, outer space, plants, etc.) where we sing, play games, and read a book related to that week's theme! These classes are between 30-45 minutes long (most are closer to 30).
During our live classes we get together with our fellow classmates in our private Zoom classroom to learn and play together to help foster communication, manners (listening, taking turns talking, etc.) and true friendships. These classes are 30 minutes long.
Little ones attention spans are very short, this is why we keep our classes short as well. You will be amazed at just how much learning can go on in a 30 minute class!
Registration for each new school year begins March 1st. Classes begin the Monday after Labor Day in September and go through the end of April with optional summer classes available to continue their learning throughout the summer months!
Because I understand how busy life can be, I try to keep things as simple for you as possible. Most classes will use things you probably already have around the house. Occasionally we will use something you might need to pick up on your next trip to the store, but you will always have an updated supply list ahead of time. Each student will also receive a Welcome Kit at the beginning of the school year with many of the items they will be using during class.
Having access to a printer is vital as there will be things each week that will need to be printed off for the student.
Only if you want to be! Some parents or caregivers want to be involved in the fun of our classes, and others use class time to take a few minutes for themselves to relax or get things done. Either way is fine with me!
Naturally, some activities may require some grown-up help, but most of our time together in class can be done independently, depending on the age and ability of the student.
Good! You SHOULD be worried about your little ones being exposed to too much screen time! Children should spend the majority of their time playing, building, reading, and exploring outside!
Our classes are on a safe, ad-free platform and are kept to no more than 45 minutes (most often no more than 30 minutes) for two reasons: little ones attention spans are short, and we want their "screen time" to be a time of fun and learning! To make class feel even less like screen time, try casting to a larger screen, like a TV!
At Treehouse Online Academy we focus on developing all the important skills your little one should be learning in a fun, engaging, hands-on way!
