**About Us** Jessica Dixon and Alli Drinkard founded the Growing Tree Playcare & Preschool in 2013. After meeting at a home daycare as toddlers, Jessi and Alli became best friends immediately.

The Growing Tree philosophy is built on teaching compassion and social skills through play-based learning. At The Growing Tree, kids get to be kids! Children are given learning materials in which they can learn in their own ways, not forced to take part in any activity they are not interested in.
