The Academy of Holly Tree Gap

I love this place! I take my baby here and he is so taken care of. They tell me the time of every diaper change, what it was, the time of every bottle and how much he drank and they tell me what he did throughout the day to develop his fine and gross motor skills. The entire staff is very welcoming and the building is very clean. I am very impressed and my baby is so happy. 🥰

Holly Tree has been such a blessing to our family, I cannot even express that enough. Our son started daycare at 10 months at another childcare center and had a horrible experience-He was having a rough time transitioning from staying at home to being in daycare and we were basically told it wasn't going to work. Long story short, we heard about Holly Tree and were thrilled there just so happened to be an opening. Our son had an immediate positive response to Holly Tree--complete opposite of the previous place. He adjusted quickly and started napping phenomenally (one of the biggest issues at the previous place). He (and we!) loves all of the teachers.. Ms. Caroline and Ms. Mallory have been so reassuring to us and completely understanding to our worries due to the issues we had previously. Our son is learning so much at school (Ms. Bea is amazing!) and he is comfortable there! I can't tell you how much stress and anxiety that have been removed from our lives just knowing he is there and in such good hands. With all that being said, I HIGHLY recommend Holly Tree. I love that they serve healthy food (that our son loves!), they have ample outside/play time, and they learn so many things--especially Christian values. The app they use to keep parents updated is awesome--We can check how he eats, his nap times, diaper changes, and see pictures and videos all throughout the day. We are so thankful to be a part of the Holly Tree family!

Our son started going to Holly Tree when he was an infant and we have always received the absolute best care from day one! I don't feel like it is fair to call Holly Tree a 'day care' - as it is so much more than that! Holly Tree is a community where our family belongs, a school where our son continues to grow and learn and thrive. The teachers are kind, caring, loving, and they genuinely care for their kids. Ms. Sara has been our son's teacher and she is absolutely amazing! I have never had any issues that were not brought to our attention (i.e. small bump/accident report), as their office staff does a superb job at keeping parents updated on everything! The management team (Caroline and Mallory) are true professionals and have created an amazing and positive culture at Holly Tree! I highly recommend this school!!

Holly Tree has been a blessing to my family and I am so thankful that we found this school. I did a lot of research before my son was born and there are a lot of great schools in the area. However, having a Christian based curriculum was very important to me without wanting to sacrifice his education in a full time setting. My son started at 4 months and is now almost 2. He is thriving and loves going to school every day. As a mom, it helps me immensely to know that not only is my son learning a great deal, he's having fun and making friends. The previous director, Erica was fantastic and the new director, Tia has been a wonderful addition (the co-director, Jennifer is great, as well!). My son is currently in Ms. April's class and she is wonderful. Being a teacher is truly a calling and Ms. April has the gift! She is patient, knowledgeable and caring. My son wakes up every day talking about her! Holly Tree works hard at providing a well rounded curriculum including music, sciences, nature, art, reading, etc. They provide breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack every day and have been wonderful at accommodating my son's restricted diet. Of course, no place is ever perfect but they work hard at being transparent in communication and constantly improving and adding new programs/events. Choosing the right school for your child is a HUGE decision and I highly recommend Holly Tree!
