About The Treehouse School

Hello and welcome to the NEW Treehouse School of Portsmouth! We are a preschool educating children ages 2.9-5 years old, offering early morning and extended day programs for your convenience! Founded by Kristin Fichera, a private school educator from New York City, The Treehouse School prides itself on its progressive teaching methods.  Unlike any other school in the area, we believe that there isn't just ONE approach to learning.  That's why we have a hybrid philosophy.

So what does that look like?

Children learn best through imaginative play.  Exploration and peer interaction lay the foundation for a successful student. However, The Treehouse also believes that a child must have direct instruction in literacy and mathematics for his or her academic future.

Our Hybrid Philosophy

Incorporating our philosophy is at the roots of this treehouse, yet we NEVER lose sight of our #1 goal: Always have fun!
