Dear Tree House InvestiGators,

Parents worry about the first day of kindergarten. They aren’t sure what their children need to know, the right way to teach, or how to prepare for this important milestone. This anxiety is universal. It applies to parents who work outside the home as well as to those who stay home full time; it impacts children who attend preschool and those who do not; and it affects homeschool families as well as those who plan to attend private or public schools. Parents don’t have a lot of time, and they really don’t want more “stuff” to prepare, step on, clean up, and throw away.

In just 10–15 minutes a day, a few times a week, the award-winning Dilly’s Tree House will help you transform family time into a fun, face-to-face learning experience. Just open your monthly Tree House box, pull out the beautifully designed learning tools, choose the activity you want to do, and instantly engage in a curiosity-driven educational activity with your child. Whoosh! It’s simple.

As a former kindergarten teacher, an education publisher, mother of three girls, and grandmother of four young children, I understand the challenges of choosing the best learning product or gifts for preschoolers. After all, I have shopped for hundreds of birthday and holiday gifts through the years. And, I have soothed lots of “first day of school” nerves.

One thing I know about those fears is that a small amount of effective preparation can make the difference between a good experience and a tearful disaster. And whichever way it goes, you and your child will most likely remember that day forever. It’s a big deal.

So my goal for Dilly’s Tree House was to create a product that would help parents and grandparents prepare young children for school – easily, flexibly, and without stress.

Our team of early childhood experts, teachers, parents, and children all contributed to developing and testing an effective kindergarten readiness system, complete with adventure stories, durable materials, and quick activities to inspire families to play and learn together.

A subscription to Dilly’s Tree House is the ideal gift for any young child between the age of 3 and 5. And parents will appreciate receiving a valuable learning product that is manageable and easy to work into their busy schedules.

Every month your child will be thrilled to receive the next Tree House box addressed to him or her with a special Tree House Treasure inside. You can start the subscription any time, and your child will always receive Box 1 first and get the following boxes in sequential order.

As a parent, you will feel confident knowing that the research-based activities help your child develop a love of reading, learn to solve problems creatively, and think like a scientist. With each box, your confidence will grow, as your child becomes a better prepared, more secure, and joyful learner.

I hope you and the children in your life enjoy Dilly’s Tree House as much as our team enjoys working on it every month.

Have a Dilly of a Day!
