We have been incredibly impressed with the teaching philosophy, and curriculum. The owner combines the community into her studies, and the kids gain exposure into multiple facets beyond a traditional kindergarten. To name a few the kids visit Prescott Park regularly, take part in ice skating lessons, attend music lessons at Seacoast Rep, and many other adventures. We are very satisfied with the care, attention to detail, cleanliness, and enthusiasm. Highly recommend!

It is a great, smaller school with a very hands on, play approach to learning. A few months later he started school and hasn't had a bad day yet! My shy son is now 3 months in and opening up, he is always talking about how much he loves his school and his teachers. Ms Kimberly is amazing with the 3 year olds, I feel that she had truly taken the time to get to know my son and ensured that he is social with the other kids. He also loves Ms Danielle and Ms Kristin, they all go above and beyond for him. The school is very clean and the play areas changes with each lesson plans so the kids never get bored. I also love that they go outside everyday, rain or shine! This is truly a gem in Portsmouth and my son has opened up and learned so much already. I definitely recommend checking out The Treehouse School for your little one!

They don't cut corners and have a full range of creative ways to help the children learn and grow. The preschool and school room teachers are exceptional. Both my daughters were more than ready for public school education. The outdoor play areas are large and have a very natural feel to them... They go out every day, sometimes several times a day and they do that year round. The classrooms are always changing with projects and paint and a liveliness that makes a parent feel good about trusting their children in these caretakers hands. Truly a wonderful school.

That visit turned in to enrollment of our then 3 yr olds' first year of schooling. I haven't regretted this decision for a minute. I can honestly say there was not one morning that our daughter did not want to go school. Even when she was sick she would beg to go. The teachers are seasoned and experienced and mothers themselves (which makes a HUGE difference). They truly care about all the children. Every morning she was greeted with a hug and a "I'm so glad you're here today!" Positives: Small class size, field trips, caring experienced teachers, can't beat the price tag, extra morning hours and afternoon hours of care available, the special events they have i.e. Mother's Day concert and Xmas show are heart-warming. Only negative is she graduated a couple weeks ago and we miss it so much :-( We now consider our daughter fully prepared for kindergarten not only academically, but socially. She really came out of her shell and loved every minute of it. Thank you Agape.... I recommend to everyone looking for Portsmouth Preschool!!!
