Funshine Treehouse Preschool

Zoo Preschool

The Funshine Treehouse Zoo Preschool at Randall Oaks provides a child-led environment where children are encouraged to discover at their own pace. We offer a warm and supportive environment that promotes each child's social, emotional, and cognitive development. Learning about animals and nature is a discovery for our students every day.
