Located on the campus of Christ Church, Greentree Christian School provides a unique learning environment rooted in Christian values, inclusive education, and whole-child development. With small class sizes, passionate teachers, and a robust curriculum that blends faith and foundational skills, the Kindergarten program at Greentree is designed to help children grow in confidence, curiosity, and Christ’s love.
“Children thrive when they’re actively engaged,” says Kindergarten teacher Tracy Guenther Ritch, a veteran educator with more than 30 years of experience. “We create an environment where learning feels joyful, purposeful, and deeply personal. Every child matters here.”
What Makes Greentree Kindergarten Special?
- Small Class Size — With 18 students or fewer, every child receives the attention they need to flourish.
- Faith-Filled Curriculum — Daily Bible lessons, chapel, and Christian principles are woven into all aspects of learning.
- Developmentally Appropriate Learning — Children explore reading, math, science, art, and music through tactile, hands-on experiences.
- Inclusive Environment — In partnership with Christ Church’s Inclusive Ministry, Greentree welcomes children of all abilities with warmth and support.
- Extended Care Options — Before- and after-care available from 7:30 AM to 5 PM, making it easier for working families.
Greentree’s teaching methods reflect an understanding that each child learns in their own unique way. From structured routines to creative exploration, students are guided through milestones in a loving, supportive space. And with a two-teacher model, every student receives ample guidance and connection.
“We’re not just preparing children for first grade,” says Mrs. Ritch. “We’re helping them build a foundation for lifelong learning and strong, Christ-centered character.”
