THE LEARNING TREE Preschool was established in l984 by its founder and directress, Prof. Anna Francisca T. Castaneda, better known to children as “Teacher Francie”. A graduate of the University of the Philippines with degrees in B.S. Family Life and Child Development and a Master of Arts in Education; she has devoted her career as an early childhood educator for the past thirty years.

Upon the insistence of parents for fourteen years, Teacher Francie finally opened a Grade School Department in l998. Both schools are recognized by the Department of Education.

Rooted in the Belief that…

A child can think for himself. He uses his God-given resources to discover more than knowledge, but life itself. He probes his world around him with innate passion. His quest for answers, persistent. His gifts, uniquely his own.

THE LEARNING TREE Experimential-Integrative Approach to education nourishes this intrinsic make-up of the child. Classroom experiences are age-appropriate and emphasize the process of learning. Activities are integrated into the different subject areas so that the child learns to make real and meaningful connections between them. In this way, the child sees life as a whole.

The Vision for the Harvest …

You cannot hurry the growth of a tree.
Like a tree, a child can grow strong roots;
Warmed in the earth of acceptance;
Watered by the streams of knowledge and discipline;
Bathed in the sunlight of love;
Made to breathe the sweet air of creativity and freedom;


Thus, he gains wisdom confidence and strength
Grown to build up others and selflessly serve God and country.


-L. Lofranco-Berbano
