Welcome to Treehouse Learning & Development, where we are committed to bringing educational opportunities to community-based organizations. Our expertise lies in literacy instruction, and we also offer instruction in other subjects such as math, science, and social studies.

This summer, we are thrilled to offer opportunities to students attending summer camp in both the city of Chicago and the South Suburbs. We understand that the summer break can lead to a loss of academic progress made throughout the school year, and our mission is to help close this gap by keeping students engaged and learning all summer long.
