Your Child Gets A Head Start For The Coming School Years
PRE-K | 4 Years | Serving Gardnerville & Reno, NV
An Early Start With Family & Kindness
Your child enjoys the family-feel they get when they learn in a converted home that now acts as a classroom. They also get showered with tons of love and attention from kind teachers, so they feel comfortable every step of the way.
Reggio-Inspired Lessons Blend Seamlessly With Proven Curricula
Teachers hand-craft lessons that fit your child’s learning style to help them develop at their own pace. A Reggio-inspired approach blended with the Frog Street© and Zoo-phonics® curricula gives them the skills they need to excel in their next steps.
Play-Based Learning Gets Kids Ready For Kindergarten
Your child’s days are full of fun, exciting play-based activities that focus on literacy, early math, science, self-care, and social-emotional development. They are engaged and eager to get to school and see what each new day brings.
Frog Street© Helps With Early Reading Skills Now
The proven, research-backed Frog Street© curriculum delivers fun-filled lessons on letters, phonics, reading, and writing so your child becomes a confident, kindergarten-ready reader. Early literacy opens the door to a life-long love of learning!
Social-Emotional Learning Is A Part Of Their Lesson Plan
Your little one learns how to communicate their needs and feel comfortable in social settings with new friends. Their teacher models empathy and appropriate school behaviors, and reinforces the confidence-boosting skills that help them master big emotions.
A Parent App For Updates, Communication, & More
Teachers send you pictures of your child in action, videos of them playing, and real-time updates via your easy-to-use parent app. Thanks to the messaging feature, you’re able to communicate with teachers directly and settle questions instantly.
Enrichments Like Cooking Teach Real-Life Skills
Learners at Gardnerville enjoy regular cooking lessons that teach housekeeping skills like tidying and washing up, basic math and measurement, plus how to work independently or as part of a team, all while bringing out their inner master chef.
Outdoor Play Supports Healthy, Happy Growth
Your child runs, jumps, and explores the huge play yard and garden, where they burn off energy and get valuable exercise. They love the time with their friends in the fresh air; you love that they’re active and social.
Nutritious, Yummy Food Keeps Your Child Healthy
At Gardnerville, your child enjoys a delicious, nutrient-rich breakfast, lunch, and snack every day, so they stay happy, focused, and energized for learning. Mealtimes are a fantastic opportunity to practice manners and social skills at the table.
State-Of-The-Art Security Keeps Kids Safe & Sound
You’re confident that your child is secure from drop-off to pick-up with touchless check-in via ProCare©, secured entrances, and a highly trained staff team. You have peace of mind to go about your day, knowing your child is safe and sound.

Hear What Parents Have To Say...
"I highly recommend them to every parent I talk to. The staff is fantastic."
We were really picky about what kind of preschool we wanted our son in. We wanted one that valued manners, outdoor play, sharing, and creative thinking—no screens, safe, comfortable, etc. Upon learning of Under The Magic Pine Tree and taking the tour, we knew we found our preschool! After, my son came home with cute songs, fun crafts, great sharing skills, and patience—confirming that we had made the right choice with Under The Magic Pine Tree! I highly recommend them to every parent I talk to. The staff is fantastic. The app is very insightful and user-friendly, so you can watch what your kid does throughout the day. I can't recommend Under The Magic Pine Tree anymore! Absolute favorite! 
"This place is a hidden gem! My daughter has been going to UTMPT since she was 9 months old."
This place is a hidden gem! My daughter has been going to UTMPT since she was 9 months old. The curriculum is amazing. She has learned so much. They hold monthly parent education nights and give tips on common parenting issues. We have tried to adopt a similar schedule on the weekends and have seen a huge improvement in behavior at home (terrible twos 🙃). Everyone is so kind there. My daughter loves all the staff. The owners are continually making physical improvements to the daycare. They have added new flooring, a vegetable garden, and a new obstacle course just last year. The Procare© app keeps me updated on what my daughter did all day, her diapers, and her food intake, and they send lots of pictures and videos. I can't give this place enough praise! 
"The owner and staff are always very kind. My son loves to go there!"
They have a great curriculum, an easy-to-use app that shows pictures and explains activities throughout the day, and the facilities are very clean. My kiddo is always healthy, and they are always sanitizing and organizing. Also, the owner and staff are always very kind. My son loves to go there! 
"My daughter adores her teachers in her classroom; they are patient and kind and practice techniques with her to manage all her big feelings."
My daughter started here around 2 years old, and we’ve had such a positive experience! My daughter adores her teachers in her classroom; they are patient and kind and practice techniques with her to manage all her big feelings. The school provides food (so helpful!), and they’ve even gotten her to eat vegetables! The staff is caring, helpful, and flexible. My daughter is making great friends there, and we’re so happy we found UTMPT. Highly recommend! 
"I could not ask for a better childcare facility for my son."
Under The Magic Pine Tree is an amazing place for child care! My 3-year-old son has been going for over a year and loves attending school! Everyone is so nice and welcoming, and the school is very clean! I could not ask for a better childcare facility for my son. It’s more than just child care. They teach them so much and have educated teachers! 
"I could go on and on about how great this facility and its staff are."
My son has done nothing but learn and grow mentally since he started. I'm so proud and love how they teach and handle the children—they are always kind and welcoming. They make it a habit to get to know parents, their names and faces. I love that they provide an app to check your child in and out for the day and give you regular updates throughout the day and occasional pictures! It was especially great when he first started. It really put me at ease as a parent. I could go on and on about how great this facility and its staff are. Thank you to my UTMPT Family for making our first-time daycare a great experience for over a year! 
"We see our daughter learn something new every day, and I attribute a large amount of that to UTMPT!"
My daughter has been going to UTMPT for about a year and a half, and our experience has been wonderful. The teachers are some of my daughter's favorite people, as she always talks about playing with them when she comes home. The lessons taught have helped both my daughter learn and grow and us as parents to continue the same practices at home. We see our daughter learn something new daily, and I attribute much of that to UTMPT! I genuinely feel this place is a gem! 
"They have professional, nurturing, compassionate, and supportive staff who deeply care about early childhood education and development."
They have professional, nurturing, compassionate, and supportive staff who deeply care about early childhood education and development. Children have plenty of opportunities to engage in creative play in and outside the classroom. This place is a beautiful addition to the community.

"Their dedication to their community sets them apart"
As a fellow child care center owner, I have had the opportunity to work in a professional group along side the owners of Under the Magic Pine Tree. Seeing how much time and hard work they invest in having a high quality center, it’s no wonder they have such amazing staff and program. Their dedication to their community sets them apart and shows they care deeply for the families they serve and the teachers they employ. I’m proud to have leaders like them in the Early Childhood Education industry.

"They have an awesome system the way the communicate with the parents"
My 5 yr old daughter loves UTMPT. They have an awesome system the way the communicate with the parents during the school day. The teachers there are the best! The way they implement hands on learning and play is a great way to make learning fun! Thanks to Under the Magic Pine Tree she will be moving on to Kindergarten comfortably.

"Highly recommend!"
My daughter started here around 2 years old and we’ve had such a positive experience! My daughter adores her teachers in her classroom; they are patient and kind and practice techniques with her to manage all the big feelings that come along with a 2 year old. The school provides food (so helpful!) and they’ve even gotten her to eat vegetables 🤣 The staff is caring and helpful and flexible. My daughter is making great friends there and we’re so happy we found UTMPT. Highly recommend!

My daughter has been going to UTMPT for about a year and a half now, and our experience has been wonderful.
