Plant a Seed with Little Tree Huggers!

Please continue to help the Nation’s most highly regarded bilingual, nature-based preschool grow and impact the lives of hundreds of more children and families! Our rain-or-shine outdoor learning environment needs to be accessible to as many children as possible!!!

2023 was spectacular for Little Tree Huggers (LTH). Your generous support helped us secure 4 additional acres of nature preserve and allowed us to double our capacity! As if that weren’t enough, LTH received Loudoun County’s first Small Business Sustainability Award along with the U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School Award!

LTH is a partnership of bilingual environmental educational initiatives founded in Leesburg, Virginia and dedicated to breaking down barriers to Sustainability in all areas of society.  

LTH Earth Center, is a nonprofit, nondenominational environmental educational initiative focused on growing the LTH family, and is committed to setting the example for Home-Based Sustainability education world-wide.

LTH LLC initiated operations in 2015 as a home-based Preschool, licensed by the Virginia Department of Education to operate with a maximum of 12 children, ages 2 1/2 to 5. Due to an overwhelming response to our curriculum and award winning environmental commitments, like solar and geothermal, we were urged by the local community to embark on the process of expanding LTH into an environmental educational initiative able to impact the lives of hundreds of more children and families.

​

LTH Earth Center was incorporated in 2020 as the charitable arm of LTH LLC and, in conjunction with LTH Franchising LLC, is working tirelessly to set the example for Sustainability education world-wide!

LTH Earth Center's Mission is to create more access and equity in the Sustainability Education space by assisting families embarking on the home-based Sustainability Education journey, providing scholarship opportunities for lower to middle income families and helping to feed LTH's growing animal rescue population.

Our mid-nineteenth century bank barn remains the location for all ceremonies, family gatherings, and training!

​

 WHAT WE DO:

  

LTH offers a five day a week, rain or shine nature-based educational curriculum out of two adjacent classroom locations:

​

20583 Gleedsville Rd. and 40337 Gap Rd. in Leesburg, VA

​

Each classroom is licensed for 12 children, ages 2 1/2 - 5, 12 months out of the year!  That means we operate year round, only closing for National Holidays, Winter and Spring Break, Summer Break (the first two weeks of every July) and the last week in August, for teacher training. (See our Programs Tab and Parent Teacher Handbook for details.)

​​

Our goal is to inspire children, their families and even local businesses to connect with nature, care for the environment and celebrate the diversity of our multicultural world. To this end, parents are strongly encouraged to conduct 8 hour of community service at LTH per year.

​​

We believe that an eco-green environment is essential for the development of healthy minds and bodies. LTH’s unique nature-based model, coupled with plenty of surrounding nature, comfortably and uniquely creates an excellent foundation for your child’s future education. 

​​​

Children enrolled at LTH spend 75% of their time outdoors daily!​
