Little Tree Huggers (LTH) is the most highly acclaimed nature-based Preschool in the United States. A partnership of bilingual environmental educational initiatives founded in Leesburg, Virginia, we are dedicated to breaking down barriers to Sustainability in all areas of society. Together with Little Tree Huggers Earth Center, our nonprofit, nondenominational environmental educational initiative focused on growing the LTH family, we are committed to setting the example for Sustainability education world-wide.

Since 2015, Little Tree Huggers has operated our licensed, home-based preschool for ages 2 ½ – 5. With a nature-based, bilingual educational curriculum, our students enjoy the benefits of learning to care for rescue animals and the world around them in addition to core subjects. 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.

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