Empowering Early Childhood Professionals with Tools for Success
Empowering Early Childhood Professionals with Tools for Success
With over four decades of experience in early childhood education and preschool leadership, The Preschool Source (TPS) is a trusted partner for educators, administrators, and childcare providers.
We offer consulting, training, curriculum development, professional development, and resources that help elevate early childhood programs and improve outcomes for young children and families.
From private preschool consulting to Head Start support, from literacy program design to comprehensive classroom strategies, TPS delivers personalized, practical, and research-based guidance. Our work is rooted in real-world experience and an unshakeable belief in the power of high-quality early learning environments.
Real Experience. Real Growth. Real Results.
For 15 years, we proudly owned and operated Oak Tree Academy, a private preschool and early learning center we built from the ground up. We started with just three children in a small classroom and a big vision. Within just a few short years, Oak Tree Academy grew to serve over 120 children — with a growing waiting list and a strong reputation for quality, care, and innovation.
That success didn’t happen by chance. It was the result of strategic planning, dedicated leadership, a strong understanding of child development best practices, and a deep commitment to excellence in early learning. We faced the same challenges many preschool owners and directors do — staffing, licensing, curriculum, enrollment growth, parent communication — and we developed systems and strategies that worked.
Now, we’re here to help you do the same.
