Owners

Sam and Maria George are the owners of Enchanted Treehouse Academy. Sam is a physician and Maria is the director of the center. The couple resides in Holmdel, NJ with their three young boys. Maria's diverse background includes earning 4 master degrees one of which is in childhood education and another is an MBA, among two more. Her favorite college years were while she attended Georgetown University and American University in the nation's capital of Washington D.C. Maria has a combined 20+ years as an educator ranging from early childhood learners all the way up to college students. She is also a NJ licensed CPA, which she puts to good use in her admin duties at Enchanted Treehouse Academy. However, when you ask her, she will tell you that she is partial to caring and teaching her preschoolers, as she finds them to be naturally curious and excited to learn. They are also great investigators and discoverers! Both Sam and Maria are ecstatic to own and run their very own childcare center and develop their own unique ways of teaching young children which is something that is constantly evolving. A variety of enrichment classes and summer camps are being added and more is in the works.
