Welcome to The Treeline Enrichment Community!

A space where kids feel good about themselves while growing new skills.

Nature as an Important Ingredient to Childhood

Once upon a time, kids developed most of their skills through outdoor play. But today, it takes an intentional choice to get kids out in nature’s great classroom. Indoor activities, busy schedules, and constant screens mean many kids miss key outdoor opportunities for development and well-being. 

And that’s unfortunate, because outdoor experiences like sunlight, fresh air, dirt, and natural materials play a key role in the social, physical, and emotional development of kids.

At Treeline, we exist to bring essential outdoor experiences to kids and their families through immersive forest play and nature-connected occupational therapy — not just for fun, but for lifelong well-being.

The Treeline Approach To Working With Kids…

Whether we’re hosting forest play or therapy sessions, our approach stays the same: individualized support, strong parent partnerships, honest communication, and a deep belief that kids grow best when they feel safe, connected, and engaged.

Strength in Differences

Our approach honors the unique strengths and skills of all children. We embrace neurodivergent kids and their way of thinking, learning, and doing. This belief is reflected in using identity-affirming language and teaching styles.  In our therapy services, you’ll notice us focusing on the interests and strengths of each family and child. Our work is to build on these skills and use your strengths to help you thrive.

Growth Through Relationships

At the heart of everything we do is building relationships and connections. We prioritize creating the trust and sense of safety that kids need to be able to truly learn. In both therapy and forest playgroups, kids come together to practice social interactions in real-life situations. We’re dedicated to transparent communication with all parents and offer an extra level of collaboration for families engaging in therapy services. 

Learning Through Play

Play is at the core of every session or group. When a child is motivated to learn through play, nothing can stop them — not even the natural fear that comes with trying something new and hard. In a beautifully simple way, play allows your child to use their strengths and find the courage to work through challenges without a second thought.

Rooted in Nature to Support Growth and Wellness

Nature isn’t just where we work and play — it’s our active partner in helping kids build physical skills, adapt to change, process emotions, and promote childhood development and wellness. 

So be prepared before sending your child to hang out with us  — exploring natural elements can be a bit messy. In fact, we operate under the mantra — Embrace the Mess. This includes getting dirty or wet, stinky or tired. In exchange for a bit of mess, your child gets freedom to learn and memories they’ll never forget.

Also, our programming continues during all weather — heat, cold, rain, wind, and sun. Variable weather is a valuable part of our program opportunities, teaching kids resilience and flexibility across different conditions.

We’re a natural fit for families who value a different approach.

We know there are priorities and values outside of standard schooling options. In fact, the flexibility and self-directed nature of homeschooling fits right into how we serve families. 

We strive to provide support and ideas that align with either homeschooling or traditional educational options. There are so many different ways to learn, all supported by self-directed learning and the emotional benefits of time connected to nature. 

Sharing Our Values

  • Compassionate: We model care and compassion for living things and each other
  • Wonder: We seek to foster awe and curiosity for the world around us
  • Connections: Our work is grounded in social and nature connections
  • Sustainability: We show gratitude for the earth and consider sustainability in our use of materials, talents, and resources

Our Story

Treeline opened in 2019 with a simple mission: to help kids grow through nature, play, and connection. For years, that meant offering fully outdoor occupational therapy services and forest play programs, where children built confidence, resilience, and regulation under open skies and among the trees.

To meet the year-round needs of children receiving occupational therapy, in 2025, Treeline added an indoor-outdoor clinic. This thoughtfully designed space carries forward the heart of our nature-based approach while adding flexibility to move between indoor and outdoor areas.

Today, Treeline offers forest play groups in Plant City and OT services from our clinic in Lakeland.

Enrichment Forest Play

Forest Property | Plant City, FL

On a forested 10-acre property, children immerse themselves in adventurous play like swinging from trees, building forts, caring for bugs, or splashing through a seasonal creek. 

Forest Play Programs are provided by trained team members as enrichment and play opportunities for generalized skill development and well-being for all children. These programs are not occupational therapy.
