The Learning Tree Store, a division of Ed Venture, Inc. supports educators with outstanding products, training, information and leadership.
The Learning Tree Store was established in 1987 with retail stores located in Danvers and Stoneham, MA. The Learning Tree Store, Danvers, MA was opened in 1987 by Virginia Mullahy and Jan Plourde. With the help of family and friends, The Learning Tree Store grew gradually over the years to become the
In 1992, the partnership
was purchased by Jan and Herb Plourde.
Together,
they opened The Learning
Tree Store in In order to meet the needs of the community and the changing field of education, The Learning Tree Store proudly offers graduate level courses in association with area colleges and consortiums from early childhood to the high school levels. The Learning Tree Store is recognized nationally for its leadership in the field of teacher training, educational expertise, its publications and website, tltree.com. As an off-shoot of the on-site teacher workshops, this small business was a catalyst for organizing the first Four College Conference as a collaborative of Endicott, Gordon, North Shore Community and Salem State Colleges’ education departments.
While "No Child Left Behind" policies altered the world of teacher
conferences radically, The Four College Conference
adjusted to the needs of the time, and evolved into the annual
Legacy of Teaching
Institute for Early Childhood Educators. The Legacy of Teaching
Institute is made up of an all-volunteer committee of dedicated area teachers who bring
outstanding contributions to the field of early childhood education.
As the company approaches its 22nd anniversary, The Learning Tree Store will continue it's commitment to offering the best in the field to parents, teachers and other education professionals through its stores, online presence and global thinking. The Learning Tree Store works closely with area schools, organizations and community efforts to help make the world a greener place.
The Learning Tree Store
continues its long time tradition, in the annual summer tent sale, where items that do not have enough sales history
are marked down for bargains that are truly amazing. People often ask what
happens to the stuff that does not sell even at the tent sale... Our
donations are sent world wide to orphanages in Nepal, Honduras, Mongolia
and Africa. Within the United States, our donations have been made to the
victims of Hurricane Katrina, Boston inner city schools and libraries
and the Woburn Council of Social Concern.
Jan Plourde,
M.Ed., President and Co-Founder of The
Learning Tree Store, spent the first 10 years of her professional career
in early childhood education working with young
children.
