It doesn’t matter what divides us today. No matter what your belief system tells you, there is only one indisputable truth. The children are our future and what we show them today, shapes the future for the world.” – Christina Rubicco, Founder

Anna and Jack’s Treehouse offers top-quality child care and early education in New Rochelle, Norwalk, and at our newly established Pelham branch. We are an award-winning child care center with small teacher-to-student ratios so we can provide the highest quality care with more focused attention on each of our young learners
Who better to build a daycare center than a husband and wife team who joyfully celebrates parenthood? Rob and Christina Rubicco started the first Treehouse in the basement of their New Rochelle home and grew it into the top daycare center that it is now.
Building their first Treehouse for kids Anna and Jack, now 9 and 8, and sharing it with other kids have been a rewarding experience for Christina and Rob Rubicco. As the family grew and added twins Paul and Angelina into the fold, so did their Treehouse Daycare Village in New Rochelle.
Both the couple were successful professionals in their fields. Rob was a digital transformation and management consultant before opening the Norwalk Treehouse, while center director Christina was an NYC kindergarten school teacher, beloved by parents at The Treehouse for her dedication and passion that is reflected in each of their teachers.
Rob Rubicco and Christina have together built a village of Treehouse Preschools that have won the coveted Best of Westchester Award twice. Along with their 4 wonderful children, they have been awarded Family of the Year by the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
The New Rochelle Treehouse employs 21 teachers and has 72 Treehouse families. The original Treehouse continues the tradition of a tight-knit family of shared learning amongst its teachers and co-families.
The 11,000 square foot branch has 28 fully qualified members on its teaching staff at Anna and Jack’s Treehouse in Norwalk, CT. The spacious center has room for 121 students but decided to allow only 98 learners to be on the student roster to maintain the small group ratio of teachers to students.
Newly opened just last August 2021 to serve the community in Pelham is the 10,000 square foot AJ Treehouse Early Learning Center that has 25 teachers aiming to accept 80 enrollees only to follow the quality over quantity vision of all Anna and Jack’s Treehouse Daycare locations.
Christina Rubicco is the owner of Anna and Jack’s Treehouse and a proud member of the community. Before establishing the Treehouse daycare, she was a kindergarten teacher for over eight years. At Iona College, she earned her MA degree in Literacy in Education. Our passionate teachers at New Rochelle Daycare offer an enjoyable and holistic learning environment.
Christina Rubicco is a B.S. graduate of Early Childhood and Elementary Education and an M.A. graduate of Literacy in Education. A passionate and hands-on mother of four and a former kindergarten teacher, she worked with her husband and built Anna and Jack's Treehouse. Our new Rochelle Daycare, Pelham Children’s Center, Norwalk Daycare, and future expansion prove The Treehouse’s success.
Rob Rubicco began Anna and Jack's Treehouse with his spouse. Starting with home access in New Rochelle, the Treehouse Preschool grows with Pelham and Norwalk daycare and we're called the best of Westchester.

The Giving Tree Team

To understand the Treehouse philosophy, learn about our founders Christina Rubicco and Robert Rubicco. When Christina opened the first Anna & Jack’s Treehouse location in New Rochelle, it became clear to both her and Robert that a secondary mission of giving back to the community needed to be established.

10 years and three Anna & Jack’s Treehouse locations later, Christina and Rob Rubicco continue to make meaningful impacts in the local communities of New Rochelle, Pelham and Norwalk.

Christina Rubicco finished a master's degree in Literacy in Education at Iona College. She worked as a kindergarten teacher for almost 10 years. Committed to providing premium daycares in Norwalk, CT, and surrounding cities, she established Anna and Jack’s Treehouse with her husband. A 40 Under 40 and Women of Excellence award winner, she has made our children’s daycare fun and learning-focused.

Anna & Jack’s Giving Tree Philosophy

Children First

At every Anna and Jack’s Treehouse location, we have the unique privilege to learn from children who share the purest, most innocent experiences filled with life, love and laughter.

With a children-first approach to our philanthropic initiatives, Anna & Jack’s Giving Tree is dedicated to supporting causes that give children of today, the best possible tomorrow.

We teach our children the basic principles of supporting the community. By working with our local communities to showcase how a student’s individual effort makes a difference, we see results.
