🌳✨ Welcome to Skye's Treehouse ✨🌳

At Foothills, the Treehouse is a special space designed to help students regulate emotions and reset when they need it most.

This calming room is all about Zones and self-regulation. Students can:
🛖 Relax in our cozy teepee
🧸 Visit the calming corner
🤸‍♀️ Bounce out extra energy on the trampoline
📚 Focus in a secluded workspace

We also practice simple breathing techniques to help students slow down, refocus, and return to learning feeling confident and in control.

The Treehouse reminds our students that it’s okay to have big feelings — and that they have tools to manage them.
