Contribute to a child's future!

In Knox County, 30% of households with children are single-parent families and 60% with children under five are below the poverty line, according to the 2020 Census. Affordable, high-quality trauma-responsive early education is critical.

Low-income families across our community need developmental options with expanded hours for their children.

As a non-profit organization Olive Tree relies on our generous community for donations and grants to supplement the cost of providing high-quality trauma-responsible early education to all families in Knoxville regardless of income.
