The Curtis Wilson Story
Curtis Wilson Primary School and Academy became an extension of Beech Tree House Center for Child Development, Inc. founded by Lynda Strauser Haywood in 1978 to serve children, their families, and our community. A mother of six and pediatric nurse by profession, Lynda blended her expertise in child development with her intuitive warmth for the entire family. Her genuine love of children and firm belief in providing stimulating learning experiences inspired the unique mission and philosophy of both our early childhood and elementary programs. Curtis Wilson Primary School and Academy was founded in 1995 and is named for Lynda’s much loved uncle and gifted teacher, Curtis G. Wilson.
