About This coach

m Dr. Deborah “Deb” Zupito, a Master Parenting Coach through the Jai Institute for Parenting and an early childhood educator with more than twenty years of experience working with children and families. I am also the Executive Director of Little Learning Academy, a private preschool community where I have spent nearly two decades supporting the social, emotional, and developmental foundations that shape children’s lives.

My coaching is grounded in both research and real-life experience. I believe that when parents understand how the developing brain and nervous system work, parenting becomes less about reacting and more about responding with connection, clarity, and confidence. My goal is to help parents feel supported while building strong, respectful relationships with their children.

Through my work with Treehouse Minds, I provide coaching, writing, and resources for parents and educators focused on emotional intelligence, prosocial development, and nervous system regulation. I am passionate about helping families move out of cycles of frustration and into calmer, more connected homes.

When I am not coaching or working with families, I enjoy reading, researching, crocheting, and journaling. I also love traveling, spending time near the water, and exploring new places with my family.

What Makes THEM Special?

I am Dr. Deborah “Deb” Zupito, a Jai Parenting Master Coach, early childhood educator, and founder of Treehouse Minds. I am also the owner and Executive Director of Little Learning Academy, a high-quality private preschool that I have led for 18 years. I remain deeply hands-on in the daily life of the school, working closely with children, families, and educators.

Through more than two decades of experience, I bring both practical insight and developmental science to my coaching. I blend neuroscience, child development, and relationship-based parenting to help families better understand the science behind children’s behavior and emotional development. My work focuses on helping adults build awareness of their own nervous systems, because when parents regulate themselves, children borrow that regulation.

As both a parenting coach and school leader, I offer a perspective that bridges home and school. I support families in understanding typical development, navigating challenging behaviors, and building strong, emotionally connected relationships that grow with their child.

Through Treehouse Minds, I help families build calm, connected, and resilient foundations that support children for years to come.
