I can not say enough good things about the overall care that my children receive at this center. The teachers and the Director are great, they are very helpful and very understanding to the children and their needs. The center is VERY clean and very well organized and each age group has their own rooms. I love the extra spaces, playgrounds, and especially the indoor play area- I have never seen one of those. My children never want to leave and that makes me feel great. I also love the security at the center, cameras throughout. Thank-you Apple Tree you made it very easy to go back to work!

My child has been attending Apple Tree for the last 6 months and he is in the infant room and I am VERY happy with the care that he receives. I am shocked with the negative review about the infant room because there is a seperation between cribs and play area and the entire center is VERY clean. There are seperate rooms for each age groups with the appropriate teachers for the amount of the children they have. I should know because I used to be a daycare teacher before getting an office job- so I know what to look for. Caring teachers, happy children, clean and learning environment- I have that at Apple Tree. I toured MANY MANY places and Apple Tree was the best place for my family.

I have had my child in this center for over a year and the center is VERY clean and NEVER are there children in rooms by themselves. Director is always on site and very caring to all the children. Teachers are very caring for the children and if ever a child is upset I always see them very attentive to them. I highly recommend checking them out. They are full for a reason and I am very happy that I am a part of this center.

Very Impressed! My daughter used the centers transition period and I have to say that it really helped- My daughter really did not speak very well and we had birth to three working with her and many schools that we visited explained that children will cry when you go and that she would be fine and many did not want me to stay or help my child get used to her new environment before the start date and I have to say that Apple Tree was the complete opposite. They allowed me to help my daughter make the transition and also opened my eyes to how organized and well run the center really is. The birth to three teacher also said that my daughter has made major improvements which makes me very happy about my decision not to mention how happy she is when I go and pick her up- she never wants to leave. Apple Tree is really a very loving and caring group of people!

Nice Center! I just started the center and I have to say that I am very pleased. My daughter and I took advantage of the schools transition period before her actual start date and I really think that it made all the difference. She is comfortable when I leave her and actually looks forward to going. She had been at another center and we did not have a very good experience- the other school did not allow us to visit and come and observe a class before she started and after a few months I removed her. She is a very different child at Apple Tree- the teachers were very helpful as well- including her in the activities and making her feel very welcome. This center really cares for the children and their families, I am glad that I found them. They really make it so much easier to go to work and feel at ease!

My children have been with Apple Tree for about 6 months now and I have to say that my family is also very happy. Great teachers, great atmosphere, great learning environment. Very different from the center they were at before. My 1 year old loves the indoor play area and my 3 year old loves the large outdoor areas- I love the curriculum. My children are busy all day long, they never want to come home at the end of the night! Thanks Apple Tree for making my children love school again.

Very Helpful! I am new to the area and being a working parent I needed a center for my child to attend while I am at work. I began calling many centers to speak with the Directors and left messages with all of them and Apple Tree was the only one to call me back- the same day!!!! The Director was very helpful with not only explaining the different types of programs that they offer but also explaining the school-age program that my child will need come fall . I went for a tour and I was very impressed. I loved the personal details that the center provides with making sure that the children are in a safe environment. Needless to say we joined Apple Tree and we are very happy! Thank-you Apple Tree for making our move into the area a good experience.

My daughter has been attending Apple Tree for two years and I couldn't be happier! She started out in the sprouts room and is now in the preschool room and for many parents who have trouble dropping their child in the morning, I do not have this problem- My daughter is so excited to go to school and see all her teachers and friends. If any, the only trouble that I do have at times is that she doesn't want to leave! All the teachers are extremely friendly. You can tell right away they really care for the children at the center. The director is also very much involved with the children, I especially enjoy when she tells me something cute that my daughter said or did that day at school. The center is also very clean. I popped in one day and witnessed the teachers cleaning every room and disinfecting all the toys. I am extremely happy at this center. And most importantly my daughter loves it!

Great Center! My child has been with this center for almost one year. And I am also a very happy parent. The school is very nice, clean and well organized. I went into many other centers and they felt very much like an institution, not what I was looking for at all. Apple Tree made me and my child feel very welcomed from the start. Thank-you Apple Tree we consider you an extended part of our family!

Great School! Very happy with the care that my child receives at this school. I am calling it a school because that is what it is. A place where the children are taught- not just watched. Where the teachers are actually involved with the children's day to day activities. My son has been at this school for about 2 years and will attend kindergarten in the fall. I am very confident that he is well prepared for that next step in his life- thanks to the Apple Tree school!

Will be missed! My family has been with Apple Tree for over 2 years and we are moving so we have to leave, and I have to say that I can not find any center that even comes close to Apple Tree- they set the bar really high. The teachers are great, school is clean and well kept, my children were always well cared for. We will truly miss this center. Thank-you Apple Tree for making my children's learning experience FUN!

Thanks Apple Tree! I was talking with a few of my friends about where they send their kids for daycare and I have to say that I was the only happy parent. All I could do is to tell them all of the positive experiences that I have had with my children at this center. Needless to say that they will be calling Apple Tree. So I have to say to say thank-you to Apple Tree. I am glad that I found a center that my family is happy with.

Unexpected Surprize! My child has been at this school for a little over 4 months and I have to say that I was surprized when I toured the school, it is a lot bigger than it looks on the outside and once I was in, I was impressed with how clean and organized the classrooms were. My daughter is in the older toddler room and I have to say that they have a main teacher in each classroom and this really helps-especially with the seperation process in the morning. I do have the same problem that other reviews have noted that my child never wants to leave at the end of the night. Thank-you Apple Tree I had just about given up looking for a place for my daughter and I am very happy to say that we intend to stay for a long time.

My friends kids went to Apple Tree- so I went to check the center out for myself and she was right, very bright and organized classooms. What I liked the most with the center was how clean and kept up the center was- love the indoor play area! Very nice teachers and the children from room to room seemed well cared for and happy- that is what impressed me the most. My child did not want to leave when we toured the school and now that we have signed him up he never wants to leave when I pick him up. We started with 2 days in the toddler room and he now attends 5 days he loves it so much. Apple Tree has made going back to work for me a lot easier, I know that he is happy and well cared for. Thanks Apple Tree:)

I just toured Apple Tree and I have to say I was very impressed. Nice and big classrooms and seperate rooms for each of the age groups. Teachers very friendly and really playing with the children not just watching them. I also loved the indoor play area- really did not find one in any of the other centers that I visited. Needless to say that I joined and I am very happy. I have been with the center for a little over 6 months and the Director and Teachers are very helpful. My daughter is in the toddler room and really enjoys going to school!

Great Center- Happy kids = Happy mom :) I also toured many centers before I chose Apple Tree! My children seemed the happiest when we visited this school. They weren't attached to me like the other centers- made me feel like they were comfortable with the teachers and the surroundings. I was pleasently surprised by the size of the school, much larger than it looks from the outside. Loved the indoor play area not to mention the bright classrooms that also caught my eyes as well as my childrens. We have been with the center for almost 10 months and I am glad that I can go to work everyday knowing that my children are well cared for. Thank-you Apple Tree!

Very happy with the care that children receive while at this school. Both are very eager to go to school and this makes me very happy. The teachers are always willing to lend a helping hand when needed. Very caring not fake! My family has been with this center for a little more than 2 years and we are very happy!

I was looking for a center that was like a home away from home. Just the right size for my child and I found it at Apple Tree- not to big, not to small but just right. Great indoor and outdoor areas. Also very clean. I read the other review- seriously window sills. The Director and the teachers are great with the children and the children are always busy and happy. I am glad that my child is at this school and I am always impressed with the cute art projects and daily writing sheets that my child comes home with.

I did my homework when looking into a center for my daughter and have to say that Apple Tree was the best fit for my family. I was worried because we had just moved into the area, so she had to get used to a new home and a new school -but she got adjusted to the center rather quickly and I feel that this was part of the teachers interacting with her on our visits and with the Director making us feel very welcome. My daughter talks up a storm- the curriculum is packed with fun things every week and this keeps it interesting for her. She is almost potty trained and I have the toddler teachers to thank for that. She is always coming home singing a new song and telling me all the fun she had at school. I just love that Apple Tree made our move into the area a positive one. We are expecting another one soon and we are once again glad that our baby will join the center as well. I highly recommend Apple Tree!
