At the Apple Tree Childcare & Preschool School, our philosophy is based on the belief that…
-
Children learn through hands-on activities

Children’s positive self-esteem is vital to all aspects of their development
-
Each child is a unique individual, proceeds at their own rate through predictable stages of development
-
A child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development are interrelated
-
Each child is a reflection of their own cultural and ethnic background
-
Each child is entitled to learn and develop according to their own style
-
Parents are the first and most important teachers of children, therefore, every effort will be made to include them in the program
Parent Testimonial:
Our daughter has been attending Apple Tree Childcare & Preschool since she was 2 years old. She is four years old now; prepared and ready to become a successful learner. Over the course of 2 years she has advanced so much in her writing, language, math, good manners, how she interacts with other children and most of all becoming a very dedicated student. She continues to surprise us all with her enthusiasm and passion to learn more. She challenges herself and works very hard every day. We proudly thank the staff at Apple Tree Childcare & Preschool, especially Miss Wilson, for our daughter’s success in school.
