My son is extremely introverted and shy. He gets overwhelmed by large groups of people and can have a hard time opening up and getting comfortable with new people. He would cry every single day when we dropped him off at his old school. We expected it would take months for him to get used to his new teachers and friends at Appletree II. But after a few days, he was so excited for drop off! He comes home everyday with a new song he learned at school. He talks to us about all his friends at school. He practices the manners and amazing values he learned at school here at home. He loves his teacher like she’s family. And we, as parents, feel so informed about how’s he’s doing and what he’s learning each week. We love this school so much and it’s been the absolute best place for our son. We just had a second child and we’re just counting down the years to be able to send him to Appletree II as well. Take a tour of the school, meet Ms Annely (the Director), get a sense of the values and community there, and peek in a classroom and see how happy the kids are. You’ll love it, too.

My child went here for two years and we all loved it! She came home happy, chatty, confident, and exhausted. My daughter loved her teachers, and of course, the huge playground. In her second year we chose the lunch plan which made things so much easier for me. They have an easy system for paying online, and I really appreciated the building security and sign out (I don't understand what the previous parent is talking about - the building is locked down). My daughter made some wonderful friends while there, and we miss the Appletree staff. Thank you!

Absolutely NO !! The list of BIG NO for this school is very long.When I picked up my son from school I had nobody to tell that I just picking him up. SO huge security issue at least for me. Anybody can really get in and out with your kid. Afternoon staff are not the teachers. There are just volunteers who are not doing anything except sitting there. Kids either watch tv , do the puzzle or play outside. Kids after coming back from the playground are not going to the bathroom to wash their hands !!!! Big hygiene issue! They send them straight to the music room to watch TV until parents come and pick them up. For that much money watching TV bc " teachers" have to clean up the school and leave on time at 6 pm.?? Pretty pathetic!!! If your kid will have a toilet accident or get dirty on the playground don't expect they will change clothes. NOOO!! Shoes are not changed for the kids. And it doesnt matter if it its wet and snowy or dry outside. SO gross. The worst thing is that then kids are sleeping on the floor under the tables together with this dirt that they brought from outside. Teachers are fine. But the principle is only worry about money and filling the spot!!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO Anybody !!!!! I am so thankful we are not there anymore!

My son attended Appletree II for preschool and kindergarden. We could not have loved it more. We always felt he was safe, cared for, and disciplined appropriately. The only downside..if you can call it that..was that when he went to public school first grade he was more advanced than the other kids, not because he is brilliant but because of what he had learned at Appletree. It's a great start for your young one. Warning..get on the waiting list early.
