What Parents Have To Say

Alexis

We switched to Appletree Daycare #4 after a change in our previous care and the change has been nothing but outstanding! From the environment to the teachers and the way that my son is cared for - I can't begin to say enough great things about this location. If I had to summarize what I love most about this facility is the level of care you and your child receives from the minute you walk through the front door.

Carter

our family would like to pause and take a brief moment to simply share a tremendous THANKS to the entire staff and administration (top/down) for everything that each and every one of you do at this AppleTree Childcare Development Center (#4) for the children.

Chrissy

Appletree Day Care has been such a blessing to my family, I had to return to work after my second child was born and I was really apprehensive about it! But everyone at Appletree put my mind at ease. I love all of the programs that they offer and the fact that everyone here really seems to care so I know my children are in good hands. My kids love it too! that's the part that matters most! Thank you to everyone at Appletree. - Dana G. I absolutely love the Appletree Day Care Centers. My daughters are 3 and 5 and both have been going there since 6 weeks. They absolutely love the teachers and I absolutely love feeling confident when I drop them off each day. Excellent programs, superior staff!

Sara

Our child has been with Appletree for four years and at Appletree #2 for over a year. He has learned so much from Ms. Roshonda and he loves going to school every day! The director, Ms. Angie, is friendly and professional and creates a fun atmosphere for everyone. We tell all our friends about Appletree and the great experience we've had.

Johanna

These women were like extra mama's to my sweet boy for over 2 years. He was always excited to get there in the morning and quickly blossomed into a social butterfly, filled with curiosity and imagination. Stephanie is wonderful and deeply cares for all of the kids and parents she serves. We love Appletree #1!

Shakisha

I give Apple tree, five stars, because everyone there is nice, you’re greeted as soon as you walk in the door. Also the staff are very responsive, professional when I arrive and picked up my daughter “she looks safe,” happy, she’s cleaned up the way I dropped her off,also my daughter talks about her teacher Ms.Marian alot.
