Proud Of Our Affiliations That Prove Top-Quality Care

Hear What Parents Have To Say...

My wife and I placed our two boys in the care of Apple Tree Learning Center. Our boys come home with smiles on their faces and bring home activities that they completed during the day. The Staff is very friendly and they have always been open to answer any question we may have. For me, Security, Consistency, and Reliability are very important and I do believe the Apple Tree Learning Center has these trait.

We love The Apple Tree Learning Centers! The facilities are safe, clean, and well equipped. The staff, and particularly the owner, take the time to understand and accommodate your needs and/or concerns to make sure your child is receiving the best care possible. Our daughter is not only learning academic material but also acquiring social skills and core values that have made a difference in her overall development.

- Lidia Reza

My daughter has been going to Apple Tree for over a year and a half. She is so excited to waking up early to get into class and be the teacher’s helper, she brings home new songs, and an ambitions style of energy and thanks to the support of her teachers my daughter is getting ready to an early enrollment in kinder garden, she already knows her colors, shapes, ABC’s, and writing her name. I recommend Apple tree to parents in need of a safe, friendly daycare/learning center.

- Lupita Acuna

My two daughters (ages 3 and 4) spent a year at Apple Tree before entering pre-kindergarten, and I have nothing but positive things to say about our time there. The teachers were wonderful about giving them individual attention and care, and they have a genuine interest in making sure the children are happy and healthy. We miss them and are so grateful to everyone there for taking such good care of our girls!

- Shannon Walker

My daughter has been here for 3+ years now and my son for 2+. The staff is consistent with my kids and provides a safe environment. Any concern I have taken to the director, has been acted on in a timely manner. My children love being here and have formed great relationships with their teachers. They've been great about helping potty train both of my kids. They serve healthy meals and keep the property very clean. I absolutely recommend Apple Tree Learning center.

- Kayla Yount

So far so good, my daughters first week and she loves it, Coming from a daycare she spent virtually her whole life at (4 yrs) & she loves it here. This place is clean & organized and fairly priced for similar ones in the area so with the cost for the area & size being similar, the good feeling I got from the environment and the employees is what made my decision easy. My daughter comes home happy & excited to go back which makes me feel good about my decision.
