Recent parent reviews

  • Both of my kids have been attending since they were 3 years old, starting in the 3K and Pre-K programs. They’ve continued going there for afterschool and summer programs as well, which really shows the level of trust we have in the staff and how the programs are run. The teachers and staff are caring, attentive, and truly invested in the kids’ growth. They help with homework after school and also support the older children in preparing for state exams, which has been incredibly helpful. Overall, Appletree has been a dependable, supportive, and positive place for our children over the years. Highly recommend! ⭐️🍎😊

  • Apple Tree Day care is such an amazing place to send your toddler. The staff are very welcoming and care about each individual child and their needs. I recommend Apple Tree Day care for any parent looking to exceed their child's education and learning ability. This place was a perfect choice for my toddler. Thank you to all the staff Miss Jessica, Miss May and Miss Lee in making Apple tree Day care great!!

  • My children have been attending Apple Tree Day Care for a combined 6 years. As all children, they started with fear and apprehension, but it quickly dissipates within a few days. The staff are genuinely friendly, welcoming and caring. Quality nutritious cooked meals are provided, that my children prefer over my own. The teachers strive to develop an early educational environment and structure to prepare children for school. In addition, they provide updates of daily activities and maintain contact with parents. As parents, being given that feeling of safety and security, of dropping off your kids for a whole day, knowing that they are having fun, eating well and learning, is what Apple Tree Day Care provides.

  • I cannot recommend Apple Tree enough! My boys have been students there for two years now, 3K and PreK. From the moment we walked through the doors, the staff made us feel like family. They go above and beyond to make sure every child is treated with kindness and respect. The teachers genuinely care about each child's individual needs, taking the time to support their development and create a nurturing environment. One of the things that sets this center apart is the constant communication. The teachers regularly send updates and pictures throughout the day, which helps ease any concerns and lets us see how much fun and learning our boys are having. It's clear that the staff is dedicated not only to educating but to building strong relationships with both the children and their families. We are so grateful to have found a place where our child is truly cared for and thrives. A special shout out to the 3K teachers- Ms Jessica and Ms May. Thank you for all that you do and for genuinely caring and loving both Yusuf and Bilal. Also thank you to Mrs. Rita and Ms. Jasmine for continuing to help Bilal thrive and become the best version of himself. You are all so appreciated.

  • My son has been going to Appletree since 3 years old and now he is turning 8. My daughter has been going to Appletree since 2 years and 3 months. Both of them love the environment and the learning experience. Appletree offers a supportive environment for learning and building friendships. The teachers and Director Chen are very attentive and caring, and it truly feels like a community. We feel like family there. Not only does Apple tree has a focus on learning, they also provide healthy food and snack choices. We are very happy with their services and will keep my kids there for as long as they can attend.

  • My older daughter is just graduated from apple tree daycare and my second daughter is currently enrolled at the this school, I will definitely sent my third one to this school! The teachers are very kind and concerned about not only the kids daily life, but also they are really taking serious about the kids learning skills. My daughters learned so much things and once they graduated from this school, they have very good preparation for kindergarten!!
