  • I am profoundly grateful to Apple Ridge Academy for the wonderful care their exceptional team provides to my daughter. The staff is genuinely engaged with the children, always attentive and involved even taking the time to play alongside them. My daughter has never been happier, and I wholeheartedly trust this academy.

  • Love apple ridge. The staff is amazing and so knowledgeable. My daughter loves being there and learns so much while she’s there. As a pediatric OT, I was very nervous that she wouldn’t get exposure to a variety of fine motor, gross motor, cognitive and sensory experience needed for development if I put her in daycare. Apple ridge does an amazing job incorporating all aspects of development so that I’m never worried. They also take pictures and keep you posted throughout the day so I never feel like I don’t know what’s going on. They have been so amazing and safe during covid as well. My daughter never got covid and her class never had to shut down due to exposure.

  • We have had children at Apple Ridge Academy for the past 4 years and have never been let down. They have a fully structured day based on the overall learning and socialization of the kids which in no doubt has set up our kids for a successful transition into K5 and beyond. You truly get what you pay for at Apple Ridge. GREAT WORK teachers and staff!!

  • This is our 2nd year at Apple Ridge and we are beyond happy and impressed with everything & everyone! My daughter absolutely loves it there & can’t wait to go every day. The teachers and staff are amazing and go above & beyond. I love the photos and updates I receive daily. I would highly recommend! We love our ARA family!

  • My son has been going to Apple Ridge since he turned 2, after being home with me since birth. He will be 3 soon, and I am thankful for his "School Family" every single day. He has learned so much, and loves his teachers and friends. The photos and daily notes they send every day are wonderful! I've recommended this center to many people!

  • We have been at Apple Ridge Academy since 2013 and wouldn't go anywhere else. All three of our children have attended from the time they were infants on. Our oldest is now in elementary school and was more than prepared for kindergarten. She always looks forward to returning in the summer and begs to go back on her days off from school so she can reunite with old friends. We have attended in both full-time and part-time capacities and Apple Ridge has always been very accommodating to our changing needs. The teachers and administration staff are excellent. The facility is excellent, and you won't find another daycare or preschool in the area with a nicer outdoor play area. The children are happy and the families are very friendly. Apple Ridge feels like a second home to us.

Questions parents ask about APPLE RIDGE ACADEMY

Is APPLE RIDGE ACADEMY a licensed child care provider in Wisconsin?

APPLE RIDGE ACADEMY holds Wisconsin licence 3000585353-003, listed as "LICENSED" by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families in Waukesha County, licensed since 2021-10-04. Confirm current standing on the state's provider search at childcarefinder.wisconsin.gov before enrolling.

What is APPLE RIDGE ACADEMY's YoungStar rating?

YoungStar rates APPLE RIDGE ACADEMY 5 stars out of five. The rating covers staff education, the learning environment, business practices and child well-being, not inspection outcomes, and it is separate from the licence.

What are APPLE RIDGE ACADEMY's hours?

The state directory lists 06:00 AM-06:00 PM, Jan-Dec, full time. Wisconsin records the daily window but not which days it applies to, and hours change without the licence record changing, so call ahead.

What ages does APPLE RIDGE ACADEMY take?

The licence covers 6 weeks to 13 years. That is the span Wisconsin licenses the provider for, not a list of the rooms it runs, so ask which age groups it is actually staffing.

Does this page show inspection results for APPLE RIDGE ACADEMY?

No. Wisconsin publishes licensing violations for each provider, and none of them are included here, so nothing on this page reflects APPLE RIDGE ACADEMY's inspection history either way. Read the violation record on the state's provider search at childcarefinder.wisconsin.gov.
