Apple Child Care has been nothing but incredible with my one year old son. He’s been enrolled for almost a year now. His teachers are great at updating me and my wife throughout the day. He gets so excited in the morning when he sees his teachers and friends and it makes me feel better knowing he has fun being there. I am very happy with this center.

I'm so glad I decided to put my child in Apple Care Child Center. When picking out a school for him to attend for pre-k, I was so nervous and aprehensive about the whole process. I had so many questions like what if they're aren't enough teachers, are they going to teach him anything or will he just play all day as if he's in daycare.. Is there going to be a good mix of race and nationalities within the other children attending (hoping that the school wasn't predominante in any specific race) Well, Apple Child Care Center turned out to be just what I was looking for. A great school, with professional, super friendly, knowledgeable and attentive staff/teachers. Also, there is a great mix of all sorts of races/nationalities within the other children attending. Exactly what I wanted. I wanted my child to grow/learn and socialize with children all of kinds of races/nationalities, so he would realize that everyone is the same, no matter their skin color, race or religious beliefs. Most importantly, I feel safe and comfortable leaving the most precious thing in my life with Apple Child Care Center everyday. The teachers truly do care for these kids and are eager to teach them new things and help them grow. I am so impressed with this school. All the staff/teachers are so kind and helpful. If there is anyone who leaves or left a bad review for Apple Child Care, it's definitely not because of the school. It's because they didn't ask the right questions and make sure the answers to them were very clear. For example, "Does my child have to be potty trained to attend here?" So please don't let their negative review have any impact on your decision when choosing a school for your child. Because you'll only end up regretting it.. Thank you Apple Child Care for all of your hard work and dedication to making sure these kids have a great start for their educational future..

My daughter has been attending here for the last year. She is 2 just turned 3. She has had nothing but a great experience even with her dairy allergy they are very involved with what she needs. There have been some issues with behaviors in the class but every time there was an incident to my child it was addressed and I received a report. My daughter has learned so much here and has been flourishing. I like how they hold parents and children accountable when it comes to keeping a safe environment. If she has a tough day I’m informed but it is very rare and she has grown into a sweet and loving toddler. I couldn’t thank her favorite teachers Ms. Becca and Ms. Jess enough for all they have done for her.

The staff is great and we are comfortable leaving our daughter there for eight or more hours every weekday. The director is attentive and is always willing to communicate. In summation, we are very satisfied with the school.

For me and my family personally we did not like this daycare at all and I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. The establishment is poorly run with a lot of lazy individuals in higher positions that don’t communicate well or make changes when issues are brought up. The biggest problem for me was the daycare not taking the kids outside almost never. They have a spacious front courtyard that’s gated so they have the area to take the kids out for outdoor time but rarely make an effort to when by law they have to. There had been multiple weeks when my son and his classmates didn’t go out all week which is absolutely unacceptable! Kids need outdoor time especially when they are in your care for 6 or 7 hours, there’s no way they should be inside all day for that length of time. They had things like outdoor water play every Tuesday but some weeks they would cancel it because it was “To hot” outside or there was an issue with the splash pad or hose etc etc. News flash in the summer it’s hot everyday this is nothing new isn’t that the whole purpose of being outside in the water? Theres been times I picked my son up and the teachers had the kids watching shows on there phone or tablet which is absolutely unacceptable! I don’t pay money for you guys to have my son starring at a screen under your supervision, I could keep him home and not waste my money for all that. Lastly because I could go on and on my sons classroom was not very vibrant floors were dirty and sticky I know them rugs in there weren’t getting clean and toys just raggedy with no organization. My son no longer goes here thank God and we have found ourselves a wayyyyy better school🙏🏿😁
