Apple Tree Academy

The staff and administration go out of their way to make the child and parents feel welcomed. There is an atmosphere of safety, compassion, educational professionalism and Christian values that are integrated into their curriculum. The place is immaculate. My three sons graduated from there 3 decades ago and my granddaughter just graduated this week from there. My grandson starts next week. There is consistency with staffing and not a revolving door of staff like other preschools. I highly recommend this school if you are looking for the above qualities and want your preschooler to graduate and be well prepared for Kindergarten. They truly exceed expectations.

After facing multiple rejections from other preschools simply because my son has diabetes, I was beginning to lose hope that I would find a place that would truly understand and care for his needs. That changed the moment I walked into Apple Tree Academy II. From the very beginning, the warmth and compassion shown by the staff were incredible. Unlike the other schools, they did not see my son’s diagnosis as a burden—instead, they welcomed him with open arms and made sure he received the attention and care he needs every single day. The school itself is amazing—clean, nurturing, and full of energy. The staff, starting with the Director and Assistant Director, are nothing short of outstanding. They’ve created a space where children of all needs and backgrounds can thrive. I want to give a very special thank you to my son’s teachers: Ms. Cassandra, Mrs. Morgan, and Ms. Jeanine. These wonderful women go above and beyond every day to make sure my son is safe, healthy, and happy. They monitor his blood sugar, make sure his snacks and meals are appropriate, and most importantly, they treat him with love and respect. It brings me so much peace to know my child is not just being looked after, but truly cared for. Thank you, Apple Tree Academy II, for giving my son a safe place to grow and learn. You are a blessing to our family!

We started ATA when my son turned 1 in 2023, and should have left as soon as he left room 1. There was a different director when we started and as soon as she left it turned into a free for all. Alarming amount of teacher turn over, barely any structure to the "learning" portion and the rates that they keep increasing are criminal. Charging close to $300 a week and serving hot dogs and beans with corn for lunch. And you are also made to pay in FULL for the weeks they take off over Christmas and New Years, so you might as well just light $600 on fire because you're not able to use the "Vacation week" then either. The cleanliness was hit or miss, but we had several cases of hand foot mouth, stomach viruses, rashes and a horrible case of impetigo. They also liked to call at 4pm for "fevers" after the kids had been playing out in the sun for 45 mins, which then according to their policy, the child had to stay home the next day - even when providing proof that there was never a fever to begin with. This is the furthest thing from a Christian preschool. They do not pay their staff liveable wages, so it's no wonder they have such massive turnover/no care for their jobs. My final straw was when my 3 year old came home with the WORST black eye I had ever seen, he "fell". And then the next week he came home with a massive bite mark on his cheek. Likely due to the fact that the classrooms that are all supposed to have a teacher and a co-teacher, but there was never 2 teachers in one classroom at least for the last year or so. There were daily occurances of 18-20 toddlers in ONE classroom because they could never stay staffed. Stay far away. Most of these reviews are very far from the truth. Would never reccomend this facility.

My daughter goes here and I have always felt like she was safe and well cared for. This is a good school and as a teacher myself it is very important to me.

I have had multiple children enrolled in Apple Tree over the passed 9 years and each teacher has love my girls like they are their own. I’m incredibly picky but the care provided exceeds all my expectations. Hence why I keep coming back. The Director of the academy, Kayla is simply amazing and is always available. I trust my babies wholeheartedly with each teacher and I know they are being set up for educational success!
