My younger son just finished up his time at Apple Tree and my older finished this past summer. After several years of having my children at Apple Tree, I can't thank them enough for their positive contributions to the development of both my boys in their toddler years. I never heard anything but great things from both of my boys about their days spent at Apple Tree, and I've found Debbie to be nothing but helpful and collaborative over the years. I can agree looking at some of the other reviews that she runs a tight ship, but who wouldn't want that when it comes to their kids? Thank you Debbie and Apple Tree for the last several years!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Apple Tree! Our child is learning new things and thriving; we directly relate this to Apple Tree. The director, Debbie, is great! She masterfully balances running a business while providing exceptional care! Her dedication to childcare is evident in every aspect of the daycare, from the cleanliness to the programming. We highly recommend Apple Tree to any parent looking for a safe and caring place for their child.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Apple Tree and their staff. Miss Debbie truly cares about every single one of those kids in her school and will go above and beyond showing it! The rooms are clean, brightly colored, and engaging… and there even is an indoor playground! My daughter has been there since she was 4 months and from day 1, I felt extremely comfortable. Miss Lucy in the infant room is amazing! My daughter has grown and developed so quickly because of the infant activities they do in the classroom. They don’t just let the babies sit around all day and do nothing. Always learning, moving, interacting, and having fun! Thank you to the staff for everything you do to make our kids happy and safe!!

Apple Tree Day Care is the best! My granddaughter has been there for over a year, started at 4 months, and we just love it! It’s clean, brightly colored, and safe for our little ones to grow and explore. The teachers are friendly, caring and professional… always have smiles on their faces, just like the kids. You can tell it isn’t just a job for the teachers… they are the kids extended family. Grandma approves.

My youngest daughter has been attending Apple Tree since she was 12 weeks old. This is my first time having a child in day care and I toured many other day cares before deciding on Apple Tree. There were many reasons that led to my decision over the bigger "brand name" day cares. Above all it's the staff. Every teacher that works there is kind and attentive. My child has moved up through 3 classroom and with every teacher comes a better experience. Every morning when I walk in my daughter is so happy to see Miss Debbie and Miss Sally, she loves them. There are never any tears a drop off and when she is having the occasional off day as most toddlers do the teachers in her room are very good at calming her down and getting her settled. The teachers are always working on so many cute and educational projects with the kids. I have so many cute keepsakes all the way back from when she was in infants. They are so creative when it comes to the curriculum. Debbie is very accommodating when it comes to child care for my oldest daughter as well, who is a school aged kid. There is never a problem if I need to drop her off last minute as well. My oldest loves Apple Tree and likes to visit and all the teacher as so happy to see her. I highly recommend Apple Tree. It's heartbreaking to see some of the negative reviews. I have never had a single issue whatsoever. The center is always clean, the play areas outside and in appear to be in top notch shape. Everything is well taken care of there. There's a lot of pride that goes into making that place look tip top.
