Ms. Carmen and Ms. Kimberly are two of the most wonderful directors I have met. They continuously care for my daughter like she is their own, they love all of the students like this. It truly shows everyday the dedication and passion both of these ladies have for the students and the center itself. The toddler room was upgraded with many new toys and fun activities, the teachers in the Two’s classroom when Brylee visits always welcome her with open arms. You can tell she truly loves Apple Tree when she doesn’t want to leave for the day! walking into the building you feel safe and reassured that your child is going to have an amazing day. I would recommend this center a thousand times over!!!

Absolutely, fantastically love the Mt. Pleasant Center. I see some of the reviews that were over a year ago are not positive to say the least. Some names were mentioned however Mt. Pleasant has new directors and they are amazing! The teachers and staff are all like family. My son had a time adjusting as any 16 mth old would, however his teachers and the directors were so patient and supportive. I was so thankful I found a place I instantly gut trusted. A true place of love, kindness, ministry, and fellowship. I am extremely thankful and grateful that my son can experience love even when he is away from me. The facility is well maintained, sanitize, and cleaned. The facility is locked only accessed by staff and parents, again absolutely love this feature. Cameras are installed, classrooms are ratio/ portion, schedule activities/ events and menu availability. I highly recommended taking a tour/visiting for yourself!

I love this daycare for my son. He has been here a year now (since he was 10 weeks old) and I have been extremely satisfied with their care. Ms. Jen, Ms. Val and Ms. Tina in the infant room are his teachers and he loves them. He is always big smiles when I put him in the car at home to go to school. He gives his teachers big hugs and kisses and I see how they treat him like one of their own. Ms. Carmen and Ms. Kim are also great; they even called to check up on him one morning when I was running late and forgot to call. And I appreciate how even the staff that aren't his teachers know him by name and make sure to say hi. I plan to keep him at this daycare/location for as long as possible.

My family has been with Apple Tree for nearly 10 years, with both my son and daughter having been students since they were each about 2 years old, and I strongly disagree with the negative reviews I've seen here. The directors, teachers, and assistants are hard working and truly care about all of the children. Both of my children have loved going there over the years and have always been excited to attend. Many of the people who work there have been there for 5+ years which is saying a lot for a daycare which can tend to have high turnover rates. They have a great teaching curriculum, and the school is always clean and tidy. The Directors, Miss Jessica and Miss Barbara, are doing a great job and always have a smile on their face, even after working very long days in some instances. They are organized and attentive to both the needs of the children and the parents. I really appreciate all that they do for our families. I would recommend this school and specific location to anyone that is thinking about enrolling their children for childcare.

Don’t bring your kids here worst daycare there is , I’ve been bringing my kids for years didn’t have any issues until the new directors came . They kept discriminating my kids calling me everyday to pick them up for stuff they never do . My son is autistic and we had many issues with a teacher even told them about the concerns and mistreat of her to the kids and nothing was done . Care got terminated with no warning all because I didn’t pick up on the first call .they know im not allowed to have my phone on me at work . They didnt even give me written termination letter . Honestly all they care about is money they have zero patience for the children, make this your last option please ! Horrible care .
