My daughter started at Apples and Books Learning Center in December, attending two days a week, and we’ve been extremely happy with her experience. Her teacher, Mrs. Debanjana, is wonderful and so kind, attentive, and really makes my daughter feel comfortable, happy, and engaged every day. The daycare is warm, welcoming, and very well-organized, with clear communication for parents. We truly appreciate the care and attention our daughter receives. It would be even more amazing if occasional picture updates were provided, but overall we’re very pleased and grateful for this nurturing environment

Our son started at Apples and Books as an infant and attended until he was 2.5 years old. We had the most wonderful experience at the center and only left because we moved to another town. If we could have picked up the center and moved it closer to our new home we would! Every staff member is incredibly caring and truly loves the kids. Our son grew so much and we are so grateful for his time at ABLC. It is a small school that feels like a family, which was the perfect fit for us. We would recommend Apples and Books to any family looking for high quality care for their child.

My family had the best experience at ABLC. My son started there as a baby and we stayed with them until township schooling. The entire staff is professional, kind, caring, supportive and like act like family. They never hesitated to answer a question and always went above and beyond with communication (which as a parent gives so much added comfort). They also have a very good education program and school culture! Definitely would recommend for those needing childcare!

My husband and I highly recommend Apples and Books Learning Center. Our son spent over two years there, and we couldn’t be happier or more grateful. He had a wonderful experience, and we’re very pleased with the learning, growth, and joyful memories he’s taken with him. It was truly a fantastic journey filled with love, kindness, and patience. The team is exceptional, and our son was always excited to see them. We came to Apples and Books after trying another center for five months, and without a doubt, it was the best decision we made. The outstanding, authentic, sincere, and warm service provided by ABLC is unmatched and made a lasting impact on our family.

Previously I sent my little one to a school where the facility looked fantastic, the program looked attractive, and teachers looked nice at the beginning but after a while we noticed the teachers there were lousy. As we all know, teachers in fact are the most important factor for a daycare center. So we started searching for new schools and later transferred to Apples and Books Learning Center. After staying here for a couple of months, we should say we finally found a good daycare. The teachers here are beyond my expectation. They are amazing! In the old school, during lunch time, the teachers seldom encouraged kids to eat, and they were just chatting with each other or playing with their phones. Some kids even didn’t eat anything for lunch. But the teachers just didn’t care. On the contrary, the teachers in Apples and Books always tried all their ways to encourage kids to eat enough food. Some kids didn’t like veggies or fruits. I saw many times the teachers squatted down next to the kids and tried all means to encourage the kids to eat to make sure they get right nutrition. I felt they treated the kids as their own. In the old school, the teachers always chatted with each other and seldom talked with the kids. So the language skill of the kids there seemed kinda delayed. But the teachers in Apples and Books always talked with kids and taught kids knowledge with enough patience. The language skill and social skill of my little one really got improved here. I noticed the teaches in Apples and Books have been working here for many many years and I feel they really love kids from the bottom of their hears. So the turn-over rate is very low, which is helpful for kids to build sense of security. Management is another important factor for a daycare center. Vanessa, the owner of Apples and Books is very kind and professional. If you have any problem with the school, you can talk to her at any time. And the problems will be solved immediately. In the old school, I didn’t see efficient management and maybe that’s why the teachers there would behave that way and the turn over rate was quite high. I strongly recommend Apples and Books. My little one loves the teachers here. The only regret is that we should have sent my little one here at the beginning.
