Appletree Academy isn’t just a childcare….it’s an extended family. All 3 of my children have made their way through the halls of this precious school, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the love, attention, and care that they each received every day. As a working mother, daycare was not an option, and I feel so blessed to have found a place like Appletree. The owners and the teachers truly love what they do, and I have never once felt uncomfortable leaving them. You can’t ask for anything more. If you’re on the hunt, search no more because Appletree is the place to be.

We feel incredibly blessed to have found such a nurturing and high-quality daycare for our child. From the very first day, we knew this place was something special. The care, attention, and love that our child receives each day has far exceeded our expectations. Mrs. Lisa, the owner, is truly the heart of this daycare. Her vision for creating a safe, warm, and enriching environment shines through in every detail. You can tell this is not just a business for her it’s a calling. She treats every child like they’re her own and sets the tone for the incredible care all the staff provide. Ms. Jane, the manager, is equally amazing. She runs the day-to-day operations with kindness, efficiency, and a deep understanding of early childhood development. She’s incredibly responsive and always communicates with clarity and compassion. Any question or concern I’ve ever had has been met with patience and genuine care. The teachers are nurturing, creative, and deeply invested in the children’s growth and happiness. Our child has blossomed socially, emotionally, and academically since starting here. The learning activities are thoughtful and fun, the environment is always clean and organized, and we leave each day with total peace of mind. If you’re looking for a daycare that feels like family and prioritizes the wellbeing and development of your child, look no further. Mrs. Lisa, Ms. Jane, and their entire team are a gift, and we’re so thankful to be part of this incredible community.

Appletree Academy gave my son a foundation for education which created a life-long passion for learning. The teachers and administration are excellent, caring and are certified to the highest level of commitment and training. The school earned a four star quality rating, which is amazing in the child-care industry - an affirmation of the accreditation, attention to details and top-notch ability to help your child develop into a responsible adult. My son is a 21 year old Marine now and he still loves to drop in when he's in town to see his old teachers and Mrs. Lisa, the owner of the facility. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Appletree Academy to have given my son a love for the gift of knowledge.

Our kids went here and it was great! We unfortunately had to move out of town and our new daycare does not compare. The place is very clean, has a good learning program and has the camera system where you can peek in on your kids throughout the day. Best part is that if there’s ever an issue, the owner, Ms. Lisa, will personally take care of it. She’s very down to earth and understanding. We still feel like we can call/text her even in the evenings. I miss this place. I especially love the cute homemade presents we get from the kids for holidays and the little parties they put on. The Easter bunny and Santa comes to visit and they take Fall and Spring pictures .

There are no words to describe the appreciation and gratitude that our family has for AppleTree Academy in Covington Louisiana. The director/owner, Lisa, is so involved with the children - catering to the individuals needs of each child was what we were searching for - something that we did not see at other child care facilities. Our son was provided services that he needed to overcome challenges and prepare him for the transition to "big kid school." Our son is well prepared thanks to AppletTree Academy and the staff / faculty there. Our family is beyond thankful for the time that we spent at AppleTree Academy. Thank you Ms. Lisa, Mrs. Jane, Mrs. Catherine, and all of the teachers that have worked with our son to prepare him for the next chapter of his education. We love you all so much!
