AppleTree Early Care and Preschool-Standale

My son is a little over 1 and he has been in a couple different daycares so far. We had one in another state that we LOVED, then one here in GR that we weren't crazy about but it worked for the time being, and then we moved and started here and we love it. The girls are so nice and our son loves to go. He gets excited, and it's lovely to see him excited to go to a school environment so young.

Both of my sons go to AppleTree and we have been so pleased with all the staff that work there. I am amazed with how much my 3 year old knows already. He knows the alphabet, can count to 20 and is starting to write his name. They were VERY patient through the whole potty training process, and kept reassuring me that it would happen, and it finally did. My other son started there at 12 weeks and grown into a busy little toddler. The girls gave him all the cuddles and love he needed as a baby.

AppleTree Learning Center is a wonderful place for my infant to attend. She is well cared for and loved by the staff. My daughter was very attached to me when she started going to Appletree at 5 months and the director helped us easily transition her in to full time care with no problem. The teachers were very comforting, not only to my daughter but also to me! They went above and beyond helping us all through the transition from being at home to being in daycare full time. The teachers are understanding of different children's needs and quickly picked up on techniques that would make my daughter feel at home away from home. I am amazed at their individualized lesson plans to help my daughter develop important milestones, including positive social interaction with other children. The staff is very easy to communicate with, open to talking at any time and providing quick responses. We decided together when to increase her bottle feedings, when to start her on solid foods, and I know we are in a great partnership providing a caring environment for my daughter. We love the online applegrams and video cameras to have up to date information at any time of the day. The online portal also posts pictures of special events that my daughter participated in. Most importantly, my daughter comes home happy and playful, and I know she is receiving excellent care while I am away at work. While I am not able to be home full time with her, AppleTree is the next best place! We highly recommend this daycare program!

We have been really impressed with Appletree! Every staff member is friendly and loves the children! The camera option and online "Applegrams" that tell our child's daily activities are wonderful. Our son will most definitely be attending Appletree until Kindergarten.

AppleTree has been a wonderful center for my two children to grow and develop in. We've been going to AppleTree Standale/Allendale for a little over a year now and we currently have a pre-schooler and toddler who attend full-time. I cannot say enough about AppleTree and their warm, welcoming staff who truly enjoy the children and watching them grow. Every day when I pick up my girls the teachers have new, fun things to tell me about their day. I appreciate the healthy meal options as well, for some reason my girls always eat their veggies at school (but never at home)! Not sure how they do that? :) My girls enjoy many of the activities that the center provide as well, like music class on Tuesdays and gymnastics on Fridays. My 4 year old gets so excited when it's Friday because its gymnastics day! I would highly recommend this center for all ages!
