    Our son loves coming to Appleseed! The staff is incredibly caring, patient and dedicated to creating a warm and engaging environment for all the kids. We’ve noticed so much growth in his social skills, creativity and confidence since he started attending two years ago. Special thanks to Kim, Emily, Sarah and Sam for going above and beyond to make each day special for him! We feel very grateful for the peace of mind knowing he is in such good hands each day!

    I can’t recommend Appleseed Childcare highly enough! From day one, the staff has been incredibly welcoming and attentive. The environment is warm and nurturing, making it a perfect place for children to learn and grow. My child has blossomed here, engaging in a variety of fun and educational activities. I love the emphasis on creativity and social development, and it’s clear that the caregivers genuinely care about each child’s well-being. Communication has been fantastic, and I always feel informed about my child’s progress. If you’re looking for a safe and enriching environment for your little ones, Appleseed is the place to be!

    My son goes here 5 days a week, he is excited to go each day and is filled with joy at the end of every day. My husbands older children went here when they were little, their photos are still on the wall. Appleseed is my sons second family. He is loved by all the educators and you know he loves them when you see the smile on his face each morning and he runs in for a big good morning cuddle. The activities and education are 5 star, the food is amazing and the whole place is filled with love, joy and care from the moment you walk in the door! Thank you Appleseed for loving and caring for my boy!
