Classroom Management:
All children are supervised at all times. Within the Center, each staff person is assigned specific children to supervise. We use gentle and encouraging language in the presence of children as they are guided in group or individual play.
Appletree Childcare & Learning Center includes families with private pay arrangements and families that receive CCIS Childcare subsidies. Schedules are structured to be flexible based on the needs of each family, and Appletree can customize a part-day, full-day, part-week or a full week childcare schedule for your family.
