Saying goodbye to this daycare is truly the end of an era for our family. Our daughter, has been here for years, and watching her grow from a tiny baby into a confident, independent little girl has been nothing short of amazing and so much of that is thanks to the incredible staff.
After going through some early medical challenges, trusting anyone with her wasn’t easy. But from day one, her teachers made us feel supported, reassured, and deeply cared for. They loved her like their own, nurtured her personality, and gave her the confidence and security to thrive.
We’ll never forget the hugs, the milestones they celebrated with us, the endless patience, and the joy they brought to her day. They didn’t just care for her they helped raise her.
We are forever grateful for the love, time, and heart every teacher poured into our girl. Thank you for being such a special part of her story. On to preschool but we’ll always carry this place in our hearts!

I absolutely love Apple Kids! I was referred there by two friends who had great experiences. My daughter has been going since birth and I couldn't be more happy with that decision. Now a toddler, my daughter has been cared for by wonderful staff that all have patience and kindness as she grows and develops. Staff is great about offering support and making any accommodations for your child's diet, behavior, etc. I couldn't imagine my daughter anywhere else.

We absolutely love this daycare! Due to some medical challenges early in our daughter’s life, we were extremely cautious and selective about where we enrolled her. From day one, the staff has gone above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, informed, and supported. Their kindness, patience, and attention to detail gave us immediate peace of mind.
One of our favorite things is receiving photo and video updates throughout the day, it means the world to us to see her learning, playing, and smiling. She truly looks forward to going every day, and we’ve watched her grow and thrive in such a nurturing environment. The communication is consistent, the activities are thoughtful, and the care they provide is exceptional. We’re beyond grateful to have found this daycare!
