"Kiddo's teachers are lovely and the overall school is great."

"Overall I know my children are safe and cared for. I have had both good and bad experiences, based on the classroom. I wish quality of experience was more consistent so that I had more confidence when my children change rooms. But I appreciate that the directors are open to hearing concerns."

"I love seeing my child learning so much and being able to play and do such fun activities. I have seen a HUGE difference on the things he has picked up in just the first few weeks of him being there. I cannot say enough good things about his teachers and this schools staff!"

"There have been some very rough times but things have improved and are more stable now. My child’s current teacher is wonderful and I wish he never had to move from her classroom!"

"Very good experience lately. Staffing was a huge concern for a long time but there seems to be much more stability now and more caring staff in place. It’s regrettable how much it costs. It’s not an issue with value necessarily, it’s simply a travesty to me that our government doesn’t fund early childhood development until Kindergarten."

"This school has been wonderful. We attended another Appletree before transferring to this location, and I feel the overall staff, cleanliness of the facility and total experience has been better."

"I’ve loved having my daughter here. She loves the atmosphere and she’s going to miss her teachers and friends."

"Appletree in general has been fine. It all depends on the teachers really. Some have been so wonderful and really made it great. I do have concerns about our rates being raised and how much of that was directly given to the people who take care of my child and how much was put in the pockets of the new owners."

"The staff that’s been consistent is great but there’s so much turnover and constant closures. It’s exhausting and impossible to find care 2 days each week."

"Some teachers are stand off ish. Some teachers are strict which is okay but could be done more warmly. Other staff very friendly and clearly making good connections to our child!"

"The teachers are nice. The good ones seem to be leaving quickly. Still have weekly closures due to poor staffing."

"It’s been ok. The staff is cordial. The room closures are the hardest for us. These have been occurring for two years, it is hard to understand how this is a recurring theme, when we speak to other friends with children in childcare and they are not experiencing it."

"Overall, we have really loved Appletree. Our child seems to enjoy time there. The teachers are friendly and appear happy to see us when we come to school. Unfortunately it has been super unreliable. Classrooms are still closing weekly and we are scrambling each week to find alternate care."

"The overall expereince has been okay, our last Appletree was EXCELLENT so the transition has been tough. Communication is very lackluster and the staffing closures of one or two days/week has impacted our family and career. The teachers are not always warm and fuzzy which I would expect out of a daycare. The staff doesn't greet you often at the door they usually look at the computer screen or continue speaking to one another which is another major change form the other AT location we attended for years before moving to Cascade. Hopeful for staffing changes and improvements in the near future."

"I think I've said what my thoughts are."
