Apple Ridge Academy

Our program is based on the philosophy that young children learn best by doing. Learning isn't just repeating what someone else says; it requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work and to learn firsthand about the world we live in. In their early years, children explore the world around them by using all their senses (touching, tasting, listening, smelling, and looking). Apple Ridge Academy teachers offer a variety of new experiences, both inside and outside the classroom, and create lesson plans according to the interests and needs of the children. More than just providing basic child care, we're teaching them how to learn, not just in preschool, but all through their lives. We're allowing them to learn at their own pace and in the ways that are best for them. We're encouraging them to demonstrate good habits and attitudes, particularly a positive sense of themselves, which will make a difference throughout their lives. We look forward to your family joining us on... "A Journey to Excellence!"
