 When it comes to the young child, much more is "caught than taught." Educators of young children, both parents and teachers, have an awesome responsibility. The early years are critical in the development of the child.
In keeping with this philosophy, Apple Tree Learning Center provides an environment where children are encouraged to:
- Grow and develop at their own rate
- Develop a positive self-image
- Learn to handle their emotions in an appropriate way
- Act on their environment
- Learn to trust and care for others
