Uses the 'Letter People' program to introduce letters and sounds which I like.
Parent #4
I cannot say enough good things about Apple Creek. Our son loves school and learns so much. I love the way the staff interacts with the children. It is a loving, safe and structured environment and he is thriving there.
Parent #5
I wish it were one hour longer
Parent #6
I am very happy with the school.
Parent #7
Parents were awesome at organizing playgroups outside of school. They also sent out emails regarding the parties that included a sign up sheet for parent participation. There are too many strengths to list. The biggest weakness that I see is fundraisers, but that's because I personally hate to do them and generally buy as much as I can afford. My daughter is 2, she can't fundraise and I'm not about to do it.
