Apple Tree is more than a daycare for our son Jake, it is a second home. Every morning we arrive, the first thing he does is run to his caregiver to get swooped up for a good morning hug. It feels good to know that we can go to work with confidence knowing that he is in a caring, safe, educational and very fun environment. That peace of mind is priceless! We're also very excited for our new daughter, Tova, to start in the nursery very soon!

"We love AppleTree Valhalla. My children have attended the center for the past 6 years and love it. The teachers are so wonderful, caring and nurturing. So many great memories. The whole staff is like family."

Apple Tree is our home away from home. We never believed a daycare center could provide the kind of love and nurturing our children need but Apple Tree continues to prove us wrong! It has given our children an environment to grow, learn, and enjoy during every moment they spend there. The staff treat our children like family and go out of their way to assure their safety. We feel confident that our children are happy and secure while we are away. We just love Apple Tree and all the smiling faces we see there! If you need more, just let us know! I definitely could have rambled on and on some more as there are more than enough kind things we have to say! Also, Lynn is the absolute best! We are so fortunate to have had her move with us from West to North! Our children never forget to mention her in their nightly prayers. Thanks!

Within the first week of being at Apple Tree, I saw a change in our daughter that amazed me. She had always been a "social butterfly" but to have the interaction with children of all ages around her and to see her blossom under the supervision of the teachers was truly breath taking. I am what you might call a "worry wart" and I have complete confidence in the staff at Apple Tree and I know that when she is there, I have nothing to worry about. I know the staff and teachers truly care about my children and it's not just a job to them. Amy and Carol are amazing leaders for the Teachers and lead by example. I have watched the way they handle certain situations with children and it has effected the way I talk to my children, so they have not only taught my children, they are teaching me too. They have an amazing program at Apple Tree and other centers in town should strive to be as good as them. Also, I just recently bought a house in Garretson and I work downtown SF. My husband and I discussed changing daycares and we decided that the drive to Apple Tree was worth it and we are going to commute our kids so they can stay there. I truly appreciate everything that Carol, Amy and all the teachers have done for our kids! I hope there is something out of this you can use. If not it's ok, at least pass this on so the higher ups can see that Valhalla center is exceeding expectations.
