I have used this provider for less than 6 months

The owner Carmina Mariscal is beyond rude and careless for the parents at this facility!!! We paid a lot of money for my daughter to come here for the past 3 months to be treated the way I was treated yesterday. I had to tell her to stop yelling at me at one point in our conversation. She basically told me if my daughter needed so much attention I needed to get a nanny!!!!! This place doesn’t even deserve one star! I regret bringing my daughter here.... and would NEVER recommend this Daycare (it shouldn’t even be called that) to anyone.! Please do not send your children here.....

I am an employee

I am the assistant director at The Apple Tree Learning Centers, and I absolutely love coming to work every day. The teachers are all very experienced and have worked with children for many years. I am also an experienced educator. As all educators know, we are always learning new and improved ways of helping children grow. I am putting my love of children, my education, and my love of learning to great use helping to improve an already great center. We invite all parents to take a tour, and let your child learn and grow with us
