I enrolled my son for before and aftercare with apple tree day care . On the 1st day of care the director forgot to pick up my son from school. I called the school repeated and there was no answer. Finally she answered and said she forgot and her meeting carried over.
The second day, I get a called from my son's school again stating the daycare was not there . I called Apple Tree repeatedly and there was no answer for 10 mins. Finally someone answer to say that the Director just left . Fifteen minutes later I was advised my son was picked up from his public school teacher. The director ended up calling to tell she was later picking up my son because she had someone to pick up.. The daycare is neglectful and unprofessional .. Please stay away from this center!!!!!
