If you are looking for a good home daycare, I highly recommend Priya. She has become like family to us. Not only does she run a tight ship while caring with a warm and loving approach, she also got my late talking toddler to finally talk! Now she is speaking, counting, doing the alphabet at an advanced level. The children in her center practice respect, following directions, being a good friend, and a robust curriculum for different ages. She also is great with keeping us parents updated, sending us pictures and videos every day. I just had to give her a shout out and spread the word. Couldn’t be more grateful for everything Priya has brought to our lives.

Priya has been watching our son for over 3 1/2 years and we couldn't ask for a better daycare provider, she is truly wonderful. She is loving, but firm. Not only was she instrumental is helping our son get on a nap-time schedule, but as he got older, she also got him used to eating solids and helped get him potty trained. She is patient and kind, and I know he is being looked after by someone who really cares about his well-being and development. She is like a member of our family, and we will never forget what a great job she has done with our child.

Mrs. Priya cared for my son Aaron for almost a year. She cared and loved him like he was her own child. She adored him and made sure he and the other children under her care were safe and happy always. Mrs. Priya maintains a very clean environment and is an absolute pleasure. I am happy to recommend her, if you are in need of a child care provider look no further, your child will be in very capable and loving hands. We had to unexpectedly relocate and the biggest hardship has been finding someone like Mrs. Priya. She is truly a gem and irreplaceable, she will forever be part of our family. Whomever has the pleasure of working with her is very fortunate.

Priya, thank you for caring and loving my son and our family. You gave us peace of mind knowing that Aaron was so loved.

Love,
The Rowe Family

Priya has been providing care for my daughter for more than a year, from the time she was just a few months old and I returned to work until now. She is wonderful and caring. My daughter is delighted to see her everyday. My daughter has never complained when I leave her in the morning. On the contrary, she often throws her arms around Priya's neck. I know she gets lots of actual care and nurturing there. She is 16 months old and already has a vocabulary of more than 20 words, many of which I think she learned from reading books, singing songs, and playing games with Priya. When my 4 year old son stayed with Priya for a week, while his preschool was on break, he didn't want to leave. He still wants to go back. She had many activities for older children too and she never uses TV. I would highly recommend Apple Tree Day Care to anyone looking for a loving environment for their little one.

Apple Tree Day Care saved my life. I have a one and half year old who was under the care of a family friend up until now, so when i had to find a daycare for my son i had many fears and concerns for his wellbeing when i was away from him. Mrs. Priya made me feel comfortable and secure that my child would be under great care. I am so happy that i came across her from this site. She not only watches my son but she reads to him, they make activities, sing songs, go outside in a safe free environment. My son's vocabulary has increased since he has been attending. Mrs. Priya is also very flexible with the days i take him. Currently he is going part time with additional days as needed. But she allows me to changes the days as i need with my schedule. She is so awesome and i love taking my little one to AppleTree, he is not only being taken care of but is having fun with the interaction of other kids. I am truly blessed to have came across her advertisement on this site. I highly recommend her she will make your little who feel loved and happy under her care!!!!!
