Description: The mission of Apple Tree Academies and Affiliates is to provide professional, consistent, safe, secure and high quality childcare to all the children and their families that attend our centers. We have educated children for over 30 years and operated centers throughout the southeast. Currently, we operate in North Carolina and Virginia. Most ATA centers accept children from six (6) weeks to ten (10) years of age, with certain locations serving children up to age twelve (12). Please check with the local location nearest you for specific details.
Additional Information: Three Star Center LicenseWhere possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
