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 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
teachers talk unprofessional in front children staying shut up to the older children owner yells at her co works in front of children & parents owner care for the money not the safety of the children & staff mold in the infant room between the wall teachers in and out always a new director or teacher there is something wrong there very very unhappy
