The principal sends out an email every week to keep you updated, and the care is very compassionate by all of the staff. I especially love how my son's preschool class uses the ClassDojo app so we can see pictures and videos of what our kiddos are doing in class. Thanks for being so great and giving a great preschool program that talks about Jesus!

Awful experience in which my child was put in an unsafe situation due to the school's inability to…read morebe inclusive to all students personalities and learning styles. Questions of my character as a parent came into play instead of focusing on the needs of my child and effectively communicating concerns. Principal is unreasonable and took statements geared towards open discussion and escalated them instead of putting me at ease. Principal was not open to helping and was condescending. When looking at the parent's statement below who engaged an attorney to speak to the Principal, I am not not surprised and saddened I sent my child to this school after making such a financial sacrifice to do so. The school promises low class sizes but this is untrue. Lower grades can have as many as 26 children- making this comparable, or even more in numbers, to public school. As a Christian, I am grateful I won't be sending my child here again and that the truth of how the school operates was fully exposed to me. I would not recommend this school.

Green Apple is a gentle, progressive, and amazing daycare experience. The kids are treating as…read morethinking, authentic, and individual human beings instead of a collective. Care is individualized for each child and each child is given a chance to grow and learn in a respectful environment. The kids spend a good portion of the day outside so if you visit and the space seems small it is because they don't spend all day in the building. If it is over 10 degrees they are outside playing. Kids come home exhausted, happy, satiated, and wonderfully dirty. They are fed organic, healthy snacks, and they actually eat them. I almost choked on my coffee when I read the email that my son had asked for extra kale at snack time. Are you serious? It wasn't in chicken nugget form and he ate it? The administrators are working with kids and teachers all day so sometimes it can take a few calls to get questions answered. Don't get discouraged by this. It is worth the effort to get a hold of them and take a tour. As a foster parent I've experienced a lot of daycares and preschools in the area. There is no place in the county that compares to Green Apple.

Jill and Eric are absolutely amazing people and always treat my daughter as an equal and not a "child". They refer to eachother as "friends" and take a very gentle and realistic approach to how they construct their afternoons. Jill and Eric plan activities that involve mostly items found in nature and encourage the children to utilize their imagination to create fun and educational activities. I'm super excited that Green Apple is offering Spanish Immersion at AALC and will definitely be enrolling my daughter in this awesome opportunity. Thank you Green Apple for providing such wonderful care to my precious girl.

We were worried, as we have moved around a lot that my son was suffering because of it, but the teachers in orange room made such an effort to give him time and attention that he loved it from day one! The rooms are self contained, as in restrooms, playgrounds etc and very well equipped and clean. They also have access to more toys/ equipment that they rotate weekly so your little one will never get bored. There is also a great room that they use for more physical fun if the weather is so bad that they can't get outside. I was so gutted when we learned we had to move again as I really hoped I'd found a preschool for the next 4 years for both my sons.

We were at Schoolbell for 2 years. We grew to love the teachers like family and developed amazing…read morerelationships. The teachers genuinely cared for our children and loved them like their own. We have since left due to many issues with the owners NOT the teachers. Writing a bad review is not something I ever do, but I feel like it's necessary after all that happened to warn other parents. We had many issues with our checks being deposited whenever they felt convenient for them (over the course of a year)- we are talking a month later (they do not offer online payments).When the issue was discussed, and I stated that the parents are expected to pay each week, therefore they should be depositing our checks weekly, the response was less than friendly. Stating I needed to be better at balancing a checkbook, even though they were being extremely unprofessional. In addition, prices have increased 3 times in the past year (with very little explanation). Many parents were frustrated but understood due to inflation and figured the teachers deserved more money; so we stayed because the care our children were receiving was phenomenal. Summer came and the lunches WE PAY FOR in our weekly tuition were taken away and we were required to provide lunch for our children, while STILL paying the same tuition. When brought to their attention, there was no straight answer given. Where was our money going? Not to the teachers like we assumed, so where?The final straw was them taking away the toddler room and moving all the young toddlers into the room with the babies. This was not only unsafe, but an unrealistic expectation for the teachers. I felt like what once was an amazing center has turned into a chaotic, money hungry business. The teachers are underpaid, understaffed and overworked. The happiness in the center had dissipated and we finally had enough and left, along with MANY other families that have been there for years. The amazing teachers that we love so dearly have also left (these teachers have all been here for years and were long-term employees). There is a REASON why parents and teachers are not staying at this center. It is saddening, disheartening and was a tough decision to leave. I wish that the owners would open their eyes and realize that they are the problem and are the reason for staff leaving and parents pulling their children from this center.

The teachers are very knowledgable in early childhood development and create a very loving and friendly environment. There is a drop off line, so parents don't have to get out of the car to drop their kid off at school, which makes drop off super easy. There's a small playground outside that kids play on during the last 30 minutes of class. The co-op aspect is very manageable. Parents volunteer in the classroom about 5 times per year and are assigned one job. The jobs vary but they are not time consuming. For example, the laundry parent would wash a small load of towels once per week and hand them to the teachers in the drop off line. If I could give it 10 stars, I would!!

After six months she had done nothing but play--not educational play, just coloring and running. Then she stopped wearing her favorite shirts because older kids kept telling her they were "yucky." This is the kind of pressure a three-year-old shouldn't deal with. We took her to Child's World this year, and it's been a world of difference. She comes home with art projects that taught her how to make letters or count or something. She has learned a dozen songs. She comes to school and the kids call out her name. She can count to ten in Spanish and knows a lot of the alphabet in sign language. I credit the adults with all of this. It takes real organization and teamwork to put together a team like this. They handle behavioral issues effectively. They are creative in their use of play. And they create an environment where kids treat each other with respect. Honestly, this is one of the best things going in Genesee County.
