I attribute his smooth transition to grade school, in part, to the knowledge and skills that were developed early-on at AppleTree.

I have found that even if concerns arose that the administration and teachers handled it swiftly and professionally.

Each teacher enters with an Associate Degree or BA in Child Development. Each staff member is on a 6-month probationary period. Staff members are required to attend 15 hours of outside education per year. Children learn through hands-on, sensory experiences and a great Child Care facility understands this. They look at the world as a place filled with wondrous new things to see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. In the classroom, children have various hands-on learning opportunities to experience these senses. Essential to learning, particularly to the development of those special intellectual qualities of originality and creativity; is self-esteem. A child must be confident, and with that ability, he or she becomes more independent. A never-ending search for the ideal environment for your children exists as our highest priority.

It's like a big family - a great community to be a part of. Coming to Peoria from the UK, we wanted a secular option for our children that embraces all religions, and the cultural diversity - much like an International School - was what first attracted us to PA. The curriculum is varied, challenging, and hands-on. Really engaging for the children, not just geared towards passing tests. I believe the kids really benefit from the experimental learning and all the extras PA has to offer above and beyond the public schools - such as the Outdoor Education Center, (a working garden / outdoor classroom), huge indoor gym, and all the diverse extra curricular activities. My kids have enjoyed trying out (among other things) Tae Kwon Do, Robotics club, lego club, Ballet, Yoga, Gymnastics, STEAM art, Scholastic Bowl, Fencing, Cub Scouts, piano, guitar, ukulele, cheerleading, mathletics, Speech, debate, cookery, and pottery (the school even has its own kiln!) Multicultural Night is a highlight of the year, along with Halloween Trunk-or-Treat, Family Picnic /Movie Night, and the Annual Gala. PA is a special place. I highly recommend coming for a tour.
