This Montessori school didn't want a child like this in August/September of 2020. My son was in a daycare/preschool setting prior to attending this Montessori school & we had no issues with his behavior. After three weeks of almost daily calls, going from a full day to a half day, to pretty much being asked to leave I reenrolled him to the daycare/school he was attending previously. He has just finished kindergarten at the top of his class; he finished all the math units three weeks before the 2023-2024 school year ended. I feel as though this school does not follow what Maria Montessori developed for children's education.

I have been SO pleased with Applewood! We started out at another daycare when our child was just 3…read moremonths old and felt that that place, while warm and inviting, had an unduly high turnover of staff, did not introduce us to new staff members, and were constantly upping the number of babies in their care, at the expense of the babies that were already there. I finally decided to make the switch when I arrived at pick-up and found my eight-month-old, who was quite capable of getting around by rolling and crawling, bound to a Bumbo and trying to access a toy that had gotten away from her. She was so frustrated, and so was I. There were some wonderful caretakers there, but I just knew it wasn't the right place for us. After searching around for a few weeks I stumbled upon Applewood's website and gave them a call. I talked to Tracy for about a half an hour! She was so encouraging, warm, and informed. We visited and it was like NIGHT AND DAY! The baby room was so lovely, with wind chimes and scarves and rocking chairs. Best of all, there were NO swings, Bumbos, or exersaucers designed to prevent baby's natural movements: all the babies just crawl and roll around the carpet to their heart's content! It is amazing to watch babies get the chance to interact with one another in such an organic way. The teachers in the infant room are WONDERFUL and caring, and they make lots of notes and let you know all that your child has been doing that day. They are very well-trained and informed, get opportunities for continuing professional development, and truly seem to enjoy their career path. I enjoy my job, but I do sometimes feel that guilt that comes along with being a working parent. I'm thankful Applewood exists, as it eases so much of that guilt. I know my child is having a wonderful day thanks to the teachers and staff there. Now she's almost ready to transition out of the Toddler Room and it's been wonderful to watch her grow with her playmates. The Toddler room has been similarly awesome. They cook, engage in lots of process art and other process activities, play pretend, and often go outdoors twice a day. It's a little pricier than some other childcare centers, but it's been 100% worth it (and is certainly NOT the most expensive). Highly, highly recommend.
