Teachers here are really nice and creative(Before our leaving, her teacher asked us if we want to have our daughter's picture. They picked all her picture out and put in a USB key for us. You can image how much extra effort they did). Ratio are very good. And compare to CA. This school does not have those winter break, spring break or summer break(Certainly this is quite common in NH). Classroom and playground are quite spacious and clean. And they have a big gym for rainy day and other activities. Although they don't have lots field trip for toddler and preschool(they do go around campus, and visit fire station and police station from time to time), they do invite others to come to perform. They have story teller, dancer, pet show... And they offers lots fun based curriculum. I missed this school very much

My son spent a month and a half at their Hooksett location before transferring to their Manchester location (there wasn't an opening in Manchester yet) and both schools are incredible. There are 3 sisters that own and operate these locations - them and their staff clearly love what they do. It was apparent with how happy my son would be when I picked him up, and how happy he was to be dropped off (after the initial crocodile tears) I am so looking forward to continue being a part of the Colorful Apples family and I would recommend either location to anyone looking for excellent childcare. It feels so good not to worry about the well-being of my child while I'm at work. Thank you to the entire Colorful Apples staff. We love you!

Thankfully I made a wonderful choice for my daughter's daycare with Colorful Apples! Since day one, the teachers have put my mind at ease. They are on top of everything that goes on and give my child so much attention and love that I could not be happier. The center in Manchester is small and I really love the family atmosphere it creates. You get to know all the kids and parents quickly. There is no greater comfort than feeling like your child is well loved and taken care of when you can't be there and that is what Colorful Apples has given me. Thank you so much Dawn, Liz and Amber.

I got a nice vibe from the teachers and the kids at this center but overall found the building to…read morebe dated, with stuffy air inside, with some rooms having hardly any natural lighting. The windows and the overall facility is extremely out-dated and did not look particularly clean or healthy. The building does not have any ventilation system and the windows are always shut when the children are indoors (for safety and to save heat and a/c) -- meaning the indoor air quality is extremely poor. I think that places providing child care need to up-date their facilities to provide a healthy, clean environment with adequate ventilation and plenty of natural light and green space outdoors. I felt that the facility is lacking in all these respects despite possibly providing a fun experience and socialization for the kids.
