We have designed a fun and rewarding character education program which utilizes our special AppleTree woodland friends.

These skills are crucial in children's early school years, when making friends and learning go hand in hand! C.O.R.E. has the specific goal of teaching children about appropriate and responsible

When preschool children are encouraged to model positive characters they excel even greater upon reaching kindergarten. These traits are the foundation on which all students need to begin, in order to be socially responsible citizens. We have developed our character education program so that it will not only enhance our students' learning; by pairing each character with a core subject area, but also to help them to develop social skills that will carry over with them into their adult years.
