Safety
From the security of fingerprint and code access doors, which allow only our enrolled families access into our facilities, to our secure AppleCam system, AppleTree Learning Centers offer a safe and nurturing environment for all children and provides you with peace of mind.
There is no more important issue for parents or for AppleTree Learning Centers. On all levels, our safe and secure environment allows your child the comfort to be himself or herself, thus nurturing their growth and development.
Buildings
We safeguard your child through our strict check-in and check-out procedure and by securing center doors with an electronic fingerprint or code access doors.
AppleCam
For your peace of mind, we also offer secure webcam access to your child's room. Viewable only to those with a username and password, AppleCam allows you to check in on your child throughout the day. It's become a hallmark of AppleTree and a feature our parents couldn't live without!
Emergency Drills
Our administration members conduct monthly fire drills with all staff and children. Tornado drills are also performed in May - September in all AppleTree facilities.
Caregivers
Our caregivers work past the level of custodial care to bond with your child and to create lifelong friendships with families. They also have the experience, expertise, and education necessary for their room's age group.
Background Clearances
All caregivers/teachers and administration will submit a background check as well as a state police background search to the Department of Human Services before being offered employment.
CPR/First Aid
All caregivers/teachers and administration are CPR and First Aid certified annually.
Healthy Environments
Sanitation and healthy hygiene habits are not only modeled and taught to our AppleTree children but are important components of our quality assessment program. Hand-washing, cleanliness, healthy eating, regular exercise, and proper rest are all encouraged, modeled, and taught at AppleTree.
We expect that children whom are ill or unable to participate in the daily activities at AppleTree will be kept home until they have had ample opportunity to rest and get well.
