Children are great explorers and deep thinkers
Here at AppleGate Academy & Preschool of the Arts, we work hard to cultivate stable, nurturing relationships, as well as a rich, kid-friendly, stable environment so that each child has the opportunity to explore in a space especially for them!
Our exceptional group of handpicked, degreed, and credentialed teachers guides and facilitates the learning process by promoting readiness skills and developing an ongoing individual assessment for each child that addresses physical, social, emotional and intellectual development.
Our programs are structured in its approach. Each child can move freely to exploratory centers where children experience hands on math skills, pre-reading and pre-writing activities, discovery science, social science skills, social and play skills, art and music, computers, and life skills. AppleGate’s teachers provide the personal individual attention and the developmentally appropriate pacing which allows each child to grow in a natural progression.
