John-Gabriel & Jacob’s Mommy

As a first time mom I was overwhelmed trying to find a daycare that I thought was right for my family. I had looked at several centers without success when someone pointed me to The Apple Orchard. I had not looked at any home daycares and was reluctant. I had several friends who had used in home child care where after a few months the provider decided that they didn’t want to do child care anymore. I also feared that an in home daycare wouldn’t provide the same structure that a center provided. We met with Julie to investigate and when we left, we immediately knew we had found our provider. I would describe The Apple Orchard as a small private daycare that just happens to be located in a home. I now have two children attending and I couldn’t imagine them being anywhere else. My children are not only learning things like shapes, numbers, and colors. They are also learning developmental skills (like using eating utensils and putting on shoes and socks) and social skills (like sharing and respecting your friends). Julie works incredibly hard and rarely closes. We also have the consistency of having the same provider who has a great amount of experience in the child care field. I know my children are in great hands!
