Apple Ridge Academy is a privately-owned and family-operated Preschool and Childcare program that has been supporting families and promoting early learning for children since February 2010. Our program is based on the philosophy that young children learn best by doing. Learning isn't just repeating what someone else says; it requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work and to learn firsthand about the world we live in. In their early years, children learn by exploring the world around them... and at Apple Ridge Academy teachers offer a variety of new experiences, both inside and outside the classroom. We are providing more than child care, we are teaching children how to learn, not just in pre school, but all throughout their lives. We are allowing them to learn at their own pace and in the ways that are best for them. We are encouraging them to demonstrate good habits and attitudes, particularly a positive sense of themselves, which will make a difference throughout their lives.
