About Apple Jacks Preschool

Child Day Care Services
1-10

Our intention at Applejacks is to support children's development of self first. We want every child to walk in each morning feeling ok to be who they are on that day; happy, sad, frustrated, grumpy. To be celebrated and supported through their emotions and to be allowed to unpack what is happening for them. When a strong sense of self is formed; when safety and security are found in relationships with other peers and teachers - learning happens.
