How we got started
Apple Playschools began as a small home child care started by parents who didn’t want to choose between high-quality education for their children and meaningful work that honored their humanity.
What Guides Our Work
At the core of our work at Apple Playschools is a deep respect for authentic play, a focus on nature, and five guiding social justice branches.
Our Learning Process
We believe that play is the fundamental work of childhood. We honor children’s needs and interests by using an emergent curriculum focusing on environmental education (including stewardship & justice), social-emotional learning, process art, and anti-bias education.
