Apple Tree Children's Center
About the School
- Apple Tree Children's Center, located in Cockeysville Maryland, is a state licensed facility.
- The Center was established in order to provide a quality care environment for children from six weeks of age to twelve years.
- Individual rooms for children of different age levels offer a variety of experiences in cognitive, physical, and social development.
- Our belief is if children are presented with information and given hands-on opportunities to learn in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment they will become self-confident, enthusiastic, capable learners.
- Our Pre-Kindergarten program is for children ages 4-5.
- We utilize the Open Court reading curriculum, a proven program that develops skills through phonics, word knowledge, and comprehension strategies.
- The curriculum also covers instruction in mathematics.
- We realize that emotional development is critical for children during the early months of their lives.
- The staff in our infant room focus on developing a child's sense of self and self-esteem by holding, talking to, and cuddling with the children throughout the day.
- We strive to develop language skills through songs, nursery rhymes, and music.
- We also encourage thinking and problem solving by letting the children explore their environment and play with toys that give a response, allowing them to learn about cause and effect.
