Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Apple Creek is focused on fun as well as learning. My daughter enjoys waking up on the mornings that she knows she has school. Teachers are great at providing feedback. They generally call after the first 6 weeks to discuss how your child is doing. They also write notes stating how your child is doing, their favorite subject (example: outside play, reading time, or playing house, etc). My daughter was in the 2's class.

Parent #2
The teachers do a phone call in the first 6 weeks of school to touch base with parents.

Parent #3
As parents, you could be as involved as you want to be. My son was happy and engaged there. He learned quite a bit and his experience there has helped him to excel in public kindergarten. Apple Creek is a great school. All the teachers and staff appeared to really enjoy their jobs and the kids all behaved extremely well. The teacher/child ratio is excellent. The only bad thing I can say about the school are the snacks they provided. I felt they offered too many sugary items. I feel they missed a great opportunity to install good eating habits at an early age.

Parent #4
We love Apple Creek for our 2 year old son and we are looking forward to his later years there. Great school! The only one that is NAEYC accredited, and as a former teacher I see many benefits of my child attending this preschool as opposed to the many others in Frisco I visited. He will be prepared for kindergarten but nurtured and allowed to be a child at the same time.

It was a cold and soggy day at the Star of Texas Fair & Rodeo. Cold, that is, for March day here in Austin. Of all the sights to see, my son spent most of our visit at the petting zoo. He picked out his
