Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
Apple Creek has a great age-appropriate curriculum. My daughter attended the 2's class for 2005/06 and is now in the 3's class for 2006/07 school year. The focus for the 3's is very different than the 2's, but also more in line with what a 2 or 3 year old should be learning. The teachers are awesome and I can't express that enough.

Parent #2
Teachers are sent to an annual preschool conference for continuing education. All have early childhood degree or higher and are very experienced.

Parent #3
The teachers are trained and educated at Apple Creek much more extensively than at other preschools in Frisco. For this reason, they are better equipped to handle classroom situations and they do an excellent job engaging children in the learning process. I have found them to be very warm, friendly and exceptionally fun for the kids as well.

Parent #4
There are two co teachers - not one lead - they are both excellent

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

View an example from the Savvy Source guide to learn more.

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
