Apple Tree Learning Academy

I highly recommend this place as a preschool/​day care in the Anaheim area. I found out about Apple Tree from a friend whose kids used to attend here, and am really glad I listened to their recommendation. They took excellent care of my two kids (4 and 6) on short notice for me for about 5 months while my mother (their normal caretaker) was ill, and if I ever need a preschool/​day care again, I will definitely be back here since this is a place I can completely trust with my kiddos. Mrs. Suk and the other staff here are experts at taking care of little ones and helping them develop on so many levels. My little 4 year old learned so much from them, such as good eating habits, manners, letters, numbers, geography, coloring, writing, holidays, singing songs, etc. They also picked my 6 year old up from elementary school each day and helped him complete his homework and taught him so much as well. Thanks Apple Tree!

I’ve had my daughter enrolled here for a few months now, and have nothing but good things to say about it. All of the staff are caring. They take the time to teach the children, and prepare them for a successful educational future. I am pretty picky about childcare, but am so glad that I chose Apple Tree!

I am having a difficult time articulating the wonders of Apple Tree Learning Academy considering my fellow parents have already spoken so highly about it. I don’t want to sound repetitive, but it is in fact an amazing place for our children.
I am a single mom of a 4 year old child and have found a tremendous amount of support from the Apple Tree Family. My daughter loves her class mates (as evidenced by her constantly inviting them all to our house) and her teachers. Mrs. Suk, the director, has done a wonderful job in fostering the strengths of each child. My child loves to sing and it is not uncommon for her to come home and sing for me a song she has learned at school. Mrs. Suk and her staff are always willing to lend me an ear as well as provide me with reports regarding my daughter’s progress, something I truly appreciate as I can then ensure that we are all on the same page. The staff is always honest and I believe they are so because they truly have the best interest of the children in mind.
Maybe because Apple Tree is located in a converted home, the feeling I get when I go there is one of «family.» I know that when I go, I will not only be greeted by the staff but by the other children as well. Together, the children celebrate birthdays, holidays, and special occasions. Their Holiday Concert is awesome and does wonders to boost the children’s self-​esteem as they realize how many people are there to see them perform.
The structure of the day is also well-​balanced with plenty of opportunities to play and explore and mixed in with academia and health and nutrition. Overall, the site is awesome. If you have any doubts, you can just look and listen to the smiles and laughter of the children who are there on a daily basis. I know that I have peace of mind when I have to leave my child from 8 — 5 knowing that she is being very well taken care of.

Our daughter has been going to Apple Tree Learning Academy since she was 2. Now she is 3 ½ and the growth she has shown is immeasurable. I owe a large portion of it to Apple Tree.
Mrs. Suk and her staff (Mrs. Tanaz, Mrs. Ruksana, Mrs. Lily, Mrs. Jasmine, Mrs. Hemma, etc…) all have their unique gifts, talents and disciplinary ways with the kids. The beauty of it all is how well they all mesh together to form the perfect Academy for young child development and care.
Every time I walk in to drop off or pick up my girl, I am greeted with a hello. When I inquire about how my child has been throughout the day, I get straight answers and even some very sound advice (something every first time parent can use, especially from someone with a plethora of knowledge on how kids behave). It is a testament to the character of this daycare. The fact that they will take the time to give me tips, advice, support or even just an ear to listen to me speak nonsense about myself… haha
The place is well kept, clean and there is a great area in the back with many things for the kids to burn off all that excess energy they have and to do it safely.
All the teachers genuinely care about the growth, development and education of each student that attends.
Since it also functions as an after school program facility, there are kids of all ages there too. I see them working on their homework while waiting for their parents to show up.
As for food, my daughter is absolutely in love with the head chef, Mrs. Suk. She creates a monthly program list of what’s on the menu for the month so the parents can take it home. This way you don’t make spaghetti that night when they just had it for lunch. (This really helps your ego from being smashed when your child refuses to eat your food you cooked at home, lol).
The meals are always fresh and the well balanced choices of fruits, veggies, snacks and deserts are always a pleasure for the parents to know those young developing brains are getting the proper nutrition to grow strong and healthy.
One great thing I love about this place is the musical element. Music is a huge part in our household and to see Mrs. Suk play the piano and have the kids singing and dancing and clapping is something that resonates strongly with our family. Don’t even let me mention the yearly Christmas performance… beyond cute… and this is something they put on just for the parents.
Apple Tree Learning Academy will definitely go the extra mile for your child. My wife and I researched places from Cerritos to Tustin and all in between and this is what we chose for our daughter.
We KNOW we made the right choice.

My son has been attending this school since August 2008 and my daughter started in September 2011. We love this place. The director and school teachers are structured, focused, loving, patient and experienced. The school is clean and well-​maintained. The children are provided with a balanced and healthy breakfast and lunch. The best part is that tuition is very affordable. Our family loves Apple Tree Learning Academy and would recommend any child to join.

My kids have been attending this school for more than two years now. They previously attended a montessori in Anaheim Hills but I was not satisfied with their teacher: My daughter started having pretty severe diaper rash which she never had. After I learned of Appletree, and in spite of my reservation about its academia and curriculum, I enrolled them here because it was really clean — the school was fully renovted at the time I enrolled my kids. The outward appearance of the building is not very pleasant but once you walk in there, it’s a different story.
The director, Mrs. Suk, is extremely experienced and knows her stuff — she has since hired 3 montessori certified teachers and is in the process of transitioning it to a Montessori center. She is very neat, sanitary, and instructs her staff to be the same way. My daughter’s rash disappeared only a few days after she started at this school.
I can’t say enough good things about this school and I have to say I am very grateful about how economical it is. I am paying a third of what I was paying at the Anaheim Hills montessori. Also, as a working mother, it is so nice that they serve lunch. I am all the more happy as the food served is probably healthier than what I give them at home. :) This is not only on the menu but I have seen what they are served hen I occasionally pick my kids up earlier during their lunch hour. The teachers that I am failiar with — Ms. Tienez and Ms. T are excellent and full of love.
Overall, it’s a hard-​to-​find treasure with low student-​faculty ratio and with passionate teachers.
