We are so excited to tell you about the Appleseed Preschool and Nursery. We understand that looking for a preschool program for your child can be a challenging process, as it is one of the most important decisions that you will make for your child.

As a ministry of Church of all Nations, we promise to provide a high quality, early childhood program with a safe and nurturing Christian environment while promoting the spiritual, physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of each of our little ones. This foundational approach promotes positive self-esteem while developing respect for God and one another.

APPLESEED GRADUATION 2012

 

 

The Appleseed Pre School held their end of the year graduation Thursday as 22 children said goodbye to Pre School and hello to kindergarten.

Decked out in their white cap and gowns, it was an adorable site to see our future generation take that first step towards their futures. Director Kathleen Wininger presided over the afternoon’s ceremony bringing to light all the beautiful memories both she and her staff shared with the graduates.

 

       

Always a bittersweet time for the teachers as they say good-bye to their little friends, they are reassured knowing they have done all to instill the love of Jesus Christ and solid moral character.

The Appleseed Pre School has been a part of the Boca Raton landscape and Church of all Nations for over 25 years and represents an extension of their beliefs regarding faith and family values. On behalf of Senior Pastor Mark D. Boykin congratulations to the graduates and to the Appleseed for another quality year of Christian education.

Congratulations to our preschool director, Kathy Wininger, for being elected to be the Christian voice at the Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County board of directors!

Kathy has earned this position due to her hard work, kind heart, and the gift she has of sharing the love of Christ.  Let us all keep Kathy in our prayers so that the Lord may continue to bless the works of her hands, and that He may give her the guidance and wisdom she will need to continue to do the work of Jesus Christ.

On behalf of Church of All Nations Senior Pastor Mark D. Boykin and staff we wish to add our congratulations on a job well done and for continued success in all future activities with the Appleseed Pre School.

 

 

 

The Appleseed
“A place for children to grow”

The Appleseed believes in providing educational experiences that will enrich the life of the whole child. A wonderful preschool experience should instill your child with a positive self image and the basic Christian principles to be a successful adult. We want to continue what you have begun, reinforce and expand on what you teach, support your choices and be partners with you in enriching your child."

At the Appleseed we are committed to providing a warm and loving environment for the children of our community. One in which the children can be free enough to grow and explore, yet directed enough to learn and progress.

Sincerely,
Kathleen Wininger, Appleseed Pre-School Director

Infant Care




In our Nursery we have babies from 6 weeks to 24 months. The teachers provide an environment that is warm and loving with lots of activities and story time.

Two's



Our twos’ are incredibly busy mastering new skills such as potty training and sharing toys with their friends. They are guided lovingly through a challenging year of maturing and growing in God’s love.

Three's



There is nothing as delightful as a three year old. They are so full of wonder and excitement at learning new skills. We use the creative curriculum in our Threes program. It is based on four areas of develpment: social emotional, cognitive, physical and language. 

VPK




In our VPK Program we also use the creative curriculum. The children learn to read and write and are socially ready to enter the world of kindergarten. Each day is filled with new activities that are both fun and exciting.

The Appleseed is proud to announce that we are now a Quality Counts Program.

 

Quality Counts is a voluntary rating system for early care and education providers that uses a clearly defined, five-star method to ensure quality standards so children enter school eager and ready to learn.

 

 

Six Standards:
• Learning Environment
• Staff-to-Child Ratio/Group Sizes
• Family Engagement
• Curriculum
• Administration
• Staff Qualifications/Professional Development

 

 

Participating in Quality Counts means providers – whether based in centers, at schools or in family child care homes – receive professional support and financial incentives.

 

 

·        Grants for materials and equipment

 

·         Educational scholarships for staff

 

·         Wage supplements for staff

 

·         Early learning coaching/networking

 

·         Technical assistance

·         Financial awards

 

Because we are a Quality Counts site, we are able to offer many new free services for parents and children through the Parent-Child center. Enhancing children's health, happiness, and well-being through social-emotional and physical health services.
