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.

 

 

        

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



"Children are a gift of God a reward from Him" Psalm 127

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.

Dear Parents,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the Early Childhood Wellness Program and myself to you.  My name is Michele Goldberg, BSN, RN and I am employed as a Pediatric Nurse Specialist by Parent Child Center.  We now provide many valuable services to The Appleseed Preschool and your children. 

 

The Early Childhood Wellness Program provides direct services within child care settings for infants, toddlers, and children ages 0 – 5 years on an as-needed basis.  The nursing component provides annual Health Screening Assessments for children ages

In addition, I am available to the Center Staff and parents for any medical questions/concerns and will periodically observe and assess the classrooms for health and safety issues and illnesses.  If needed, recommendations may be suggested to continue to maintain and enhance the health of the center as a whole.
