A Warm, Nurturing Environment Encouraging Future Learners

Children thrive socially, emotionally, and academically with us. Our Conscious Discipline^© curriculum teaches essential skills like emotional regulation, kindness, and responsibility. With a focus on kindergarten readiness, our experienced teachers have college degrees or are actively working on degrees in Education or Early Childhood Education to ensure a smooth transition to school, following the Frisco ISD calendar.

A Highly-Experienced & Passionate Founder

With over 30 years of experience, Founder Tammie L. Williams has served on many early childhood education boards and is a popular public speaker on early childhood and parenting. She has a Master’s degree in Child Development and an MBA.

“I believe every child deserves to be loved, nurtured, and respected for who they are. Children need to feel confident, smart, and ready to handle the rigors of public school before they enter Kindergarten. I have devoted my life to Early Childhood because I believe it builds a foundation for success in life.”

– Tammie L. Williams.

A Longtime Director With A Love For All Children

Director Karen Barron has been with Apple Creek Preschool since 2007. She has outstanding leadership abilities, is actively involved in the community, and remembers almost every child who comes back to visit and greets them by name.

Engaging With the Community Makes Learning More Fun

Our Community Programs bring learning to life with special visits from local figures. Children explore fire trucks with the Frisco Fire Department, meet the Tooth Fairy with a dental hygienist, learn recycling with Rufus the dog, and enjoy story time with seniors from a nearby assisted living center.
