Preparing Your Little One For Kindergarten Success
At Apple Creek, your child benefits from learning through play. This approach ensures that they’re well prepared for kindergarten and beyond. They learn at their own pace as teachers model and encourage respectful, collaborative teamwork in a fun, developmentally-appropriate environment.
Growing Your Child Through Various Montessori Teachings
Although not classified as a Montessori school, your child spends their days at Apple Creek Preschool learning through various Montessori techniques developed by Maria Montessori in Italy in the early 1900s. These techniques are still used for academic success today.
The Only Preschool In Frisco With NAEYC Accreditation
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) ensures your child is safe, healthy, and learning each day and receives a developmentally appropriate, high-quality education that meets the “best practices in the field.”
Both Apple Creek Preschool and the Montessori Method emphasize developing self-help skills and problem-solving individually and as a group. Both approaches view your child holistically and address their social, cognitive, and creative development and needs with great respect.
Courtesy & Manners Foster A Lifelong Love Of Learning
