Meet our Teachers and Staff

At Applewood Learning Center, our teaching approach is rooted in creating a caring community of learners.

Our dedicated educators are the foundation of the high-quality programs we proudly provide to children and families. With low teacher-child ratios and training in the evidence-based Pyramid Model, our team fosters a nurturing environment where children can thrive socially, emotionally, and in their overall development.

Applewood is committed to attracting and retaining the most qualified and passionate educators. All our teachers are required to hold, or actively pursue, at least an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education. We also prioritize ongoing investment in their professional growth through comprehensive training and development opportunities.

What Teachers Say:

“There is a sense of community at Applewood that is difficult to find at other schools.”

“Applewood is special to me because it allows me the extra planning time to be the kind of teacher that I want to be. Each teacher is allotted 2.5 hours of planning time as well as an hour of assessment to record observations of the children in our care. Head teachers are also given an hour each week for reflection. This time allows us to provide a quality program for the children as well as their families.”

“Applewood has always created a warm and friendly environment that allows both families and staff to feel welcome and valued. Since beginning my career as an Early Childhood Educator it has become difficult to picture myself anywhere else.”

“I think Applewood is very special in so many ways: the community is a big part of it; the professionalism of teachers, the school-like program for children.”
