Apple Learning Center

Contact Apple Learning Center today if you have any questions about our preschool children's programs. We are licensed through Boise City, and proudly serve the entire city and its surrounding areas. We would love to see your children join us! We're not just your average daycare!

Children also learn through socialization:
Social skills like interaction with other children and good work habits also continue to be developed with us. Our main goal for all preschool age children is to assist in building confidence to increase their development, so they can be as prepared as possible for their first day of Kindergarten.

Why preschool is so important to your child
By providing your children a print-rich child care environment, as well as working on phonemic awareness and literacy comprehension, our preschool curriculum was designed to assist in building the foundation for reading. Art, exercise, and music will also be a part of your child's everyday routine.

Whether you're looking for full-time child care, or just something for before and after school for your child aged 0-12, we can help.

Happy Valentines Day! We hope you have a Loved-Filled Day!

Children learn to love the sound of language before they even notice the existence of printed words on a page. Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. When the rhythm and melody of language become a part of a child's life, learning to read will be as natural as learning to walk and talk.

Remember, we all need to work together to make this the best possible environment for your child and all other children. Please feel free to ask any questions from the staff or the director, but any questions to do with administration (subsidies, policies changes, fees etc.) must be directed to the Director of Apple Learning Center

Early childhood education is a bipartisan issue. Politicians from both sides of the aisle recognize that when we invest in early childhood education, we improve the lives of children and families and save money for generations to come. That’s why 27 governors mentioned early childhood education in their state of the state addresses and 14 were Republicans. Governors from Alabama, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, to name a few, all advocated for expanded access to preschool.
One reason why both liberals and conservatives support early childhood education is that it’s necessary to ensure our country’s economic health and military readiness. In fact, business and military leaders have called on the president and Congress to fund early childhood education.

Didi you know...

Preschool can save families thousands of dollars in child care costs each year. Early childhood education is an expense that few families can afford. The estimated cost of sending a four year old to a center-based child care ranges from $4,000 per year in Mississippi to $12,000 per year in Massachusetts. For families living below the poverty level with children under five, child care costs constitute 36 percent of a family’s budget each month. In most regions of the country, the cost of child care exceeds every other household expense, including housing, transportation, food, and health care. Few families have access to subsidies to help alleviate the cost of child care; just one in five eligible families receives those benefits.
And while child care is expensive, the quality varies considerably. In many cases, parents are paying for child care that is mediocre at best. In state preschools programs, the states dictate quality standards, such as ensuring that programs are taught by certified teachers with a college degree and mandating a developmentally appropriate curriculum. Thus, children are much more likely to be in high quality settings that are preparing them for school.
