Our infant center provides a safe and loving environment where children can grow and develop their early independence. We effectively communicate with children, families and educators. We treat each child as an individual and as an equal free from bias. We believe the children lead the way to learning through natural play and the ability to grow on their own time.
As your child grows and becomes more independent, they begin to make the transition from an infant to a toddler. Children at this age are inventors, builders, problem solvers, discoverers and dreamers. They learn about the world around them as they take things apart and put them back together. We give your toddler the necessary tools they need to aid them in accomplishing their goals; thereby, helping to lay the foundation for all intellectual and emotional development to follow.
Our TK Program focus is on encouraging the children to become independent, critical thinkers who learn through exploration and self expression. Special attention is paid to children’s emerging competence in new and more complex play built on earlier experiences. Learning occurs as a result of activities involving trial and error, manipulation, and repetition. Cognitive, motor and physical skills are developed through active exploration and interaction with materials, adults and other children. Natural curiosity, insight and eagerness to solve problems motivate the children to participate. Interpersonal problems are addressed by more sophisticated means such as, cooperating and negotiating.
Engaging and fun every day: That’s our school age program way!!
School-age kids age 5-12 want to feel all grown up, yet they still crave comfort and security. So instead of just daycare, our child care program is designed to support their increasing interest in sports, art, music and more, both before and after school.
Teachers provide a balance of organized and self-selected activities, all in a positive, supportive atmosphere. Whether relaxing, doing homework or having fun with friends, children thrive as members of Appleseeds Academy after school program. And you’ll have peace of mind knowing your child is safe and having fun.
Afternoon care for students who attend the Transitional Kindergarten at LTUSD is available for those students who attend the TK program at Tahoe Valley Elementary or Bijou Elementary. Students can take the bus over to our school for more added learning. Students usually arrive by 12:15 - 12:20 pm.
Students from Tahoe Vally and Bijou will join our TK students for our afternoon program.
