Crabapple Academy
About the Business
Crabapple Academy, located at 285 Rucker Road in Alpharetta, Georgia, is a family owned and operated private school for early childhood education. Established in 1991, we pride ourselves on providing a vibrant, compassionate, and creative community for children, parents, and teachers. Our graduates have gone on to excel in academics, sports, and the arts, thanks to our personalized approach to education.
At Crabapple Academy, we believe in fostering strong relationships between teachers, children, and parents. Our small size and independent ownership allow us to create a warm and familial environment that is enriching and communicative. Once you step foot in "the Apple," you will understand what sets our school apart.
Our core curriculum, developed by director Sara Hake and enhanced by owner Ellen Farnsworth, combines various early childhood ideologies and philosophies. We focus on traditional values such as manners, safety, and respect, while also incorporating principles of the Reggio Emilia approach. This includes an engaging environment, long term class projects, and an emphasis on community building through artistic expression.
As an independent institution, we have the freedom to develop a curriculum that prepares children for kindergarten and beyond. Our goal is to instill problem-solving skills, creativity, effective communication, appropriate behavior, academic performance, and confidence in every child who walks through our doors. Join us at Crabapple Academy and experience the difference for yourself.

Reviews
"We switched our daughter to Crabapple Academy in January, and we wish we had done it sooner. We are absolutely thrilled with the administration and all staff, employees, and teachers. They are beyond caring and passionate for each child, no matter the age. I feel so lucky as a mother to have my daughter (and soon to be second daughter) in a school that I know truly cares about her and her wellbeing. I could not recommend C.A. enough!"
"My son attended Crabapple Academy for Georgia PreK 1, and I cannot express how happy I was with everything they did throughout the school year. My son has nut allergies, and they were incredibly cautious and attentive to this matter. Ms. Nitzbeil was exceptional with all the kids. When I asked my son how she handles them when they're upset, he said she gives them hugs until they feel better, and that just melted my heart. Ms. Sara, Ms. Ellen, and Ms. Elizabeth were all wonderful as well. You can truly trust them with your child, and that is the most important thing. Today was the Pre-K graduation day, marking the last day of school, and I'm writing this to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of them. Thank you all for being so awesome and caring towards our kids."
"Crabapple Academy is simply amazing. My only regret is that my older son wasn't able to attend when he was younger like his little brother. My 3 year old absolutely loves going to "his apple school" (when he used to cry about going to his previous school.) I highly recommend...from the monthly art themes woven into the curriculum, the incredible school Director, staff & teachers, and the way they are navigating the current environment/covid situation with utmost safety while making the little ones feel happy and at ease...my family couldn't be happier with the Apple!"
"We absolutely love Crabapple Academy and the love and care they have provided for both of our children. The staff is so friendly and it truly feels like a family that we are all apart of. As a lover of the arts, I am so impressed with the monthly curriculum focus on different artists, coordinating hands-on learning, and themed monthly photo shoots. The photographs taken by Ms. Ellen are amazing and look fantastic decorating the walls of the school (and our home). The updates and pictures of classroom activities through SeeSaw is a fabulous way to stay connected and help us have better conversations with our toddler about what she did at school."
"We cannot say enough great things about The Apple! Both of our daughters have gone here. One since 3 and the other since 8 months so we have experienced all of the different rooms and teachers and have been happy consistently. The teachers and staff are so friendly and fun, it really feels like a family there. We feel so lucky to have found this school and are sad our youngest graduates this spring. Also Ellen the owner volunteers her time to take beautiful photos of the kids all year long. It is an amazing perk"
