AppleGate Academy & Preschool

"This day care don’t even deserve a star. My grandson has been going here since he was three months. He is now 3. There are so many incidents that accord with my grandson that my daughter should have reported. The owner is rude and does not know how to run that daycare. Ms lorreta is very unprofessional how do you tell a mother that they are tired of their kid. And that your child should have been kicked out when he was in the two year old class… there is no type of structure in the class room. And they label a child being autistic. They are not doctors to be labeling anyone child. I would not recommend this daycare."

"All 5 of my daughters ages range from 6wks- 10yrs have attended Applegate Academy. My 3 oldest attended until preK and has been Straight A students since they left. My Kindergartener who just started school is at the top of her class, scoring in 1st grade category. Applegate is not only a daycare they are Family! The owner Stands on Business! She keeps it professional and plays no games about the Childern and their education. Every morning she takes time out to read to a class. I have witnessed this daily. Ms.Loretta is the nurturer of the facility. The teachers are Awesome!!! Applegate has never let me down. Did I mention I drive from MLK EVERY MORNING TO DROP MY BABIES OFF!! I pass a thousand other daycares but I know they are safe at Applegate while I’m working!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DAYCARE"

"My son attended daycare here for 2.5 years, until he attended pre-k at the elementary school. The staff were sweet and professional with him and absolutely helped pick up our slack when we struggled with things like potty training. It can be a long day for the kids, but the structure of the school day has been incredibly formative and positive for my son."

"Horrible!!!! unprofessional!!!! Director rude as hell with bad attitude!!! the staff hits the kids! My child was hit by office manager and 2 year old teacher! High turn over rate for teachers they hire any and everybody and make it seems like your child the problem. Office manager lorreta is a complusive liar and hits the children as well"

"Terrible baby had unexplainable bruises staff is nonchalant and rude. No warmth at this facility. Baby was shaking terribly with them he went to another daycare and had a way better outcome. They try to pre-warn you about bruises but my baby was injured within first hour without a call to notify. They treat you like whatever when it comes to your baby"
