When looking for a spot to bring your child for care, it can be kinda stressful! Both on the child…read moreand the parents! But I could not be happier with the decision to go to Apple Tree. Our son started here at 18 months! And we have been here for almost 3 months now. They told us that there would be a transition time for him and the parents and they were so right. But we found that they paid attention to the small stuff and saw he was connecting to a certain teacher and that has really helped feel more at home! I really love how they have a mobile app that gives the parents up dates through the day on what the kids are doing, eating, playing with, learning, and how nap times and diaper changes go! And they send you photos! That really helps the parents feel good about how these long days are going. The meals are varied and so are the snacks! They have both indoor and outdoor time and the school is very clean! The staff is very informative and friendly and I always feel great about dropping him off there! The parents get their own safety code for the door so they can drop by anytime they like! It might be a bit more expensive that other places, but you get what you pay for and I couldn't be happier with our decision. Our song even looks forward to giving the little Apple Tree Bear on the sign a High Five when dropping off or picking him up! Oh so fun! I feel he is developing skills here he would not get at home with busy parents working. And that feels good! The memories that will be made here!

It's so wonderful having a place we completely trust and are thankful to send our kids to. I love the Montessori philosophy and inquiry based learning methods. They do such a great job supporting children's natural curiosity while also teaching independence, responsibility and important life skills. I've been so impressed with how's much my kids have learned and how's much fun they have! They love their teachers, they do so many fun activities and never seem to get bored. I'm also impressed with how often the activities in the room change, and all the cool arts projects they bring home! The owner and all the teachers are truly the best people; kind, nurturing, patient with a solid sense of humor. We're so lucky to have MCC in our lives!

Overall I like this daycare. I've taken my son here since he turned 2 and plan on continuing until…read morehe has to enter Kindergarten. While, they're not as strict as other Montessori daycares, I find that a good approach. Children are meant to be children and they discover with play. Applying strict rules to everything restricts kids imagination but that doesn't mean that they are not given structure. As far as I've seen, they keep the kids active during the summer, and whenever weather permits during the winter. I like that they don't have TV and their playground is great. They are right across from a park so they go there during the summer sometimes. The only thing Im not too happy about is when I've called to let them know about something, I feel like i'm always rushed by the person at the other end.

As an employee at Yellow Brick Road in Norwalk, I want to offer a different perspective. I have had…read morea very positive experience working under our Director, Jessica Lopez. She leads with dedication, high standards, and a strong commitment to both the children and staff. While no workplace is perfect, I have always felt supported and valued here. Safety, compliance, and communication are taken seriously by our team, and any concerns are addressed through appropriate channels. I've personally seen firsthand the care and effort that go into maintaining a nurturing and organized environment for both the children and staff. Unfortunately, like many workplaces, we occasionally encounter challenges that can disrupt the smooth, safe, and nurturing environment we strive to maintain. Issues such as frequent call-ins, difficulty following established guidelines, or failure to remain engaged and present in the classroom--such as through improper phone use--can impact both staff and child well-being. To better support our team and ensure the highest standard of care, we are implementing a policy that removes personal phones from the classroom. This change is intended to reduce distractions, prevent avoidable incidents, and increase meaningful engagement with the children. I also want to take a moment to recognize Jessica Lopez, our director. Since I began working here in February, I've never had a leader who shows such genuine care for her team. She ensures we have the tools and support needed to succeed and checks in with us regularly to see how we're doing. Jessica consistently acknowledges and rewards hard work. I started as a full-time floater and was promoted to lead teacher within a month. By May, I was asked to mentor new teachers, and now I'm in the process of becoming an On-Site Supervisor--an opportunity she offered because she sees potential in me and values my contributions. Simply put, when you put in the effort, Jessica notices--and she makes sure it counts. It's unfortunate that someone had such a negative experience, but I encourage families and potential team members to visit the center themselves, meet the leadership, and see the environment firsthand before making any decisions. I'm proud to be part of the Yellow Brick Road team! Blake Gooding Two Year Old Lead Teacher
