If I could rate it zero stars I would. My child was one of the kids they CHOSE to let go after 4…read moreteachers walked out in 1 day. I say chose because they lied to me and many other parents saying they closed 4 classrooms due to staffing shortage but never actually closed them. They picked and chose through each of the classrooms to decide who they wanted to keep and who they would let go and moved the kids they wanted to keep in lieu of others spots. The teachers were AMAZING but they were the ones that left for very good reasons and it was NOT out of the blue as they voiced concerns prior to leaving. I have so many horror stories about the owner and director that it makes me sick. Do yourself a favor and do NOT send your child here.

I think Debbie G. should consider removing her review, as I'm sure she is confused with the…read morelocation. Colorful Apples has been nothing short of amazing for my family. My son spent a month and a half at their Hooksett location before transferring to their Manchester location (there wasn't an opening in Manchester yet) and both schools are incredible. There are 3 sisters that own and operate these locations - them and their staff clearly love what they do. It was apparent with how happy my son would be when I picked him up, and how happy he was to be dropped off (after the initial crocodile tears) I am so looking forward to continue being a part of the Colorful Apples family and I would recommend either location to anyone looking for excellent childcare. It feels so good not to worry about the well-being of my child while I'm at work. Thank you to the entire Colorful Apples staff. We love you!

Dropping your baby off for the first day of daycare after being home with them full time might be…read morethe hardest thing a parent does. Thankfully I made a wonderful choice for my daughter's daycare with Colorful Apples! Since day one, the teachers have put my mind at ease. They are on top of everything that goes on and give my child so much attention and love that I could not be happier. The center in Manchester is small and I really love the family atmosphere it creates. You get to know all the kids and parents quickly. There is no greater comfort than feeling like your child is well loved and taken care of when you can't be there and that is what Colorful Apples has given me. Thank you so much Dawn, Liz and Amber.
