Our New Center has a name: Appletree

Appleseed Childhood Education is proud to announce that our new center has a name – Appletree. 
​
Appletree is the vibrant, hopeful thing that has grown from small but determined Appleseed. We want Appletree to be a sheltering, nurturing place where parents feel secure bringing their children and where children are both safely rooted and free to explore and grow. We hope Appletree will become a source of community pride and wellbeing – a living, breathing reason to be optimistic about the future. 

Appletree’s Mission
The mission of Appletree is to provide consistent, high-quality child care and early childhood education. We want all children in our area to have the chance to grow and learn in a nurturing environment and all parents to have the child care help they need so their families can thrive. 

While Appletree is owned by the non-profit organization Appleseed Childhood Education, these partners make the center possible:

• Franciscan Health Rensselaer has provided a building (1102 E. Grace St.) 
• ​​Right Steps Child Development Centers will manage day-to-day operations
• Individual donors, public entities, area businesses, non-profit organizations, and grantors (local, state, and federal) have provided the funds necessary for creating, opening, and operating Appletree

Stay up to date with our project updates as our center plans to be open early 2023, following the completion of construction.
