Appletree Rensselaer Early Learning Center Opens March 6
Rensselaer, IN - Right Steps Child Development Centers and Appleseed Childhood Education are proud to announce today’s opening of Appletree Rensselaer.
Appletree Rensselaer provides high-quality child care from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm CT, five days a week, 52 weeks a year, for up to 75 children ages six weeks through five years old. Located on the Franciscan Health Rensselaer campus at 1102 East Grace St, Appletree Rensselaer will double the number of licensed child care seats in Jasper County for infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children.
Appletree Rensselaer is operated by Right Steps Child Development Centers, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Lafayette, IN whose mission is to provide and advocate for quality early childhood education and care. Right Steps currently operates seven early learning centers in Tippecanoe, Newton, and Jasper Counties and administers other programs to strengthen the early care and education infrastructure in nearly 30 Indiana counties.
Adam Alson, president of Appleseed Childhood Education, said, “Today is the culmination of over three years of work by volunteers to make the idea of affordable, high-quality child care in Rensselaer a reality. Innumerable partners have shared both our vision and our belief that together we can make Rensselaer and Jasper County a better place. We thank them all.”
Right Steps co-CEO Tammey Lindblom said, “It has been a privilege to witness the work that can happen when committed individuals, families, parents, and community create and carry out a dream. A dream to grow, secure, enhance, and invest in the community. In this case, a quality early learning center. This center will promise to provide quality care for the children in this community. In turn, these early learners will contribute back in unlimited ways.”
Franciscan Health Rensselaer COO Carlos Vasquez said, “It is an honor for Franciscan Health Rensselaer to be an active partner on this project. The creation of this center has been a beacon of hope leading us out of the pandemic and into a bright future of high-quality early learning on the campus of Franciscan Health Rensselaer. Franciscan is grateful to fulfill its
mission in this community which we are privileged to serve by partnering with Appleseed and welcoming Appletree Rensselaer right here on our campus.”
Jasper Newton Foundation Executive Director Brienne Hooker added, “Jasper Newton Foundation is excited to witness the power of community collaboration in action. When people listen to the needs of their neighbors and then work together to meet those needs, real change happens and real things get built. We are thankful for the people who forged this path ahead of us, who started to meet the child care needs of the area over a decade ago. Thank you to Appleseed, who helped all of us see our power to build the community we want to have.”
Director of Appletree Rensselaer Maggie Schreyer said, "We are so excited to provide quality child care to families in Rensselaer and the greater community. I look forward to Appletree being a positive, nurturing environment where children will thrive and staff can grow professionally."
Appleseed Childhood Education, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, was established in 2020 to increase the availability of affordable, high-quality child care opportunities in Rensselaer and surrounding areas.

Franciscan Health Rensselaer partners with local nonprofit to address rural child care shortage.
Rensselaer, IN - Franciscan Health Rensselaer has partnered with Appleseed Childhood Education to address the lack of quality child care options for families in Jasper County. To help meet the crucial community need for more child care seats, Franciscan Health is leasing a building on its Rensselaer hospital campus to Appleseed for the creation of a new high-quality licensed early learning center set to open later this year.
Design work on the building at 1102 East Grace Street in Rensselaer is underway. When renovations are complete, the facility will meet state licensing requirements for providing daytime child care five days a week for around 70 children ages six weeks old through five years old.
“Early child care is essential to our community, crucial to local workforce, and Franciscan Health Rensselaer is proud to partner with Appleseed Childhood Education to make this possible,” said Carlos Vasquez, vice president and chief operating officer at Franciscan Health Rensselaer.
Adam Alson, president of Appleseed said, “Thanks to our new partner, Franciscan Health Rensselaer, our community is another very big step closer to having a financially sustainable high-quality licensed early childhood education center for our kids and families.”
Jasper County-based nonprofit Appleseed Childhood Education was formed in January 2020 to address the lack of licensed early childhood education programs in the area. With only one licensed child care center in the county currently (Growing Patch Learning Center in Remington), the new center in Rensselaer will provide a full-time care option in the geographic center of the county. The new center will double the number of seats available for infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children.
The new center in Rensselaer will be operated by Right Steps Child Development Centers, a nonprofit organization based in Lafayette with over 50 years of experience serving families and providers in the area of nationally accredited early childhood development. Currently, Right Steps operates five centers in the Greater Lafayette area, one center in Goodland, and Growing Patch Learning Center in Remington.
Debi Debruyn, Right Steps Child Development president and CEO said, “Right Steps is proud of the solid foundation we have established in Jasper County with the Growing Patch center. We are excited to expand this valuable partnership with Appleseed Childhood Education to manage the day-to-day operations of this new center and bring even more high-quality early childhood education to the area.”
The partnership between Franciscan Health and Appleseed Childhood Education is the first of its kind in Rensselaer and part of a growing effort in the area to bring together community organizations and businesses to address local problems. The area’s community foundation, the Jasper Newton Foundation, connected Franciscan Health Rensselaer and Appleseed.
Brienne Hooker, executive director of the Jasper Newton Foundation said, “This is the kind of transformative partnership that the Jasper Newton Foundation is looking to create–not only for quality child care and education, but for other real needs in our community. Franciscan Health Rensselaer stepped up in a way that honors their mission and honors our community. We can build the community we want to have if we can come together like this.”
While inadequate child care infrastructure is a challenge for communities across Indiana, Appleseed views its partnership with Franciscan Health Rensselaer as a unique opportunity.
“Lack of quality child care options, including care provided by a licensed center, is a problem for most rural communities,” Alson said. “Our community is fortunate to have a partner like Franciscan Health who recognizes our collective needs and is willing to engage in projects toward solving problems.”
