Mother's Day Out - At Mother's Day
Out, we strive to provide a safe, loving environment for your child.
Your child can enjoy his/her "play day" while offering you time away
from the routines of parenthood. It is our hope that, as parents,
you can relax and enjoy the day off knowing your child is happy and
well cared for.
Children are placed into classes according to
birthday and/or development needs. Some of the activities during the
day include singing, doing craft projects, playing outside and
having a "quiet" rest time after lunch.
Currently, Apple Tree offers a toddler class of
eight children, and a two year old class, of 12 children, on Tuesday
and Thursdays. Toddlers must be 15 months on or prior to
September 30th and Two-Year-Olds must be two on or prior to
September 30th with no exceptions. All children must attend
both days.
Young 3's - Our young 3's Old program is geared toward
children who are 3 on or before December 31st.
There is a maximum of twelve (12) students in class, with each class
having a teacher and full time assistant. This class concentrates on
socialization activities, fine motor and gross motor development,
and language development.
These classes are recommended for children who are
potty trained but are not old enough for the three year old program
or who are not quite ready for a totally structured program because
of attention span or socialization concerns.
Three Year Old Classes - Our Three Year Old program
is open to children who are three on or before September 30.
These classes are recommended for three year old children who are
able to stay focused on a task. There is a maximum of fourteen (14)
children in each of our three year old classes, with each class
having a teacher and full time assistant. The three year old
curriculum includes the following concepts: colors, shapes, numbers
0-10, and alphabet, beginning scissors skills and gluing skills. The
children are offered a variety of activities and materials to
reinforce these beginning concepts.
Four Year Old Classes -Apple
Tree's Four Year Old program is open to children who will be four on
or before September 30. There is a maximum of sixteen (16) children
in each of our four year old classes with a teacher and full time
assistant. The four year old class is more structured than the 3
year old class but the same concepts are reviewed and expanded
upon. The curriculum includes numbers up to 20 and a
beginning phonics program is used. Additional units include
self awareness, animal classification, families, community helpers,
safety, weather, transportation, health and others.
Pre-K Classes - Apple Tree's
Pre-Kindergarten program is open to children who are four on or
before September 30. Each of the Pre-Kindergarten classes meets
five days a week with a maximum of sixteen (16) children in each
class. The Pre-K program covers the same materials as the four year
old program, with additional time for review. The Pre-K program also
includes sight words, number words, color words and a reading
readiness program.

several special events planned each year. Some of those events
may include a visit from the following: Louisiana Nature
