For more than 25 years, Inspire Early Education formerly known as Apple Hill Academy has been the child daycare and learning center that parents have trusted to look after their children and help them grow. We specialize in providing care for children ranging from 6-weeks old to 12-years old and we strive to create an environment in which all children in our care feel valued. We understand that each child is special, and we respect each child’s individual heritage. Notably, we encourage the development of ethnic pride, self-confidence, and the joy of learning, and we’re dedicated to forming strong and positive partnerships between parents and children and our staff. There are so many things that set our child daycare and learning center apart from other child care facilities in the area. For starters, we believe in taking a multi-sensory approach to teaching and we use methods that are catered directly to the individual needs of each child left in our care. We understand each child learns a little bit differently, and we make it our mission to find the most effective ways to teach children the skills they need to advance their social, emotional, intellectual, language, creative, and physical development.
