I have trusted Appleberry Beginnings with my son's care, while doing my PhD. I couldn't be happier and more satisfied. Katie is an extraordinary caregiver who is both caring and professional. She adores her kids and they adore her back. Cookie is a loving and generous soul akin to a maternal grandmother, always providing a sense of comfort and warmth...and delicious food.

My son truly enjoyed their home and I have had my peace of mind when it comes to his care. I strongly recommend Appleberry Beginnings for any parent who is looking for a safe, caring, and loving place for their kids.

To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to give the highest recommendation and appreciation for Kate and Appleberry Beginnings Child Care services.

Kate is extremely good with kids and makes all feel welcome and well cared for. She is resourceful and always goes the extra mile to provide the best care possible for our kids.

Her knowledge and available tools for early child development is coupled with a warm, safe and inviting environment.

We are so happy and grateful that she has returned to Marin, to the area in which she calls home. Christine, Kates mother is also a wealth of knowledge and is simply amazing with kids. She has also made a huge impact on our outstanding and positive experience.

Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any further questions about Appleberry Beginnings.

Sincerely,

David Wells CEC

I started bringing my daughter to Kate at 3 months old, and she loved being there! She loved the other babies, and Kate's activities and attentiveness. When we moved from California, I was heartbroken to lose Katie. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I've used Kate for backup care and just love her place. My son does really well with her and comes home so happy and tired from all the interaction. I especially appreciate how clean everything is; every toy has a place and is in order and wiped clean daily. She keeps notes of the day, communicates well and responds to texts quickly.
