We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Appletree Preschool in Castle Hill. Our daughter transferred here from another childcare centre where we weren’t completely happy, and the difference has been incredible. From day one, she felt welcomed, supported and safe, and she has settled in so beautifully. Every single member of the team is warm, caring and genuinely supportive, which made the transition smooth and stress-free for both our daughter and us as parents. The educators clearly take the time to get to know each child and truly care about their wellbeing and development. It’s been such a relief to see our daughter so happy, confident and excited to go to preschool each day. Communication has been excellent, and we always feel informed and reassured. We’re so grateful to the Appletree team and would highly recommend this centre to any family looking for a nurturing, positive and supportive preschool environment.

Appletree Preschool has been an incredible experience for my family! Both of my children attend (my son has just graduated) and I can honestly say that enrolling them here was the best decision we ever made. I am truly blown away by the dedication and care the staff provide. They go above and beyond every day to make each child feel special, and they celebrate big events in a way that fosters a strong sense of community. It's a place where everyone feels welcomed and accepted. What impresses me most is the staff’s remarkable ability to know each child individually. They create engaging activities that cater to my children’s interests, strengths, and areas where they need support. It’s clear that they genuinely care about the growth and development of each child. Both of my children have thrived in their care, developing socially, emotionally, and cognitively in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I am so grateful for the nurturing environment at Appletree Preschool. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a wonderful place for their little ones!

My daughter has been attending Apple Tree Preschool in Castle hill since the age of 2. When she first started, she was shy, barely expressing herself, lacked social skills and confidence to communicate. Two years later and she has blossomed into a confident and expressive child who has made new friends and engages well. I believe the staff at this pre school have made a huge impact on the development of my child. The small class sizes have meant that my child receives lots of care and attention. The staff are friendly, attentive, and have fostered a love for learning in my child. She looks forward to coming to preschool each day. We travel 20 minutes to attend this center and I could not be more proud of my decision. Highly recommend.
