What Parents Say About Apple Tree Playhouse
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both my children have graduated from Apple Tree Playhouse and I am deeply grateful for the Principal Ms Wen, their teachers-Teacher Elaine, Ya Jie Lao Shi and their staff Ms Dana, Ms Carol and the wonderful team at the school. Putting my children at Apple Tree have provided me with great peace of mind throughout their preschool education since 2020. What I love best about the school is that they have a team who is strong in their education belief, possesses strong values and are good role models to the children. Through their daily interactions, communications, activities and celebrations, we sensed that the school truly puts the children at the heart of all they do. They value the children‘s voices, they respect their pace and they provided a safe space for the children to grow individually and as a class. Most importantly, they have designed and made learning fun for the children and have preserved their curiosity and joy of learning. The environment is conducive to spark conversations and questions. My children have grown to be confident, caring and grateful under the school’s care and we are very glad and assured to have chosen to place our kids here.

My family has been with Apple Tree Playhouse since 2021, starting with my first child — and now, all three of my kids are happily enrolled here. We couldn’t have asked for a better preschool experience. Despite moving further away from the school 2 years ago, we chose to remain with the school even if it meant that the daily commute will be longer and less convenient. The teachers are genuinely caring, nurturing, and incredibly supportive. They take the time to understand each child’s needs and always make the effort to communicate with parents regularly. The warmth and dedication of the staff have created a safe and loving environment that my children look forward to every day. Special mention goes to the principal, Ms Wen, who does an excellent job managing the school. She leads with both professionalism and heart, and it clearly reflects in the positive atmosphere and well-run operations. We also appreciate how well the school handles situations like virus outbreaks — with timely updates, clear communication, and responsible safety measures. It gives us peace of mind knowing our children are in good hands. Another highlight is the many events and activities the school organises to involve parents and even grandparents. Whether it’s celebrations, performances, or special themed days, these events create meaningful opportunities for us to be part of our children’s learning journey and build connections with teachers and fellow parents. Thank you, Apple Tree Playhouse, for giving our children such a strong, joyful start to their early education journey!Posted on Michelle LimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
