About Appleseeds
Welcome to Appleseeds Day School, a privately owned child-care center.
Appleseeds philosophy: We value the rights of all children and families. We believe that the academic, social and emotional needs of the children are best met by working with the children’s interests.
.................................................................
Sisters, Katie Rose and Kelly Standen established Appleseeds Day School, Inc. in 1999. Katie, then a recent Boston College graduate working with young children, dreamed of opening a center of her own one day. Kelly, then a CPA and a new mom, discovered there was a desperate need for a first-rate, comprehensive child-care program for the growing number of parents in the Exeter area.
As a result of the combination of Katie’s dream and Kelly’s need, the two sisters began researching the nuts-and-bolts of providing high standards of child care and education. Two years later, construction began, and on March 18, 2002, Appleseeds Day School (Appleseeds) opened to the public, as a privately owned childcare center.
Today, Appleseeds has become a high quality child care center for over 120 families in the area. The school is over 7200 square feet, air conditioned, with a state of the art sprinkler and fire safety system and a large age-appropriate divided outdoor playground. Each classroom has two teachers with at least one if not both teachers holding a degree in early childhood education. The school is on two acres and is nestled in protected wetlands so the children can experience a natural setting while providing the parents with easy access to Routes 101 and 95 for commuting.
Our program celebrates that children learn best through hands on experiences while playing in the early childhood setting. “I love what we do,” said Kelly. “We’re making babies smile and giving parents a safe, positive center for their children. What could be better than that?”
