My son has been going to Applehill Academy in Howell for 2 years. He loves going to see his friends, his teachers and learn! I am so fond of the way Miss Heather leads her staff and spends time with the kids. Everyone there is always cheerful and excited to see us. I love the switch to Kids and Company as well. The app is awesome and I am always up to date on what my son is doing on a hourly basis. We are definitely an Applehill family!

I have been working at Apple Hill for a few months and my son attends as well. It’s been great! My son is very happy at drop off and the app to let me know about his day is helpful.

My son has been going to Apple Hill Academy since August 2022 when he was 6 months old. The staff is awesome, there is great communication, and my son always seems to be happy and learning!

My daughter has been going to Apple Hill for about a year now. The staff is so friendly and they really seem to know each parent/guardian. My daughter loves going, and often runs away from me during pick up to go back to playing and learning with her friends. She has become so talkative and social throughout her time there. We would highly recommend!

We’ve been part of the Apple Hill family for 6 years! Our almost 3 year old loves going to school and over the past 6 month has made so many strides in talking and communicating. He is always singing songs and telling us about his day and all his friends. The teachers are kind and caring and I’m always greeted with a smile.

The staff always have a smile on their faces when my family comes in everyday. My kids really enjoy the learning experience they get while here. If there is ever an issue, the staff bring it to the directors attention and call me immediately to inform me so I’m thankful for that.

We have sent my 3 year old daughter to preschool here since October this year and we cannot rave enough about how incredible this place is. The teachers are all so friendly and kind and really hear out and listen whenever an issue comes up if ever. They have a great lunch program that is super affordable and very easy and flexible. They give a full report on the children's day and even send photos throughout the day that my husband and I look so forward to. You will not regret sending your kids here it's awesome!!!!!

Apple Hill Academy has been amazing for my 3 year old son. After our previous preschool closed unexpectedly, Jill the owner of AHA was so helpful and welcoming and made my sons transition so seem less. He loves going to “the green school” and has been showing great improvements in both his language skills and imagination and creativity since starting. We get daily pictures and curriculum sheets as well as monthly calendars to keep us well informed which as a parent helps us to continue his education at home. I’m so glad we chose Apple Hill Academy for our son.

My husband and I spent a decent amount of time doing research as to where to send our three year old and we decided to go with Apple Hill Academy in Howell.
It’s been about 4 months now and we are very happy with our decision. We were initially worried as this was our Son first structured classroom setting , but he loves it!
My Husband and I really like the daily email the school sends detailing what the children learned. It helps us continue the education at home and initiate conversations with him.
Everyone has been very friendly and pleasant to speak with. We like the open communication so we know what’s going on.
Certainly happy with our decision and our son is happy as well.

My son is 3 years old and he started Apple Hill in Howell back in September. It was his first time going to a structured class setting on his own so my Wife and I were a bit nervous, but the school has been great.
Ms. Jill and the staff do an awesome job of making the little one feel welcome and he is having such a good time that he can't wait to tell us about it everyday. We also love that they send a detailed daily breakdown of what is taught in class. It gives us a chance to facilitate conversation with the little one when he gets home.
We did a lot of homework on where we wanted to send our Son and I am glad that we picked Apple Hill.

My son has attended Apple Hill since he was 4 months old and is currently 15 months. He loves it there! Whenever he is gone for more than a few days he always goes back giving all of the teachers hugs. Every day he jumps into their arms knowing he is going to have a great day. He comes home exhausted after having so much fun during the day. We get emails throughout the day of photos and an email at the end of the day of all of the things he did during the day which is wonderful. Highly recommend coming here

My daughter started at the Howell location about 3 weeks ago! She was welcomed with smiles and open arms. Skylar loves Miss Jill and all of her teachers. Skylar is well taken care of and always comes home a happy toddler. Any concerns are handled with urgency and always taken care of. We love Apple Hill Academy Howell!!

I could not say enough great things about Apple Hill - Howell! As a first time mom I was so nervous to put my child in daycare because she would be with "strangers" all day. Let me tell you, from the second we walked in for our tour, it was nothing but one big loving family. My daughter screeches in excitement when I drop her off and some time cries when I pick her up because she doesn't want to leave! Which as a parent, is a wonderful thing to experience. They are communicative, informative, they always have fun and different activities for the kids to do and my daughter always comes home with crafts she made through the week. When my daughter was showing some gross motor delays, they were happy to assist in any way to help her get moving (and yes she's moving now!)
Not only is the actual daycare clean and sanitized normally, but they're following the strict covid restrictions which has given me an extra layer of relief and my daughter an extra layer of protection. In addition, the parents of the other children are phenomenal. They support each other and reach out and really make you feel comfortable at the school.
We are so honored to be a part of this little family and recommend to everyone we know!

My daughter has been attending Apple Hill Academy in Howell since 2016, she started when she was 2 and is now on her way to Kindergarten. From the moment we walked into Apple Hill we knew this was the exact place we needed to be. The director Miss. Jill has cared for, and loved my daughter since day one. They are ALWAYS there, always willing to help, and so so caring. My daughter went through their 2's room, then Pre-K 3, and finally on to Pre-K 4. She has learned so much through her stay at Apple Hill, it has been an incredible journey. Just in the last year alone I watched my daughter grow so much. She learned how to write the letters of the alphabet, how to write her name, how to count to 100, site words, and so much more. She had homework every night last year, and it has not only helped her learn how to write, and do her numbers, but it also taught her structure. We are going to miss Apple Hill, they have really become like family, I can not thank them enough for all they have done for my daughter, especially Miss. Jill. If you are searching for the perfect Daycare/Preschool for your child stop looking, because this is the place you want to enroll your child. They really are planting the seeds for lifelong learning.

My son loves loves loves his school!!! His teachers are amazing and make sure his work and lesson plans are catered to his needs at his level! It’s such a feeling of home for the parents as well as kids. Miss Jill is a saint and has answered any and all questions a crazy parent can get through. My son jumps out of the car so fast when we arrive he forgets to say goodbye... I’m ok with it... I highly recommend this school!

Our son started at Apple Hill Academy Howell at 3 1/2 months old and he’ll be turning 3 next week. To this day I couldn’t be happier with the choice we made. Six weeks ago to the day, I fell and broke my leg in two days places and at 7 1/2 months pregnant I needed to undergo emergency surgery. Needless to say it has been a challenging time for our family, but the outpour of love and support that I received from the community at Apple Hill has been truly amazing. From the owner Jill Rivieccio to the staff and all of the families we are forever grateful. This is not just a daycare, but more like a family.

Apple Hill is amazing and my son would rather be there than home with his little sister He has grown so much and Apple Hill has molded my son into a smart, loving, chatty, friendly, and adventurous little boy! The staff there really cares and I know all of the students are loved! They treat the children with the upmost respect and kindness. My son went to Montessori in the past and I love this school much more. He gets dirty, plays with friends, does projects, is learning to read, write, do math, and engage with activities in the STEM room! I know it's tough to enroll your children in programs that you can't physically go inside and see b/c of these crazy times but as a parent who has walked through the school, this is the place to send your children!

My 2 year old son has been enrolled in Apple Hill Academy for the past 5 months, and he has done so well! I am impressed with the great teachers, the clean and safe environment, and all of the activities that are provided for the children. Every day he comes home with new arts and crafts, and is learning so many new things! He adores his teacher, Ms. Beth and she is always so excited to see him every morning. Ms. Jill has been more than accommodating to all of my needs. I definitely recommend Apple Hill!

Placing our 1 year old daughter, JJ, in daycare was one of the most difficult decisions that we have ever made. Choosing Apple Hill Academy was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Miss Jill runs an amazing facility and each member of her staff has been wonderful. We get multiple pictures of our baby girl every day, along with a sheet outlining her activities. JJ is thriving, she’s learning signs, just started walking, and now she smiles every morning we drop her off. I couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll at Apple Hill Academy!

My wife and I were lucky to find Apple Hill Academy right before the beginning of the school year. Both my kids love it. They wake up everyday excited to go to school. My wife and I love the staff and the facilities. They go the extra mile for safety and cleanliness. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a school for their children.

I am a nurse and had to find reliable care for my boys in April. We had previously looked at Apple Hill for my youngest, but due to the pandemic, had decided to keep them home. Once that became impossible, we reached out to Apple Hill. They have been nothing short of amazing since. They welcomed both of my boys (2 and 5) with open arms and hearts! Not only have my boys been well cared for, they have thrived! My wild child 2 year old is growing by leaps and bounds.
Most impressive, my 5 year old had so much anxiety since having to leave school. He understood there was a big issue going on, but could not process it fully. Since starting, he has relaxed and really opened up. He absolutely loves Apple Hill. He was able to explain to me, in the calmest way, why we should wear masks around others, the importance of hand washing, and 6ft social distancing! I was so impressed! When I asked him where he learned this, he proudly told me his teacher taught him.
As a parent, and nurse, I feel my boys are not only safe, but thriving at Apple Hill. My only wish is that I had sent my boys here sooner!

We're so lucky to have Apple Hill Academy taking care of my child! The staff and teachers are amazing: very patient, attentive, and very sweet. They create an amazing learning environment - I'm always surprised how much my kid is developing! And she loves the place! We wanted to say thank you so much for taking care of our baby since she is 3 months. You guys have made having to go to work and leave her much easier.

Our son started at Apple Hill in September. He is our first child, and this was his first time in a “school” setting. The director, Jill, was wonderful at putting our concerns at ease from the very beginning. When we came for the tour, Apple Hill’s cleanliness, friendliness, and safety feature immediately set them apart from other facilities we had been considering. Jill addressed all of our questions thoroughly and continues to go above and beyond to make sure that the not only is our son happy and comfortable, but that we are as well.
Throughout the transition process Jill, Helene, and the teacher, Ms. Jeanine, did an outstanding job. In less than two weeks, our son was thriving at Apple Hill. Every day is a new adventure of learning and exploration with his little friends at school. His language has exploded since starting there 2 months ago, and he comes home every day excited to tell us about all of his fun at Apple Hill.
We receive daily photos that brighten our workdays and a detailed daily sheet at pick up each day. My husband has attended numerous fun events that they have had for students and family, and they have even offered a parent night!
Our entire family loves Apple Hill! My husband and I are left at ease each day that he is there, and our son LOVES the curriculum, students, and his teachers & staff. We couldn’t be happier!
