The Reason For Red Apple
Begun as a kindergarten in 1966 with 20 students,
Red Apple has grown to almost 200 students for two years old through kindergarten.
Red Apple serves families from the Mid-Cities area, as well as the surrounding
communities of Colleyville, Fort Worth, Grapevine, Keller, and Southlake. We are
blessed with a staff of more than 30 people who are dedicated to nurturing each child
as unique and special.
We
offer an integrated program including art, music, PE, Spanish, drama, block centers,
language, math, book centers, story times, reading readiness, and large and fine motor
development. These activities are carefully planned and implemented by the teachers
to help develop the child in social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual growth.
Our low staff-to-child ratios afford the children needed individual attention.
We are proud of our accreditation by the National Association for the Education
of Young Children (NAEYC).
Our religious curriculum, which is Bible-based and follows the Lutheran church year calendar,
is integrated into all aspects of our day. It is also reflected in the way our teachers manage
their classrooms in the areas of discipline, maintaining order, helping children to settle disputes
and overall interaction with the children. Chapel is held on Wednesday at 9:15 a.m. and Thursday at
9:15 a.m.. Parents are welcome to attend anytime.
All God's Children
Enrollments are accepted without regard to race, religion, sex, or national origin. Because we believe
that we are all God's children, we will accept, after careful evaluation, a very limited number of
children with special needs. These children will be admitted on a case-by-case, year-by-year basis. It
is expected that these children will greatly benefit from their life in a regular classroom, and that
all of us can grow in experience and love because of their presence.
Classes Offered
We offer programs for two, three, four, and five-year olds and Kindergarten. Several class options are
available, including ½ day classes for 2’s; ½ day classes for 3’s with optional Extended Care
in the afternoon; full day classes for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten. Class times are 9:00-2:30.
Children must be potty trained for all classes except for the 2-year old classes.
