Dear Preschool Family,

We are honored by your request for information about our Pre-Elementary Programs; we consider it an absolute privilege to serve your child on this early learning journey. Whether you are considering our Apple Seeds Program (for 2’s and 3’s), Preschool Program (for 3’s and 4’s), Pre-Kindergarten Program (for 4’s and 5’s), or our Enrichment Program (for 3’s, 4’s, and 5’s), we are committed to providing an excellent opportunity for your child to grow in all areas—social, emotional, cognitive, physical (fine and gross motor skills), creative, and academic.

At Apples of Gold we are committed to providing classes which consider the students’ developmental stage and incorporate research-based curriculum. To fuel this process, each lead instructor is a licensed teacher and attends additional professional development in early childhood education yearly. Our facility is equipped with hundreds of resources and a variety of child-engaging centers to support student inquiry and discovery as well as teacher directed instruction.

The Apples of Gold Pre-Elementary Services Center is a large, vibrantly colorful, modern, beautifully equipped facility. Furthermore, although our facility is licensed to hold 30 preschoolers, we limit our programs to no more than 16 students per session; for our 3-to-5 year old programs, we follow a ratio of one teacher per eight children, and for the Apple Seeds program, we honor a ratio of one teacher per five or fewer children.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to schedule a tour of our facility or if you have questions about any of our programs. We are here to help each child develop his or her potential for success in future academics and in all of life. Eagerly and with joy, we look forward to serving your child through one of our high quality programs this coming fall.

Beginning Monday, March 2nd registration forms for the above programs will be available online at applesofgold.biz, or if you prefer, please contact us at 641.521.5537 for a registration packet.

Sincerely in Your Service,

Elizabeth Dawn Hoksbergen, MSE
Director of Instruction Services
