Emergency Childcare near Franconia, VA

Infant Program

At this age, your infant is mainly learning through observation and exploration. For example, as our Infant teachers talk and sing with your child during feeding, diaper changes and playtime, your little one is beginning to understand language and conversation. Nurturing interactions like these will fill your child’s day and can be adapted and personalized to meet their individual needs.

Toddler Program

In our Toddler program, you’ll find carefully selected equipment that our newest walkers love to climb on, crawl through and hide in while stretching their gross motor skills. Teachers also use books, toys, games and other materials to create exciting explorations into colors, shapes, science and more.

Before & After Care

Program hours are from 7:00am - 8:00am (before care) and 3:15pm - 6:00pm (after care). The before care and extended day team is led by AppleTree teaching assistants. Fee is based on the family's status with the NSLP (National School Lunch Program). Our school partners have different extended day programs. Please check with the school manager for more details.
