                                This school transformed my very unhappy little boy into a talking, engaged child. My little boy started in August after being at an another school for 18 months.  We made the easy decision to take him out of his previous school as he was miserable. He was not talking and some mornings he refused to get out of the car. He had lost all interest in reading and books and refused to hold a pencil/crayon.  TFollowing our instinct, we approached Apple Tree. 

From day one the director made us feel that our son would be treated with care tempered with the need for discipline and that his interests would be looked after. She stressed that this was school that centered around the chidlren.  He is now a happy child who is talking 100% more than did prior to August, who is counting and showing renewed interest in reading and "writing".   

I am deeply apprecaitive of the care and patience that the staff at the show have shown my child.  I would always recommend this school to any who ask. 

I have paid less in terms of fees but the quality was lacking. I believe that the fees are justified as I am not looking for day but a facility that provides a proper foundation in all aspects of my child's life. Apple tree certainly provides that!

Our daughter has been there for almost two years now. The teachers are well trained in the Montessori way.

Class size is fairly small - around 22 kids and 2-3 teachers.

Price is a bit steep especially if they go to after care, but we really dont mind given the service we receive.

Recommended to anyone in the area.                ]]></description>

                                I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the Principle and staff of Apple Tree Montessori. My daughter Emma was an introverted little girl and found it very difficult to settle in her previous school. I was very concerned about her lack of involvement in the academic side of things, but more importantly her general happiness.<br />
<br />
We are delighted to report that Emma has since settled nicely into Apple Tree Montessori. She is now 'up to speed' academically speaking and is progressing beautifully; she has made some solid friendships and is an overall happy little girl.<br />
<br />
I am deeply grateful for the unconditional dedication and affection Emma has received from the staff at Apple Tree Montessori.<br />
<br />
Keep up the good work!                ]]></description>

                                From what I have seen, the youngest groups at the Gingerbread House spend far too much time watching television, rather than doing anything constructive. Our dietary requirements for our son has, at times, been ignored, and while there is much fuss made about the importance of the message book, it is not in use, nor do staff check it regularly.                ]]></description>

She started with you late in February this year and by mid March she was able to speak English. My wife and I were very impressed because it was her first experience in that environment as we were coming from rural areas in the Eastern Cape. She never interacted with English speaking. Today, when she is at home and we speak Xhosa, she will tell us " No Daddy, we speak english only" at times you get surprise when she finishes a proper sentence without mixing her home language.<br />
<br />
Keep up the Good work and am looking forward continuing the journey with you until she reaches the primary age.<br />

                                My son was 2yrs old when he started attending Brakanjan. For the first month he was in tears when I left him with his teacher, but he never once told me that he didn't want to go to school. The kids are well fed, get a good education & parents get a weekly update of what subject was covered during the week & what subject will be covered the  next week.  At the BJ Athletics Day parents & kids (And grannies!)  can participate and at the Art Evening, parents can ''buy'' their child's artwork. Teachers are caring,organised & easy to talk to. Most important of all my son is very happy at Brakanjan.                ]]></description>

                                This is based on my personal experience that i feel this school is adding so much value to my daughter's moulding in her junior years. She is attending her second year and the curriculum offered to the students is of higher grade standards. Yes there is slight room for improvement around the grounds but that is where us as parents should become actively involved with assistance/support.Just to comment re "melody - Nasty teacher" review, those teachers are at school from before 07h00 in the morning and are most understanding when a call is made to inform them of late collections.                ]]></description>
