We work closely with our parents to ensure we provide consistent home to school care and utilize full size daily sheets to ensure communication is thorough. Our babies are cuddled, rocked, and loved dearly by our teachers. They also get to play with their friends and start to learn skills like rolling over, crawling, and taking steps. Each baby is on their own schedule, and our development goals are individualized for each child. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"692\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/appletreeconnections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911_094859-692x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2139 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appletreeconnections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911_094859-692x1024.jpg 692w, https:\/\/appletreeconnections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911_094859-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/appletreeconnections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911_094859-768x1137.jpg 768w, https:\/\/appletreeconnections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911_094859-1037x1536.jpg 1037w, https:\/\/appletreeconnections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911_094859-1383x2048.jpg 1383w, https:\/\/appletreeconnections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230911_094859-scaled.jpg 1729w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 692px) 100vw, 692px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Turtles- Miss Lindsey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miss Lindsey has been working in childcare for 10+ years.
