Early Childhood Programs - Appleton Parks and Recreation

play. learn. develop. grow

Appletots Learning Center focuses on early childhood education programs.  We use a play-based approach to learning in all of our educational programs.  All of our classes emphasize on the following developmental standards:

  • Health and Physical Development
  • Social and Emotional Development
  • Language and Communication Development
  • Basic Life Skills
  • Mathematics, Science and Problem-Solving Skills

We offer parent/child and independent classes for children 0 to 5 years old.  All classes are held either downtown at City Center or at the Scheig Center in Appleton Memorial Park.  Each class has a different emphasis so there is something for everyone.  Our experienced teachers are excited to bring these fun, educational experiences to your little ones.
