                     More Comments from Parents of our students:
                            
My child has grown so much since starting at APL.  He enjoys going to school and comes
home singing new songs and repeating everything he learned for the day/  
I choose APL because a friend recommended the school and it is everything she has told
me and more.  APL is a great place to send your child and introduce them to learning and 
how much fun it can be for them.

Our son enjoys going to APL school.  He has made many friends, learned about so many new 
things and really developed a love of learning.  We feel he will be well prepared academically 
for kindergarten in the fall.

My daughter and I both love APL school!  I looked at many preschools but was not happy with 
any of them until I found APL.  I was looking for a good mix of academic work and social 
interaction, and APL offered both.  They do not operate like a daycare like many other 
preschools that I saw, instead they actually work to prepare the kids for kindergarten.  
They work every day on reading and math, and my daughter has developed in both areas so much 
over the past few months.  The teachers offer individual attention to each child and cater 
instruction to meet their current academic needs.  They really care about each child, too, 
and treat each of them as unique and special—I can see the love my daughter has for her teachers.  
She loves coming to school at APL, and I feel safe and secure dropping her off there, knowing 
she will have fun, learn and grow.

APL school system is one of the best schools in the Franklin area.  They have adopted state 
of the art teaching system that gives the students confidence and eager to get knowledge.  
My son, Muhammed Muddasir is attending the school since last eight months and I have observed 
a lot of positive changes in him in addition to learning basic skills.  He is always happy to 
go to school and asking every morning about the school, “Is there school today?”
English is our second language and by joining APL Muddasir has improved his language ability. 
APL has given him an excellent start in his education and this confidence and basic skills 
learned here will be part of his creativity and career through out his life.  Thanks to the 
teachers and administrators of the APL school for caring for my son.

We love APL school.  We chose APL school because of the wonderful teachers.
We plan on sending our next child to APL school too.

What do you like about APL (Apple School)?   
1.	Close to my home.
2.	He learns everything in APL.
3.	I like everything in APL, the teachers and the parents   And the school is clean.
4.	He (my son) enjoys playing with his friends, the teachers, learning how to write.  
        He enjoys dancing and coloring and listening to the story.  I can’t say everything. 
        Just I want to tell the teacher thank you so much about everything.

I wanted to give my kids a “jump start” before entering kindergarten.  And I suppose, being a 
first time parent, I needed the opportunity to brace myself for the idea of my kids soon being 
gone from home for eight hours.  APL school provided a nearby location for my kids to attend 
preschool.  The classes, which are approximately 2 ½  hours long, either two or three times a 
week, are well structured and designed to get the kid’s attention.  My children have learned 
so much in such a short amount of time—it’s amazing!  My son, Mikey (4 y/o) knows how to write 
his name, place events in chronological order, and was telling me what paleontologists’ do!  
My daughter, Julie (3 y/o) knows the sounds and can identify all the letters in the alphabet, 
can write her own name, and is now quite the social butterfly (which is quite amazing, since 
she was shy prior to entry into APL).  They’ve been on field trips, had Halloween, Christmas 
and Valentine’s parties, and have even put on a school play!  I’m so thankful to APL for all 
that they’ve taught my kids.  They’ve instilled in them that school is “awesome”.

We couldn’t be happier with the educational experience our son is receiving at APL.  He has 
really come out of his shell and enjoys school and playing with his friends very much.  We are 
excited to send our daughter to APL in 2 years.
                                         Erin Mentkowski   2/2011

We love the style of teaching.  Sending daughters to APL helped them get ready for full day 
kindergarten.  We are thrilled that both our girls were able to benefit from APL, and have 
Mrs. Sohns and Mrs. Charnon as teachers.  Our oldest (9 yrs.) still loves to pull out her APL 
DVD and watch it!  Thanks for doing such a great job!
                                         Susan Rolbiecki    2/2/11

We love the school because Devin seems like he is developing well.  Devin is doing very well there.  
The best thing a parent can ask for is for their child to enjoy school.  We really are happy we made 
the decision to bring Devin to APL.
                                         Victor and Lule Isaj     2/4/11

What I really like about APL is the combination of different teaching concepts combined into one 
unique, complete learning experience.   The teachers have many years of experience and are truly 
exceptional.  My child is doing great and is constantly talking about what is learned.  I chose APL 
because it really is one of a kind when compared to other options.  My advice to new parents is to 
follow lesson plan topics and discuss at home.

We love the Greendale APL because of the loving and dedicated teachers, Mrs. Sohns and Mrs. Charnon.  
Our son has been there for 2 years and started out very shy and scared and now he loves school and 
all of his friends there.  The teachers are so excited about their job and it make the kids so happy 
to be at school.  
                                        Joe and Wendy Halser    2/10/2011

When my son comes home singing and happy I know he’s treated good.  In six months my 4 year old 
learned so much.  He learned his colors, numbers, shapes, months of the year and many more!  
I have no doubt soon he’ll be reading!  He’s learned discipline and right from wrong.  Most 
importantly he has learned to socialize in a good way with his peers.  This was nonexistent 
prior to APL.  Keep up the good work South Milwaukee Apple teachers.  I would recommend you 
to anyone who wants their child to have a head start before kindergarten.

I like that my daughter can interact and learn with a caring staff.  I chose APL because I knew 
how the program prepared by oldest daughter and I wanted to make sure my younger one was as 
prepared for elementary school.  
                                        Sarah Abdallah    2/7/11 

We love feeling secure in knowing there is a lot of learning taking place at APL.  Our daughter 
eagerly shares her new knowledge with the family and teaches her younger sister songs and letter 
sounds.  The teacher summary at the end of each session is greatly appreciated!                              
                                         Sara Delgado   1/10/11

My husband and I chose APL school because our 4 year old was asking to go to school.  We wanted an 
environment where she would learn but also have time to play.  APL’s learning while playing 
curriculum was perfect for her and us.  She comes home from every class having learned something new.  
She enjoys practicing her letters and numbers at home and typically does this by herself with no 
prompting from Mom or Dad.  Apple School is a fun learning environment with great teachers who love 
their jobs and who really want to see their students succeed.
                                         Nicole M. Cook  2/14/11 

Both of my kids have attended APL and it has been really important to my husband and I that we send 
our kids there.   The teachers truly care about each child and gear activities and skills to the kids 
ages.  I feel that the structure and routine at APL really helps the kids adjust to what a pre-K or 
K5 classroom looks like.
                                         Nikki J. Ortloff  2/8/11


We have had three of our children attend APL School over the past 5 years.  Mrs. Sohns and Mrs. 
Charnon are wonderful, caring teachers!   Our kids learned so much during their time at APL school.  
Not only learning a great deal academically but a great deal socially too.

We will always feel that we made a great decision when choosing APL School.  Our kids have loved their 
time at APL school and will always have wonderful memories of their first school!  We will miss you APL!

                                         Sincerely, 
                                            Lisa and Jason Lemke

Our daughter really enjoys going to APL school.  Attending APL school has helped to accelerate her learning 
and to improve her socialization and listening skills.

The teachers are very caring and do a great job.  We would recommend APL school to any parent with a 
preschooler.
                                          Rachel and Jim Guthrie   2/10/2011


The APL school staff are all well educated, experienced and excellent with the children.  As parents, we 
appreciate how personable the teachers are with us and how caring they are with our children.
     What really attracted us to the Academy of Preschool Learning was the following:
          1)	the 10 : 1  student / teacher ratio,
          2)	the sole focus on 3K and 4K,
          3)	the emphasis on Art, Math and Reading,
          4)	most importantly, the emphasis on structured learning;  APL school is not a day care.

We are very happy with our decision to send our children to the APL school.  We believe that our children 
are ahead of the curve for having attended the APL School.
                                           Michele Porubcan, Mom of three current APL School students    2/21/11

Apl is a very organized preschool.  They offer a comfortable environment for all children.  We had toured 
2 APL schools and couldn’t pass up the student to teacher ratio (10:2 ) at the Hales Corners location.  
Karen Schold and Linda Bryl cannot be thanked enough—our son came home counting in Spanish in only 6 weeks 
and was much more advanced with his vocabulary.  Recommend touring during classroom sessions to see first 
hand how well the children behave and work together.  Teachers update you after each class to discuss lesson 
plans and activities.  Our son loves to go to school!  Heard about APL through our neighbor—whose friends 
children attended years before.  Only wish we could have started our son earlier (now 4 yrs old) but he wasn’t 
completely potty trained. When our second son is ready, he too, will be joining APL schools!  Best decision 
we’ve made choosing APL and starting him three days a week!  I will recommend APL to other families!                  
                                          Corinn Vanden Huevel   2/23/11

 We are so happy that we chose APL school!  To have our son’s first experience with  school be so positive is 
incredible.  He comes home every day talking or singing about things he has learned and he’s excited about it. 
The teacher incorporate math and reading into subjects the kids can relate to, and they learn so much.  
I really cannot say enough about how happy we are with our experience with APL school. We will be sending 
our younger son there when he is ready and we would highly recommend APL school to anyone!!   Thank you for 
giving my son such an incredible educational experience! Oh, and Mrs. Bryl and Mrs. Schold are WONDERFUL!! 
                                     Thank You!
                                            Katrina Buretta    2/28/11

APL is a great school, dedicated teachers, caring and nurturing environment for the kids.  My son has learned 
so much in just a few days.  He always looks forward to going to school.  I just love it and would recommend 
to everyone.
