APPLES & BOOKS, BUGS &  STICKS is a child care center that provides Early Childhood Education and nurturing to infants and children of families who live or work in Branchburg, North Branch, South Branch, Neshanic, Hillsborough, Raritan, and other nearby communities.

Our specific goal is to serve the community by offering a quality service with flexible programs designed to nurture the growing child in an environment that is safe, caring and stimulating. These programs provide children with social, emotional and cognitive experiences in group settings.

We believe that each child is unique and has an individual pattern and timing for growth, as well as individual personality, learning style and family background. We are very supportive of the family unit.

Children’s sense of self worth derives in large part from their experiences within the family. We would like to be an extension of you to your child. We welcome parents to be a part of this educational process by providing us with information on your backgrounds, experiences, socialization, etc.
