About AppleTree AppleTree’s mission is to close the achievement gap before students get to kindergarten. To accomplish this mission, we focus exclusively on Preschool and Pre-K education. As a public charter school network with 13 locations across Washington, DC, AppleTree provides free, full-day school programming for over 1000 three- and four-year olds focused on kindergarten readiness. Our innovative and award winning instructional model, Every Child Ready, provides educators with tools and resources for “What to Teach,” “How to Teach,” and “How to Measure Success.” In addition to implementing Every Child Ready at AppleTree-operated schools, we partner with state and local school districts, as well as high-quality early childhood organizations and networks to disseminate the instructional model to early childhood educators across the nation.
