Apple Dumpling Learning Center is a locally owned and state-licensed childcare center in Front Royal, Virginia, proudly serving families since 2006. For nearly two decades, we’ve created a warm and loving space where children from 1 month to 12 years old grow through hands-on exploration, guided learning, and joyful play. Our passionate educators are dedicated to helping each child feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn.
We’re here to provide more than childcare — we offer a second home filled with love, patience, and purpose. Every child in our care is treated with compassion and respect. Our approach blends structured learning with creativity and a sense of community, laying the groundwork for lifelong learning, confidence, and kindness.
A healthy child is a thriving child. We prioritize wellness by providing clean, nurturing spaces and encouraging healthy routines. From a balanced routine to daily play and rest, your child’s well-being is always our focus.
Safety is a cornerstone of everything we do at Apple Dumpling. Our center features secure access, strict visitor protocols, and a highly trained team certified in First Aid and CPR. Our staff participates in ongoing safety and child development training to ensure your child is in caring, capable hands — always.
At Apple Dumpling Learning Center, our mission is to guide each child with love, respect, and thoughtful care. We’re committed to building strong moral and emotional foundations during the most important years of growth. Every moment in our center is an opportunity to teach kindness, curiosity, and confidence.
