About Us

Over three decades of excellence in early childhood education.

Our Story

The story of Apple Valley Pre-School begins with a vision to provide the young minds of Rajahmundry the finest possible start in life. Founded in 1991, we began our journey with a handful of students and a dedication to nurturing childhood.

Over three decades later, now known as Rajahmundry's Apple Valley Pre-School, we continue to honor that original vision. We believe in providing an environment that is rich, stimulating, and filled with learning opportunities.
