Metuchen Preschool & Daycare

Metuchen Montessori Preschool & Daycare

At Apple Montessori Schools Metuchen, we offer preschool, kindergarten, and summer camp programs. Through our Montessori approach, nurturing educators, and multi-sensory materials we promote academic achievement as well as social and emotional growth.

The Facts

Apple Montessori Schools Metuchen is steps away from the Metuchen train station, making drop off and pick ups quick and easy. This location contains beautifully designed classrooms where children benefit from a wide range of Montessori-inspired curriculum. The outdoor area boasts a playground with safety surfaces and support padding.

Both of our kids attend Apple Montessori school and it has been the best decision we have made for them thus far! Apple not only provides a nurturing environment for our kids, but it also challenges them academically based on their individual capacity to learn and grow. The Montessori method has instilled discipline, consistency and structure in their lives while providing a creative outlet in areas of arts, language and music. All the teachers at Apple are engaged and supportive towards letting kids learn at their own pace while ensuring they continually grow socially and academically. Thank you, to the teachers and staff at Apple Montessori, for everything you do!

"The real preparation for education is a study of oneself. It includes the training of character” – Dr Maria Montessori. I believe that learning should be a pleasure and not a pressure. The Montessori method of education encourages knowledge beyond the classroom, fostering independent thinking by nurturing one’s own innate potential thereby cultivating a lifelong passion for learning."

Our daughter has grown so much over the last 2 years she’s been at AMS thanks to her guidance and encouragement. Ms. A. is an amazing educator and such an important part of the school — we’re so grateful for everything she does! We’re also so thankful for Ms. P! She brings so much warmth and joy to the classroom... We really appreciate all the love and energy she brings to the class! Overall, we really appreciate all the teachers and staff at AMS. Everyone is kind, professional, and dedicated to creating a supportive environment for the kids. Our daughter enjoys going to school each day, and it’s clear the team works hard to make it a place for learning and growth with a dash of fun!”

"Our daughter has been studying at Apple Montessori Metuchen for 2 years. We really like the school. It's cozy, and even though it's small, all the staff, without exception, are excellent. The school is modern and clean. We are impressed with the work of our daughter's teacher, Mrs. A. Our 4 and a half-year-old daughter is already able to read and write words clearly and accurately, in addition to already doing math. She is motivated in different ways. Mrs. A. is attentive, smiling, serious when necessary, respects the students and families, is understanding and always available. She uses the Montessori methodology effectively and engagingly."

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Apple Montessori Metuchen! The schedule works perfectly for our family, and the entire team has been amazing. Ms. S. is truly exceptional — she’s warm, patient, and deeply dedicated to her students. She has a natural ability to make learning exciting and meaningful, and she always takes the time to understand each child’s individual personality and needs. My son absolutely adores her and looks forward to going to school every day. You can tell she genuinely cares about the kids’ emotional and academic growth, and her calm yet encouraging approach makes a world of difference. The assistant teachers, Ms. C. and Ms. D, are just so sweet and nurturing.... We’re so grateful for the love, patience, and structure the entire classroom provides — it’s such a wonderful environment for children to learn and thrive!"
