Reasons Families Choose Apple
The Apple Difference
90% of your child's brain develops before age six. Apple's curriculum and environments are built for these critical years, shaping confident learners who carry that foundation for life.
Strong Montessori Curriculum
Apple's curriculum blends authentic Montessori with evidence-based phonics—a dual approach that helps many children read as early as age 4. By kindergarten, our students are reading full sentences and short books, writing their own stories, and entering grade school well ahead.
Stability in the Classroom
In most early childhood programs, teachers come and go. At Apple, they stay—our average tenure is over 8 years, and some teachers have been with us for more than two decades. That stability gives children the consistency, warmth, and trusted relationships they need to grow with confidence.
Outdoor Classrooms & Pools
Learning at Apple extends well beyond four walls. On-site pools at most schools build water confidence and early swim skills, while our signature Outdoor Classrooms and large natural spaces give children room to explore, move, and discover every day.

“We absolutely love Apple Montessori School! Our son’s teachers are incredibly attentive, always ensuring each child feels seen, supported, and encouraged. Their organization is exceptional; from daily routines to special events, everything runs smoothly and with care. Our older daughter also attended this school a few years ago and had a wonderful experience—she even learned to read before starting kindergarten! It’s clear the entire staff genuinely cares about the children and takes great pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment. We highly recommend Apple Montessori!”
"We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Apple Montessori Towaco. From day one, the warmth, professionalism, and dedication of the staff have been incredible. Our daughter absolutely loves going to school every day — she’s thriving both academically and emotionally, and we’ve seen her confidence soar. The teachers (Mrs. D, Mrs. K and Mr. M) are not only passionate about education, but they also genuinely care about each child as an individual. The curriculum is thoughtful and engaging, and the environment is nurturing, inclusive, and inspiring. As parents, it gives us so much peace of mind to know she’s in such excellent hands. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this amazing school community! <3 Thank you all!!!"
“My daughter recently attended Apple Montessori in Wayne, and if you live in the area, I highly recommend this school! She also participated in their summer camp, which was beautifully designed and thoughtfully organized. Both the school year and camp programs are exceptional. It's clear that the teachers prepare detailed lesson plans, and each day is filled with fun, engaging, and age-appropriate activities. The staff is loving, nurturing, and truly top-notch."
