Our Mission

To enrich and inspire children to reach their fullest potential as kind, independent, confident and curious individuals, for a lifetime of happiness and success.

Our History

Founded by Rex and Jane Bailey in 1972, Apple Montessori Schools has been proudly serving and refining the early education experience throughout New Jersey. We have been recognized and affirmed through accreditation by the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS). Our educators have proudly set the foundation for a lifetime of happiness and success for thousands upon thousands of children helping them thrive in the classroom and beyond.

“Our children have both had a great time at Apple I would recommend this school to anyone who is interested in a really academic preschool. They also are so loving and nurturing they are the complete package.”
