Natalie R.
“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."

Casey C.
"We moved to this area two years ago and were nervous about putting our one year old in daycare/school. We were lucky to find Apple Montessori Wayne! And even luckier to have Mrs. C as our daughter’s first teacher. She was encouraging, kind, and always willing to scoop my daughter up and give her a hug. The whole school is filled with great teachers and kids alike!"

Amy C.
"Wonderful school, curriculum and staff. Children are taught to problem solve, show respect and grace, and learn by experience. Mrs. S. has been my son’s teacher for over three years now (preschool, prek 3 and prek 4) and his growth has been tremendous. She truly feels like family and has not only taught my son so much over the years, but also helped him grow socially and emotionally. Cannot imagine his informative years being with anyone else."

Monique H.
"My daughter has been at Apple for the past three years and it is truly her home away from home. She has grown so much both academically and socially and we have found lifelong friends there! We are forever thankful to her teacher Mrs. S. She pours into each and every one of her students every single day and has been for over 40 years!"

Wes G.
"We are incredibly grateful for the experience our son has had at Apple Montessori in Wayne. As parents of a 6-year-old in 1st grade, we couldn’t have asked for a more nurturing, engaging, and inspiring environment. From the moment we stepped into the school, we felt welcomed and supported. We've seen tremendous growth in our son this year — not only in reading, writing, and math, but also in his independence and love for learning... The communication between the teacher and parents is fantastic, and we always feel informed and involved.... We wholeheartedly recommend Apple Montessori in Wayne to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching educational community..."

"Ms. B has made such an incredible impact on our daughter. She became her safe space in an unfamiliar place when we first started her in preschool last September. She has blossomed before our eyes and is so much more comfortable being herself at school. Thanks to all the staff at Montessori for making this difficult transition so smooth and fun for our girl!"
