Celebrating Over 50 Years of Apple Montessori Schools

Apple Montessori Schools, a cornerstone of early childhood education, has proudly served families since 1972. With a mission grounded in the Montessori principles, this organization emphasizes the development of the whole child—intellectually, socially, emo...tionally, physically, and ethically.

A Legacy of Trust and Growth

Starting with a single school in Kinnelon, New Jersey, Apple Montessori has expanded to an impressive network of 20 locations and continues its mission to open additional schools throughout the Northeast. This growth reflects a long-standing commitment to providing a nurturing and innovative educational environment.

Andrea Vargas, the current CEO, shares, "Since joining the Apple Montessori Schools family, I knew immediately this was not just another school, but a legacy, a community, and a family. Our growth is a testament to the trust generations of families have placed in us."

Apple Montessori Schools distinguishes itself by not only focusing on academics but also on preparing children for life. The curriculum incorporates essential programs like STEAM, mindfulness practices through yoga, and foreign languages to ensure children are well-prepared for their educational journey that lies ahead.
