Apple Montessori Schools

Apple Montessori, a trusted leader in early childhood education since 1972, is proud to continue expanding its 50+ year legacy of shaping the minds and hearts of children across New Jersey, with plans to continue growing throughout the Northeast. As preschool and daycare options come and go and more public-school programs are introduced, Apple remains dedicated to educating, enriching, and inspiring young learners—helping them grow into kind, independent, and curious individuals who will contribute to the world in meaningful ways.

At Apple Montessori Schools, our mission extends beyond academic excellence. We are committed to nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—and empowering students to make a meaningful difference in the world. In December 2024, we proudly continued one of our most cherished traditions: our Annual Apple Olympics fundraiser to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities New York Metro. We are honored to share that, since 2011, the Apple family has raised $228,347 for RMHC. This remarkable achievement reflects the compassion, generosity, and unity of our school community. Ronald McDonald House Charities provides a vital service—offering housing and support for families while their child receives long-term medical care—allowing parents to focus solely on their child's well-being: https://lnkd.in/euxuQ_P9 #applegivesback #applemontessorischools Andrea Vargas, MBA, MS-Ed.

As most of us know, motherhood redefines guilt like few other experiences. Now on the blog, we hear from Sarah of Parenting Presently about the ever-present tug-of-war between family life and professional demands, and how we can make the most of the time we have with our families in these busy days: https://lnkd.in/e78Twahy #montessori #parenting #momguilt #modernmotherhood #parenthood Andrea Vargas, MBA, MS-Ed.

At Apple Montessori Schools, we pride ourselves in our Classroom Behind the Classroom. Our IACET-accredited training department, led by Head of Training and Development Chelsea Etse, is on site in our schools regularly, training our staff on everything from how to effectively use our newest materials to ensuring we are delivering consistent quality amongst our locations. Part of our Training Team’s purview includes hosting four Professional Development Days (PDDs) and two Apple Academy trainings during the school year. On Presidents Day back in February, while our schools were closed to students, our staff participated in our most recent Professional Development Day. During the training, Apple leaders had a chance to strengthen their leadership skills and share invaluable knowledge through several workshops. PDDs give us a chance to connect with other Apple school teams and are filled with team-building activities and non-stop learning; they fuel our passion for always doing the best for our students, their families, and our communities.
