Every child carries within them the person they will become.
At Apple Montessori School, we believe that the school community is responsible for discovering and nurturing the unique individual potential of each child.
Our curriculum provides a sound academic background while stimulating and challenging each child to meet his or her own particular needs and learning pace.
Our classrooms are rich with Montessori materials and supporting activities to promote intellectual as well as social growth.
We instill through example and action a love of learning, a strong work ethic, creativity, respect and compassion for others.
The philosophy upon which Apple Montessori School is based embraces the most fundamental teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori.
Our method is designed to build upon the individual skills and knowledge acquired in the pre-school and kindergarten years.
By offering multi-aged classrooms rich with Montessori materials, your child will be actively engaged in their own learning process.
He or she can move through new challenging materials quickly, or on to another experience without the boredom of waiting for others to catch up.
He or she can repeat these same activities until mastery is achieved.
This can be done without frustration of being pushed ahead before one is ready.
His or her own feelings of accomplishment act as a reinforcement to succeed.
We offer half day and full day programs for our Toddlers (18 mo. to 2 1/2 years) and Prechoolers (2 1/2 years to Kinder). Morning sessions is from 8:30-11:30 and afternoon session is from 12:30-3:30. Kindergarten is a mandatory full day program.

School Notes
Inspiring a love of learning for thousands of NJ children for
45 years: Apple Montessori Schools offers child-inspired infant,
toddler, preschool and kindergarten programs for children ages six
months through six years.
We offer 15 convenient locations in north and central New
Jersey with two schools in Hoboken. Our Wayne Nevins school
includes an elementary program.
Apple Montessori was recently named Most Loved Preschool in the
Hoboken/Jersey City area.
Our difference: We are devoted to nurturing the whole child
intellectually, socially, emotionally, and beyond. It is the core
of all we do. Scientific research confirms that Montessori children
have an advantage not only academically, but also in social and
emotional development. Children learn more rapidly from birth to
age 6 than any other time in their lives, and our approach makes
the most of that critical learning time with proven curriculum and
enrichment programs. By recognizing that no two children are the
same, our approach cultivates the unique potential of each and
every child in a caring, safe, and supportive school
environment.
Safety-certified schools: Your child`s health and safety are
paramount. Our schools and staff have been certified by Secure
Education Consultants, headed by former secret service agents for
the White House. We work diligently to enforce the procedures
outlined by the State of New Jersey`s School Safety and Security
best practice guidelines. Our protocols include ongoing staff
training, regular drills, state-of-the-art fingerprint technology,
advanced surveillance systems, and hospital grade germ sanitizing
machines to reduce 99.9% of germs and viruses.
Our team: Maria Montessori believed that teachers are most
successful when they embrace the idea that children are innately
curious and give them the freedom to explore their own passions at
their own pace. Our warm and wonderful staff takes great pride in
encouraging the big and small milestones that happen each day for
your child.The Montessori advantage:Children follow their own
passions at their own paceMulti-age classrooms to encourage
peer-to-peer teaching and learningHands-on, experiential based
learning that brings abstract principles to lifeExpert, nurturing

My son has been at Apple Montessori School since he was 1 1/2 years old and graduates kindergarten this year. AMS is an incredible school where children thrive. We WISH Apple Montessori had elementary grades in the area. Because of his experience at Apple, my son has chosen to commute approximately an hour from home to stay in a Montessori school for his elementary education. As a parent I HIGHLY recommend Apple Montessori!!! If you''re making a decision for your child, take a tour and pay special attention to the work posted outside each classroom... Remember... it's all the work of children from 2-6 years old!!!
