Apple Montessori Schools runs a network of early childhood centers in New Jersey based on Montessori principles, using mixed-age classrooms and hands-on, self-directed learning. The curriculum combines traditional Montessori activities with modern elements like STEAM and yoga, delivered across multiple locations with teacher-guided progress. It differentiates itself through a family-founded heritage since 1972 and a 2018 private-equity-backed expansion that preserves a family-focused culture while growing the footprint. The mission is to provide accessible, quality Montessori-based education and expand the network to bring this approach to more families in the Northeast while sustaining the family legacy.
