Family Founded and guided by the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, Apple Montessori Schools has helped guide children into becoming kinder, more successful, and happier individuals since 1972.
This location offers infant to kindergarten programs, plus our beloved summer camp.
Through self-discovery and hands-on learning, our approach allows children to be more engaged, and take ownership in their learning to develop a genuine love of learning.
Our well-rounded modern Montessori environment allows children to learn at their own pace, and features exciting enrichment programs like music, art, character education, coding and robotics, yoga, and more.

What is it like in an Apple Montessori classroom?
Child-Centric Classroom Design:The furniture and
materials are all conveniently child sized. This allows children to
take charge of their own learning by following their passions and
working at their own pace.
Unique Classroom Management:No matter the classroom size,
children thrive under the gentle guidance of our teachers. They are
specially trained to facilitate learning and encourage students to
pursue activities independently, complete tasks and solve
problems.
Purposeful Activities:Children participate in daily
living tasks that help teach life-long lessons of personal
responsibility. They use real materials to care for and take
responsibility for their environment through activities such as
washing dishes, putting away materials, and chopping fruit to offer
to their classmates.
Collaborative Community:Within our mixed-age classrooms,
we encourage relationship-building, trust, and peer to peer
learning experiences. Younger children learn from older ones who
act as role models, and older students gain self-confidence by
helping to inspire and guide younger students.
