Our son has been attending Apple Montessori since July. He started with summer camp, later continued with the school year.Its always wonderful to see our son eager to go to preschool in the morning. Staff are great, take lot of effort to keep the kids engaged with various activities, setting a solid foundation for his academic life. We also noticed huge difference in social skills, vocabulary since he joined Apple. We highly recommend Apple for anyone looking for preschool in Metuchen area.

This an appreciation note for Ms. Shanti who taught both of our children who have now graduated from Apple Montessori.Both my children have attended Apple from 3 years of age and the consistency and richness of their experience are largely attributed to Ms. shanti.She took both children under her wings, showed them love, gave them enough room to explore while still holding the line, inspired full trust, made them super comfortable and have overtime garnered their total respect and admiration.Teachers have the hardest and most crucial jobs in the world. This is especially true for those involved with transitioning young kids from the comfort of their parents' arms, introducing them to friends, teaching them really new and frankly hard concepts that they will some day in the far future come to appreciate, putting parents at ease that kids are in safe hands, and taking interest in each and every kid in a way that makes them feel the most special. This is a really daunting and sacrosanct task. Ms. shanti not only checks all those boxes, she has been exceptional, and exemplifies both the intent and spirit of all attributes.We’re still amazed at how both our children without fail will go to great lengths to make Ms. Shanti proud. Ms. Shanti inspired great trust in their abilities, leveraged them as road models, and as a result disappointing her has never been an option, the true epitome of respect. We as a family are very happy, and will be forever grateful that Ms. Shanti has won our girls commitment to never disappoint, and is now an elder in our village.

Finding childcare for your child is a very difficult and individual experience. That being said in our experience, Apple in Metuchen provides some clear advantages and many other critical disadvantages. Pros: It is extremely clean and well run when it comes to health and sickness. The administration and teachers are interested in making sure the kids are learning. The cons; absolutely no diversity, extremely strict and our experience with the teacher (other teachers might be different) was that she was extremely strict, inflexible and bordering on scary to the kids. Our child always complained that it was extremely boring (games like who can be silent the longest). While, profit is important in any business here their model was almost predatory in their desire to make money. Overall, our child is thriving in another school that is almost a third less expensive, loves to learn and enjoys his time there. At 5 he loves to read and wants to do "fun" sheets (homework) whereas when he was at Apple he dreaded doing his work cause he was made to feel like he was not good enough. We wanted a place where education and learning is stressed but where kids are also having fun and playing with toys--that was def not our experience with apple.

It is a very great school. My daughter started when she was 2.5 yrs old and now she is in Kindergarten. The staff is great, very helpful and knowledgeable. We picked this school because it has great curriculum. Teacher did spend extra time with my daughter when she was falling behind in her class. They are great at giving feedback about her on daily basis. We highly recommended this school.

The advantages are that it is close to train, has adequate parking, germ-free (or almost so), ambitious teachers, friendly staff. My son almost never got sick at this place and when he did, they made sure he was well before returning. Disadvantages: Expensive lunches ($7) that do not provide enough food for my son (we sometimes needed to buy two lunches). This program is more profit oriented than I expected (we needed to really work to get money back that was rightfully ours). The kids do not get enough exercise and the late afternoon activities were boring for my pre-K son (he needed to go to the playground everyday after school to blow off steam). There is no diversity and this program is overpriced compared to other programs with similar quality (e.g., KinderKastle).

My daughter attends Apple Montessori Metuchen. It's a very clean facility and all of the teachers are very attentive and the way they teach basic science is really liked by my daughter and she explore them at home . The teachers are expertise in teaching. More than that they mold the children with good behaviour and manners which is the best part I like.

Both of our kids attend Apple Montessori school and it has been the best decision we have made for them thus far! Apple not only provides a nurturing environment for our kids, but it also challenges them academically based on their individual capacity to learn and grow. The Montessori method has instilled discipline, consistency and structure in their lives while providing a creative outlet in areas of arts, language and music. All the teachers at Apple are engaged and supportive towards letting kids learn at their own pace while ensuring they continually grow socially and academically. Thank you, to the teachers and staff at Apple Montessori, for everything you do!
