The first day of school is a meaningful milestone—not only for your child, but for your entire family.

You may feel excited about everything your child is about to experience while also wondering: Will they feel comfortable? Will they eat their lunch? Will they make friends? What if they have a difficult drop-off?

Those mixed emotions are completely normal. Beginning school is a big step toward independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. And while every child adjusts differently, there are ways you can make the transition a little easier for both of you.

The first day of school is a big milestone — and sometimes, it can be just as emotional for parents as it is for children!

Whether your child is walking into a classroom for the very first time, returning after summer break, or moving into a new program, the beginning of a school year brings plenty of change. New teachers, new routines, new friends, and new experiences can take some getting used to.

But starting school is also an exciting step toward greater independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Check out five ways families can help children feel comfortable and confident as they head back to school:

Ease the back-to-school jitters with these five tips from Apple Montessori Schools.

For young children, some of the best learning begins with a simple question: What will happen if I try this? 🤔 That natural curiosity is something we encourage every day at Apple Montessori Schools. Children learn by touching, exploring, experimenting, observing, and discovering — building an understanding of the world around them through hands-on experiences.

And that kind of learning doesn't have to stop when your child leaves the classroom.

With just a few items you probably already have at home, you can create a simple science experiment that feels like play while encouraging concentration, independence, fine motor development, and scientific thinking: https://applemontessorischools.com/blog/simple-science-big-learning-try-this-montessori-inspired-experiment-at-home 🧪🌋

And just like that...

It's time for New Parent Orientations!

We're certainly not in the business of rushing the summer along, but we're also busy preparing for the upcoming 2026-27 school year and hope you're feeling as excited as we are!

For enrolled families, please check your inbox for details! For interested families who have already completed a tour, feel free to join us for New Parent Orientation. These events are set up as an opportunity to review all the important details necessary prior to the first day, from school calendars and policies to forms and supply lists and everything in between. We hope hearing this info & getting to interact with current families may provide some clarity as you make this important decision for your family. We know it's a big one, and we want to make sure you have all the details you need.

Reminder: children do not attend this event, but are invited for upcoming Meet & Greet events set for all schools on Tuesday, Sept. 8.

Orientation dates & times vary by location. Details here: https://applemontessorischools.com/2026-schoolyear-new-parent-orientation-events 🍎

Curiosity is at the heart of every Montessori classroom. 🤔 Children are encouraged to ask questions, explore new ideas, solve problems, and discover how the world works through hands-on experiences. At Apple Montessori Schools, we're always looking for meaningful ways to build on that foundation—which is why we're excited to continue offering TinkRworks, our optional STEAM enrichment program for children ages 4 and up.

TinkRworks blends science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) into engaging, project-based experiences that encourage children to build, experiment, invent, and create. More than just a STEAM program, it's an opportunity for children to strengthen their critical thinking, creativity, and confidence while having fun bringing their ideas to life.

Learn more about the 2026-27 projects, registration deadlines, and more now on the blog:

Every great chef starts somewhere—and for many children, that journey begins with a simple recipe, a taste of a new fruit, or the excitement of helping prepare a snack.

This Culinarians Day, we're celebrating the joy of cooking and food exploration at Apple Montessori Schools. From our Young Chefs experiences during Summer Camp to the food prep & food tasting activities that take place in our classrooms throughout the school year, children are developing far more than kitchen skills. They're building confidence, independence, curiosity, and a willingness to try something new.

Today officially marks ONE MONTH until the start of Summer Camp 2026! Just one month from today, our Apple campers will be busy in our schools learning, exploring, making new friends, and building new skills all while enjoying their summers in a safe, supportive environment.

If you're still considering your child's summer plans, let us share 5 things you may not already know about our camp program:

😎We offer creative play, hands-on discovery, and themed weeks all rooted in the Montessori philosophy.
😎There's a water offering at all locations. While some locations include pools and swim lessons, others offer an off-site swimming option and/or sprinklers and water play, so every child in our camps can spend plenty of time staying cool while enjoying outdoor time.
😎Children ages 4+ can take part in field trips to places like nature centers, museums, and aquariums.
😎Our trained teachers take part in summer camp to ensure that what makes Apple special during the school year carries over into the summer months.
😎We know your schedule is busy and often unpredictable, so we're flexible. You can sign your child up for eight weeks of camp, or explore a more customized plan that works best for your family. Just ask the director for details.

Apple Montessori Summer Camp is the perfect place for your child to spend their summer vacation! Don't miss out, as weeks are filling up fast across our locations! If you haven't already, be sure to self-schedule a camp tour at a time that works for you.

There is something magical about watching a tiny seed transform into a thriving plant. 🌿 For children, gardening is more than just an outdoor activity—it is an opportunity to explore, discover, and connect with the natural world in a meaningful way.

As we celebrate National Gardening Week, we're recognizing the many ways gardening supports learning, growth, and development in the Montessori environment. Whether children are planting flowers, tending a vegetable garden, watering seedlings, or observing insects at work, every moment spent in the garden offers valuable lessons that extend far beyond the soil.
