😎We offer creative play, hands-on discovery, and themed weeks all rooted in the Montessori philosophy.

😎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.

Summer is often associated with sunshine, water play, field trips, and carefree fun — and at Apple's popular summer camp, children certainly get all of those experiences. But summer camp can also serve another important purpose: helping children build the confidence, independence, and social-emotional skills that set them up for a successful school year.

For many children, especially younger learners or those entering a new classroom in the fall, summer camp can act as a gentle bridge between school years. It keeps routines familiar, encourages continued growth, and helps children ease into new environments with confidence.

Summer Camp: A Stepping Stone to the School Year? | Apple Montessori Schools Summer camp can be a helpful bridge into the school year for children.

When families think about summer camp, they often picture a way to keep children busy until school starts again. At Apple, summer camp is so much more than that!

Our summer program is intentionally designed to blend excitement, exploration, and enrichment — giving children all the joy and freedom of summer while continuing to nurture confidence, independence, and growth. It’s a camp experience that feels like summer should: full of adventure, discovery, friendships, and memories that last long after the program concludes. From daily swim lessons and field trips to technology, cooking, art, and sports, every day is carefully balanced to give campers a summer they’ll never forget.

Every year on April 15, schools and communities around the world celebrate World Art Day—a day dedicated to creativity, expression, and the powerful role art plays in our lives. At Apple Montessori, art is more than just a special activity: it's an essential part of how children learn, grow, and discover who they are.

Happy World Art Day! | Apple Montessori Schools At Apple Montessori, we believe creativity is a cornerstone of whole-child development. Through hands-on learning and child-led exploration, students build not only artistic skills, but independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

At Apple Montessori Schools, we believe that a strong foundation in math begins with curiosity, confidence, and hands-on discovery. That’s why we’re excited to invite families to one of our upcoming Math Day Parent Seminars—a special opportunity to experience how children truly learn to love math.

During these engaging seminars, parents will get an inside look at how Montessori math concepts are introduced, practiced, and mastered over time. Rather than using worksheets or relying on memorization, Montessori math is rooted in the use of hands-on materials that help children see, touch, and understand abstract concepts in a meaningful way.
