My son did not have the greatest first year of preschool at a different school so I was a bit nervous before starting his new school year at Apple Montessori in Morris Plains. However, my worries went away immediately once we started the school year. I have always heard great things about this school and it makes sense why. From the start, we were given a very warm and welcoming introduction from the director. Ms. Rathjens, and assistant director Ms. Yun. Both are very involved with interacting with the kids and greeting them throughout the day. They are attentive and responsive, and my kids feel comfortable around them. My son's preschool teacher, Ms. Kellish, and the teacher assistants, Mrs. Morales and Mrs. Ikram, are caring, supportive, and organized. My son loves going to school and always shares how nice his teachers are to him. He has learned so much and has become more independent in class. They encourage him and it shows. My daughter's toddler room teacher, Mrs. Castano, and the teacher assistants, Ms. Ucles, Mrs. Millar, and Mrs. Charles, are all so patient, nurturing, and gentle. They have helped my daughter transition well to school and never hesitate to reach out in case of anything. I also love how they have food tasting every week. My daughter is constantly singing and dancing at home, and I know it's a result from her thriving at school. It feels relieving to know that my kids are in the best care and I don't have to watch the camera like a hawk to see how they are doing. Any time I check in, I see my kids are learning and playing, and are building their independence. The parent teacher communication and level of care are unmatched. The teachers really put forth effort into all that they do and I really appreciate it all. My only regret is not enrolling my son sooner for his first year of school. Do not hesitate to go for a tour and enroll

I enrolled my son at Apple Montessori during their summer camp in 2023 when he was 2.5 years old…read more It has been an year of love, care, learning and so much fun for him! He has built friendships, developed so many skills, learnt to dance, work together and care for younger kids. This has been the best decision we made for him! Ms. Rasdell and Mr Wagner puts so much care and thoughtfulness in building the curriculum, making sure each child is getting the attention they need while also developing and focusing on their strengths. The school conducts so many events to give an opportunity for parents to network, for kids to develop new skills, have outdoor time, learn to work together and lead. I love the observation sessions and parent teacher conferences as well that gives us visibility into their day to day learning patterns and opportunities for growth! Looking forward to his tenure at Apple Morris Plains and all he learns during this time!!

We started my daughter here at 9 months and pulled her out after 3 weeks. I just found this daycare…read moreto be described best as benign neglect. Now I am referring to the Infant room, so this is not a review based on their toddler care. -They have live video streaming which was one of the reasons we liked this daycare. Well unfortunately it showed us reason to take her out. On numerous occasions she was left in a bouncer or seat by the table for over an hour without any interaction with the providers. Even at times when she showed signs of exhaustion, they left her there, i'm not sure if it was in hopes she'd pass out that way?? I even provided them with her schedule prior to starting which they never even looked at it. Had they done so, they would have known it was nap time for her and put her in a crib. -When we asked that she get more play time on the rug, they would leave her there to play alone and the caretakers would go talk amongst themselves over by the kitchen area without turning to check on the kids. The play area is safe but there is no barrier between there and the dirty kitchen or doorway. I had to watch helpless as my daughter started to crawl out towards the kitchen and proceeded to pick up an unknown object from the floor and put it into her mouth. I called immediately and then they picked her up and put her into a swing. This was probably only a few minutes but that's all it takes for a baby to get themselves into trouble, choke on something, etc.. -If the caretaker she was assigned to was not in the room, no one else seemed to be responsible for her. Another reason why she would be left in a bouncer for a long period of time. Her caretaker was there from 8-4pm, so by the time we picked her up around 5/5:30pm, the two staff members left would be absolutely clueless to the schedule of her day so at times she'd miss her 5pm dinner meal or be napping much later than she should've been. -A strange thing happened - they didn't inform us that she threw up one day. Instead we found out when we came home and found a plastic bag which contained her soiled pants with food/puke stains all over. I would normally have thought it was just spilled food or poop that seeped out, but there was no mention of poop in her daily log and she threw up several more times that evening and ended up with an ear infection shortly after. -They provide you with a folder with their "curriculum" as well as paperwork for you to provide to the caretaker once they start so they can get to know your child better. Don't bother filling it out as they didn't even look it over. It was filed away and when we brought her to the infant room, they asked me what her schedule was and wrote it on a piece of paper. This wasn't just on the first day, they did this everyday when we brought her in! And their curriculum is a load of BS. They do not do story time and they barely play with the kids (maybe 1 hour tops for the day). Overall it was a horrible experience for us.

Specifically as for the infant room, Pink Elephants, quite simply, Martha is amazing. As a working mother of a baby born with a broken heart it was, I believe, harder for me to leave my baby in day care than it is for other mothers. Eddie was 6 weeks old and his incision from his open heart surgery was 4 weeks old. He wasn't tiny but he was still healing. From the time I brought him in for a "test" visit the week before we started full time I knew she was going to be wonderful, and love and care for my baby. That is what happened, Martha fell in love with Eddie, as his primary at Rainbow she not only put up with my over protectiveness she helped us both through that first year. She experienced so many firsts with our family; moving from formula to baby food, baby food to solid food, sitting up for the first time, first real play, and the list goes on. Even though is Eddie is now 4 he still loves his Martha and so do we, she will always be a part of our family and memories of Eddie's first year. We have had great experiences will staff in general, everyone knows my son and calls him by name. There are 2 staff members that moved on to go back to school and we still keep in touch. Earlier this year my son had some behavior issues, pushing his boundaries and the teaching and administrative staff were great, we worked to together to get him to where he should be. He is back on the straight and narrow, listening to his teachers. :)

We transferred my oldest from another school because the other school did not mesh well with her personality. The moment we moved her to AMS, almost instantly, my daughter fell in love with the environment and the warm staff so much that the struggle of getting her to go to school was no longer an issue. We find the activities and curriculum to be engaging, logical and incrementally challenging. The math bead system that they have introduced to my daughter is a gold standard for education. I know my daughters will be very well prepared for later years in school. I think, overall, the best aspect of AMS is the fact that Ms. Ferentinos knows exactly where both my daughters stand in their learning journey. She has a great plan in mind for both my daughters and I'm confident she will continue to challenge them. The assistants are equally as amazing. Its the little things they do that makes the experience even better. Ms. Buckley braiding my daughters hair makes my daughters feel so special. And its an absolute comfort to drop them off every morning because of Mrs. Dermos' and Ms. Rolos' warm bubbly personalities. During these difficult pandemic times, we've seen the school really step up their game and implement world class safety precautions. This really makes us feel comfortable with sending our girls to school. Even before the pandemic, they had all ready upgraded the schools with the large UV sanitation cabinet equipment. We're very pleased with the level of education provided by AMS and we're so lucky to have found this school!
