Apple Montessori Schools To Open At The Shops At Valley Square

WARRINGTON, PA - New Jersey-based Apple Montessori Schools will open its first early childhood education center in Pennsylvania with the start of the 2026-27 school year in September.

The opening represents a major milestone for Apple Montessori Schools as it expands outside New Jersey, bringing to Bucks County an early childhood model that has served thousands of families since 1972 in New Jersey.

Located in the heart of Valley Square, the new campus features thoughtfully designed, natural light-drenched classrooms, dedicated outdoor learning spaces, and Apple Montessori's signature saltwater pool.

Serving children ages 6 weeks to 6 years, Apple Montessori Warrington will combine core Montessori principles with a strong academic curriculum that helps children develop independence, confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Led by experienced, Montessori-trained teachers, each child is given the freedom, guidance, and personalized encouragement to learn at their own pace while building key academic skills through a unique phonics-based literacy program, with many Apple Montessori students reading at age 4.

In addition, the curriculum also includes music, art, foreign language, yoga, sign language, character development, thoughtfully integrated classroom technology, outdoor classrooms, and more.

"We're thrilled to be expanding into Pennsylvania and welcoming local families into our Apple Montessori community," said Ryan Mullin, President at Apple Montessori Schools. "We know that choosing a school for children in the early years is one of the most important decisions for a child's future, and many parents are looking for high-quality care alongside strong academic support, and we're excited to be able to bring that experience to this new community."

Leading the charge at Warrington are two experienced Montessori educators: School Director Amanda Gearhart and Education Director Stacey Venuto.

Gearhart brings nearly 20 years of experience in education, including almost 15 years leading a Montessori classroom before becoming the school director. Her deep expertise in Montessori education and commitment to fostering supportive learning environments will help establish a strong foundation for the Warrington community.

Venuto has nearly 25 years of experience as a Montessori Director and is passionate about fostering a love of learning and supporting each child's unique developmental journey. She spent the past 15 years teaching just miles from the Warrington school and is a proud member of the Warrington community herself.
