What parents say
This is long over due from my side. My 3 yo has been going to APPS since Sep 2025. The program is fantastic for kids. For those who do not align with the play , observational learning this might be a shocker initially, however you will slowly begin to understand the strengths of this program.

Sheetal Vaidhyanathan · 5/5 on Google · 7 months agoI enrolled my son in the 2-day class at APPS half-way through the 2018-2019 school year after a disappointing experience with a more traditional drop-off Montessori style preschool, and I'm so glad I did.

Angela Owens · 5/5 on Google · 3 months agoMy daughter loves APPS. We started in 2 day year last school year and are now in 3 day with Ms. Ellen.
