Apple Montessori was founded by Rex and Jane Bailey in 1971. Our rich history is the result of the initial vision and determination of Jane Bailey, a Montessori teacher who emigrated from Scotland. Unimpressed by the traditional approach to learning and inspired by her own young children, she opened one of the first Montessori schools in northern New Jersey.
Rex Bailey, also at the forefront of education as a two term public School Board President, understood the importance of that critical time for learning in early childhood. Together they paved the road for what we are today.
With the proven success of many of our students across our 14 schools, we are setting new standards in early childhood and elementary education.
All four Bailey daughters have followed in their parents’ footsteps. After successful college careers, Pamela Howarth, Lynn Morris Piccolo, Joanne Mooney and Vanessa Krippner have perpetuated the mission. Also joining their ranks are two sons-in law, Robert Howarth and Ronald Krippner.
Thirteen Bailey grandchildren have benefited from this extraordinary education. After graduating our elementary school, the eldest grandchildren and their peers have moved on to exceptional universities.
We remain as passionate about our mission and commitment to your children today. The possibilities are infinite as we continue to lay the foundation for a lifetime of school success.
