WARRINGTON, PA — Apple Montessori Schools will open its first Pennsylvania campus in Warrington this September, marking the company’s expansion beyond New Jersey as demand for early childhood education continues to grow in the Philadelphia suburbs.
The new school, located in the Valley Square development, will serve children from 6 weeks through 6 years old beginning with the 2026-27 academic year, the company stated. The opening represents the first out-of-state location for Apple Montessori, which has operated in New Jersey since 1972.
The expansion extends the company’s footprint into Bucks County, where it will compete in the region’s growing early childhood education market with a Montessori-based curriculum supplemented by academic instruction.
The Warrington campus includes classrooms designed to maximize natural light, outdoor learning areas and a saltwater pool, according to the company.
Apple Montessori indicated its curriculum combines traditional Montessori instruction with phonics-based literacy, along with music, art, foreign language, yoga, sign language, character development and classroom technology. Students are taught by Montessori-trained educators and progress at an individualized pace.
“We’re thrilled to be expanding into Pennsylvania and welcoming local families into our Apple Montessori community,” President Ryan Mullin remarked. “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.”
The Warrington campus will be led by School Director Amanda Gearhart and Education Director Stacey Venuto.
Gearhart brings nearly 20 years of experience in education, including almost 15 years leading Montessori classrooms before moving into school leadership. Venuto has nearly 25 years of experience as a Montessori director and spent the past 15 years teaching near the Warrington campus.
The company stated the new location is intended to provide early childhood education for families in Bucks County while establishing Apple Montessori’s presence outside its home state.
