Nurture theirnatural curiosity
Montessori preschool and kindergarten for ages three to six, since 1992.
A different kind of first classroom
The Montessori approach centers on nurturing each child's natural curiosity and potential through self-directed, hands-on learning experiences. In a carefully prepared environment, children are encouraged to choose activities that interest them, fostering independence, intrinsic motivation, and a lifelong love of learning. In 1992, Edwina and Fred Van Duyne started The Apple Tree Montessori with a small group of young children who loved to learn. In the summer of 2013, The Apple Tree Montessori moved to its new location on 6610 School Lane in Solebury, Pennsylvania and was renamed Solebury Montessori School.

What a morning here looks like
Children arrive to calm, prepared classrooms and choose real work from open shelves — pouring, sorting, letters, numbers, art. A guide observes each child and steps in exactly when a skill is ready to grow. The long, unhurried work period is the heart of the method: concentration is built, not demanded.
