Safety and Security at Apple Montessori Schools

Nothing is more important to Apple Montessori Schools than the safety, security and wellness of children. Apple understands that your child is your top priority and that is why they work hard to enforce and review the security procedures outlined by the New Jersey School Safety and Security Best Practices Guidelines.

Apple Montessori will take every step necessary to protect the safety of every child in their care. Their partnership with Secure Education Consultants (SEC) only furthers this mission.

As a company owned and operated by former United States Secret Service Agents, SEC provides Apple Montessori children with same level of safety as the President. Apple’s partnership with SEC ensures the highest level of security for all of its students. Some of the SEC’s specializations include analyzing facilities, developing emergency preparedness plans, and preparing faculty and staff to appropriately confront emergencies of all kinds.
