Applebee Montessori Academy is a brand-new Montessori in McKinney. We opened in November of 2019 and have been serving the families of McKinney faithfully ever since. We offer several authentic Montessori programs, serving ages 6 weeks-6 years in a calm and stimulating atmosphere. Our school is conveniently located on N Stonebridge Drive, making it a perfect location for many families in the surrounding area.
“Do not tell them how to do it. Show them how to do it and do not say a word. If you tell them they will watch your lips move. If you show them, they will want to do it themselves”- Maria Montessori
We look forward to welcoming you to the Applebee family and showing you how we provide a superior early childhood educational experience in a safe and inspiring learning environment.
A Montessori education can help your child in so many real ways. At Applebee we work on fostering a child’s independence as well as their intrinsic motivation. We also encourage our students to work collaboratively with their classmates which leads to a sense of family and community in the classroom.

(6 Weeks – 12 Months)
Our infant program is designed for babies, ages 6 weeks-12 months, to thrive in a calm setting with loving and attentive teachers. In Our Montessori environment, the infant program focuses on building a robust foundation towards their different aspects of growth.
(12 Months - 18 Months)
Our Pre-Toddler room is a busy place to be, as our children in this room are further building upon the skills they began to develop in the Infant program. Our nurturing environment encourages children to develop self-help skills by moving and exploring in new and different ways.
(18 Months - 30 Months)
Toddler years are one of the most important years in child’s development. During this stage, the child is actively seeking out information and developing their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills. Our Toddler program provides not only nurturing environment but also age appropriate opportunities for the toddlers to develop their skills to their fullest potential.
(30 Months - 36 Months)
Our transition program is developed specifically for children, ages 30-36 months, to provide them a smooth transition into the more advanced Primary Program. At Applebee Montessori, our program is flexible and fosters the needs of each individual child.
(3 Years – 6 Years)
Our Applebee Primary curriculum teaches children, ages 3-6 years, in the areas of practical life, mathematics, language, sensorial, science and geography topics. Our goal is to help each child develop a positive self-image within this carefully planned environment. In this environment, our guides have established a clear routine for each child to meet their individual goals and needs.
At Applebee, we believe learning and playing go together as it is essential for the child’s growth. We have 3 large playgrounds for Infant, Toddler and Primary sections. The playground is designed by covering it under the canopy with rubber mulch to protect the children from the injuries all are in-compliance with the state licensing requirements.
