Safety, Security & Wellness
Your child is precious and keeping him or her safe is our top priority. We work diligently to enforce and review the security procedures outlined by the New Jersey School Safety and Security Best Practices Guidelines, taking every step necessary to protect the safety and well-being of every child in our care.

Our partnership with Secure Education Consultants
We believe the same level of safety and security expertise that protects the President should be called upon to keep your child safe. That is why we partnered with SEC, a company owned and operated by former US Secret Service Agents, to help us take our safety and security to the highest level possible. The SEC team specializes in analyzing facilities, developing Emergency Preparedness Plans, and preparing faculty and staff to appropriately confront emergencies of all kinds. Certification applies to our Hoboken schools. Additional certifications are in progress. Learn more: Apple Montessori SEC Partnership
