"We are incredibly grateful for the Montessori Preschool and the amazing teachers. If you’re looking for true Montessori combined with genuine love for your child, this is the place. Our son attended from 8 weeks until he was 5 years old. Throughout, he had the same teachers (this speaks volumes of the school). From the very first day, the nurturing environment and individualized attention our child received help shape him into the strong kindergartner he is today. The teachers are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but their genuine love and passion for teaching shine through in everything they do. They foster an atmosphere of curiosity, independence, and kindness, while instilling a deep love for learning. It's clear that the teachers truly care about each child's growth—emotionally, socially, and academically. The Monetessori Preschool is a true gem in a world of overstimulating “daycare” options."

"I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the wonderful care my daughter received during her time at your daycare, especially under the guidance of Ms. Ella. For the past year and a half, we have witnessed remarkable growth in our daughter, and we truly believe this is thanks to the nurturing and supportive environment you all provided. Ms. Ella has been an incredible caregiver, going above and beyond to ensure our daughter felt safe, loved, and encouraged every day. Her patience, kindness, and dedication are truly inspiring, and it has meant the world to us to know that our daughter was in such capable hands. From the creative activities to the gentle guidance, Ms. Ella made learning fun and helped our daughter grow in confidence, social skills, and curiosity. We feel so fortunate to have found a daycare that not only focuses on education and development but also fosters a genuine sense of community and care. Our daughter always looked forward to her time at daycare, and we will forever be thankful for the positive impact this experience has had on her."

"We've been sending our child to Apple Montessori schools since our child was 7 months old and we believe that the choice of school was what really helped with her development and she has been making amazing achievements! When she was an infant, we sent her to the Hoboken location and due to difficulties with the commute, we switched her to the Cliffside Park location when she was old enough to continue her education at Apple schools. The best part about Apple Montessori Schools is that they are not franchises and all of the schools operate on the same curriculum, including the teacher trainings. I truly appreciate the trainings that all the teachers receive on Montessori method and their attention to detail to each child's developments throughout the year. When you speak to the teachers, it is as if the teacher was only watching my child all day! They are so attentive and caring to each child and my child LOVED being there! The toddler room in Ms. Villega's class is superb! Ms. V and Ms. Picasso are a phenomenal team for the toddler children. Thanks to them, my child is fluent in both English and Spanish (and of course also our native language that we speak at home). The preschool is organized in a true Montessori way, whereby children of different age groups can teach and learn from each other. The younger children watch the older children and learn from their behaviors; and because the older children know that the younger ones are watching, they seem to have a sense of responsibility to behave well and be good role models. Ms. Rodriguez was a fabulous teacher. Since my child was 14 months, the child was starting to learn to read through the unique reading program at the school. And now, my child is not even 3 yet but the child is able to read some simple words. Additionally, she is doing simple arithmetic; for example, she understands how many articles are needed to accommodate her friends and herself in a social setting. My child is also able to hold intelligent conversations with adults and understand her surroundings. The child is able to do most daily tasks alone, including dressing, brushing teeth, feeding herself, and using the potty. I can't recommend this school enough. The difference between the Cliffside Park and the Hoboken locations is that the CP one is smaller, with a closer community. All of the teachers know all of the children and they know every family. We are sad to have left this school and we are so grateful beyond words for what they have done for our child."

"This place is amazing. I wish I had been sent to a place like this when I was a kid. The great teachers (Miss Skye and Miss Jill) meet my kids where they are academically and guide them in growing from there. Kids have freedom of movement in the classroom and get to choose what they dive deeper on after their regular work is done. My children love to learn while still testing at grade level. Best of both worlds!"

"My child has never been so cared for. Mrs. Rosalyn and her staff at Children’s Preschool will treat you and your children like family. We were at Children’s for a little less than two years and in that time we never had any issues. Our child was so happy to see her teachers everyday and had so much fun."

"This is a small, in-home Montessori school run by a former CCSD special education teacher who received her Montessori training. My daughter has flourished under her guidance, and I have appreciated her friendship and our little school community. The teacher has managed my daughter's strengths and weaknesses with wisdom and patience. My child has attended the past two years and is now doing kindergarten-level math, writes at a kindergarten level, and is confidently reading novels. She's learning self-regulation, social-emotional skills, about her global community, and about the natural world around her. The classroom is beautiful and her backyard garden Is an incredible place to learn thanks to her and a fellow mom's efforts. I highly recommend this school to anyone who desires an intentional, child-focused learning environment for their child."
