Description: MMO Preschool Programs is unlike most childcare centers. We provide our students a rich, nurturing learning experience while accommodating the busy schedules of today’s families. MMO Preschool Program’s educational philosophy supports a highly-trained staff and a respectful environment that fosters all areas of child development within the community of the classroom and beyond. We understand the importance of each child’s learning style and growth. One critical way we support this is with low adult/child ratios in each program. Bright, spacious classrooms as well as both indoor and outdoor play areas provides a warm, inviting environment that stimulates both physical and mental creativity. Our play-based approach encourages discovery, inquiry and problem solving from our youngest students through PreK. The MMO Preschool Community is comprised of families who live and work in Montclair and the surrounding communities.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
