About the Provider

Description: The Montessori Learning Center is true to the Montessori method, with an incredible loving team of certified teachers that work one on one with your child.

Programs are based on a child-centered, hands-on approach to learning that encourages self-development and full expression of your child's potential beginning at an early age. The focus is on creating educational experiences that are interesting, challenging and fun for each child, while striking the optimum balance between free expression and structured limits. Activities include a blend of independent work and group collaboration that helps students develop the physical, cognitive, emotional and social skills to thrive.

Founded in 1975, they are the longest established Montessori school in Ridgewood with an esteemed reputation. The Montessori Learning Center is directed by Maeve Manning, who holds a Masters Degree as a Reading Specialist.
