Description: About Us
Our staff includes two Montessori certified teachers and two excellent assistants along with skilled music, dance, and art teachers who are the reason that the Montessori of Jersey City continues to thrive. Our garden area is carefully tended by the staff and children who truly enjoy its rustic beauty and security.
Our students have the convenience of walking right out of the classroom onto their private outdoor garden classroom. Growing their own garden vegetables and science projects are just a few of the many enriching advantages of our outdoor space.
With years of experience, our staff is dedicated to providing an authentic Montessori environment with a student-teacher ratio unmatched in the area. Our small classroom size guarantees individual attention and results. Each child will have the opportunity to gather the skills and emotional development to master high academic levels.
The Montessori’s years of establishment has proven the power of early childhood care. This cultivation is supported by the fact that many of its alumni have attended some of the best high schools and universities in United States.
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.
