I'm writing in response to that bad review about no creativity. On the contrary, I think that…read moreschool is all about creativity and creative thinking and being unique!! The owner knows every kid's name and addresses them each in a way that makes them feel special and important. When I visited the school, the owner took a lot of time showing me all the different types of activities and what skill each exercise is trying to achieve. And they rotate all the activities and stations very periodically so it is always fresh and new and the kids don't memorize the answers or get bored. I was also impressed with how the school will help with suggesting other places in the area for other interests, and even other preschools, if this is not the one for you! I was very impressed when I visited the school. I think it is an amazingly nurturing, fun, educational environment.

This was a horrible environment- montessori learning tools but in a rigid, stifling program. My son was punished for creativity.

I met with the director and she went off on an irrelevant rant about her own child- who was already an adult at the time, with no real grasp of what was happening in the classroom or playground. There are real montessori schools in the area which are much healthier environments. Run.

During his time there, he grew tremendously--socially, emotionally, and academically. We found The Little School after making the difficult decision to withdraw him from another local preschool that wasn't providing the extra TLC he needed. From our very first meeting with the owner, Maria, we knew this was something special. It wasn't just a daycare--it was a true home away from home. The love, patience, and individualized care our son received allowed him to thrive in ways we had hoped for. The nurturing environment and genuine dedication of the staff gave him the confidence to grow, learn, and develop a true love of school. If you're looking for a place where your child will not only be safe and receive an excellent early education, but also be loved and cared for like family, look no further than The Little School of Waldwick. We wholeheartedly recommend it to any family seeking a warm, supportive, and enriching environment for their child.

Maria (who runs the center) just flat out cares. She is incredibly thorough in how she and her team look over the kids. She doesn't look at this as "babysitting", she looks at this as a proper school. She highly emphasizes education and constant broadening of the childrens' horizons, and she knows all of the kids in the school very well. Even more, as our son was starting their program she actively encouraged us to stop by with him after hours multiple times, to acclimate him to the environment before starting up. She did everything she could to make sure our child had the smoothest startup possible, and as a result he adjusted really quickly all things considered. I cannot recommend this school enough, it has been an entirely positive experience and I feel my child is being cared for so much more than at some of the local franchised daycares we visited. (Also regarding cost, interestingly they're on the better value side of tuition rates for the area)

The staff at WRCNS not only went out of their way to make sure the day-care-to-nursery-school transition was a smooth one for my daughter, but also made sure that she got exactly what she needed to continue to grow and flourish. She looks forward to school every day and has said that her school is the best part about moving to Wyckoff. Every teacher at WRCNS knows every child. They all truly care for each and every kid. The curriculum is age appropriate and allows for learning differences. The small class sizes ensure that each child gets the loving care and attention they need. My daughter has grown socially and intellectually at WRCNS, and I feel she'll be very well prepared for kindergarten in 2018. I enjoy the events the school holds for families, and volunteer my time to help WRCNS be a phenomenal experience for everyone. We love it!

We were very impressed with the staff and the encouraging and positive environment for our child. The staff is very dedicated and, since it's a co-op, there's also a very involved community of families which give the co-op a supportive community feel. You also get the opportunity to be involved in your child's education and the teacher's do a great job updating you and sharing pictures so you never feel like you're missing important developmental milestones. I'll also say, although I might be generalizing, that the parents really care about the overall wellbeing of the school and the children; in other preschools that we've viewed we got the impression that the parents were competitive with each other instead of collaborative which was a differentiator for the co-op. We've had our son in the school for two years and the school has helped him to develop socially and academically. The teachers pay special attention to our child and have helped him to build his confidence and independence. I highly recommend this school.

The music teacher, Mrs. Pillow, is also a talented and dedicated artist who has well prepared and interesting classes. The concerts are great! Everyone has demonstrated so much positivity. I would highly recommend for anyone seeking an educational, learning environmental based on play and friendship for their young child.

We have two children attending the Village School ("School"), and have been there for over 5 years…read more When our first son started there at the Primary level (at 3.5 years old), it was not our intention to stay at a private Montessori school. However, each year, we saw our boys thriving at the School; not just academically but in their overall development as a person. This is a result of the experienced and dedicated teachers, principal, and staff. The Village School is one of very few Montessori schools in Bergen County that goes to 8th grade. We chose the School initially for this reason, in the event our children stayed on beyond Kindergarten. The School fosters a caring community environment within the school and beyond. It is an ethnically-diverse population of students, with many mix marriage households. The School was (and has been) proactive since Spring of 2020 in complying with COVID requirements to re-open school; so the students were able to start school in September in-person (for those who chose to do so). One week after the March, 2020 lockdown, the School was up and running for virtual learning; keeping a full day school schedule. The teachers worked tirelessly from June to September to get their classrooms re-oriented and ready for in-person learning; which is from 8:30 to 2:30 Monday to Thursday, with Friday being a 100% virtual school day. Despite the challenges this year, our family feels that our children are still being nourished socially and academically because of the support from the Village School.

It teaches not for the child to memorize, but to master and understand fully the concepts. They also hold executive functioning as a corner stone in its approach to education, something many children are loosing these days.

They also teach Spanish beginning at the toddler level all the way through to eighth grade. We couldn't be happier that our children have thrived there and call it home.
