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.

An amazing place! The Village School is exceptional, not just with its curriculum and academics,…read morebut truly educating the whole child. 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. It has structure, a robust and rigorous academic curriculum, and their enrichment programs harken back to what we used to have as children (woodworking, maker space, sewing, engineering, robotics, chess). 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.

My daughters (currently ages 3 and just-turned 5) have been attending MMO since July, 2013. They…read moreattended summer camp (full-time) first, and have been enrolled in the full time/pre-k program since September of last year. First, my review of pre-k: I am impressed with many things at this preschool. Most of all, the staff. Everyone, from the secretary to the director, is wonderful, warm, friendly, and nurturing. Just the kind of people you want your children to be around all day - if you can't be! All the teachers have college degrees and are certified teachers. The classroom aides are also wonderful. They are mostly mature women and college students who are studying education. They have real professional development which the teachers and staff have to take part in and are encouraged to pursue additional training on their own. The curriculum they use is really fantastic - it's all hands-on. My girls are learning geography, foreign language, science, basic math, and reading/letters. At her recent evaluation for kindergarten, the teacher said my daughter was "advanced" for her age. It must be from MMO, because it certainly isn't from me! The school's hours are flexible and the director has been accommodating in every way possible when we had some crazy stuff going on with our work schedules. They're a non-profit (and non-sectarian) and you can tell by the way they put children first. The facilities are OK. They are located in an old, beautiful, church. There are stairs, but the high teacher-child ratio (I think it's like 1:2) make up for the multiple staircases and windy hallways. The space is bright and modern and the toys are new and clean, and the tables and chairs are new-ish looking. There is a big gym for playtime on bad-weather days and a nice big playground outside that is getting updated. The kids go out just about every day. They are adding additional security features to the main lobby area. Now, camp: The girls really enjoyed the summer camp program. They were outside a lot of the time, getting fresh air and playing on the playground in the water (there is no pool but they have sprinklers) and taking part in science experiments. The staff was good about making sure my Irish-skinned girls didn't get burned. We would go again in a heartbeat but my husband wants the girls to take swimming lessons so they are going to a different program this year that offers swimming lessons during camp. One thing I really like about MMO, and think is worth mentioning is the diversity: of the staff (male and female) and students. Children speak other languages in this school and that really reflects the city of Montclair, unlike some of other places I visited. My only complaint is that there isn't a kindergarten. My town doesn't offer full time K, so I don't know what I'm going to do next year!

It is so comforting to know he's not only well cared for but is having such a fun time. The teachers and staff are so nurturing and are always available if we have any questions.
