This event is a benefit for Don Bosco Fathers Club and features 17 gourmet food trucks, music from DJ Louis, beer and pony rides, a petting zoo, and a bounce house for children. We managed to grab a culinary taste of mac and cheese, eggplant parmesan garlic knot slider, skirt steak sandwich and coleslaw (Argentina), ground beef lomo style empanada (Peru), and peanut butter cup cupcake. To walk off our meal, we managed to tour around the campus, which comprises three academic buildings and two athletic complexes. It was a nice day spent outdoors.

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.

We joined at the…read morebeginning of the school year, and we are so happy to see how our child is learning and developing at school. I can see how much the teachers care for our child - they provide me with daily updates via the portal, take time to speak with me at pickup and dropoff, address my questions and requests, and call me if they have any concerns. I see how much the teachers genuinely care for my child and the other children in the class. It is great to see my child also enjoy and connect with the teachers. I love the crafts and development activities the teachers do throughout the week - and appreciate the pictures we receive of our child participating in class activities. The parent portal and video cameras (extra cost) in the class are great because we get to check in on a regular basis to see how our child and class is going. Also, the infant head teachers are well qualified with degrees in early childhood education which is good to see at the infant age. The school offers great hours, a coverage calendar for daycare kids that is very friendly for working parents, and reasonable tuition costs. I do think there are administration opportunities of improvement for parents and teachers to connect - mixers, parent days with the kids, etc. Sometimes school emails and notifications are delayed. I also notice the grounds can be better kept. For example, the pumpkin decor from the fall is still up in January. Nevertheless, I have a sense of peace and calm when I drop off my child at AMS - Warren because I am happy with the staff, wonderful class teachers and know my child is happy, loved and safe.

The influence of Judaism is warm, inviting and easily integrated into their school day and into their home life. The caring and talented staff has made the transition into the educational system flawless from day 1. I just love how they photograph the kids during their day and share the joy of watching them learn and grow through innovative activities. My daughter and son-in-law are invited to be an integral part of the kids experience as am I as the grandparent. I attend the Friday morning kids Shabbat services often. I love how the kid- friendly service inspires their participation as well as mine. We sing the songs we have learned in services together and it fills my heart with joy. My grandkids are getting the opportunity of a lifetime to carry on the tradition of Judaism and I am thrilled to be a part of it! Dara Perlmutter

They individualize support based on each child's needs and communication is excellent! I get weekly newsletters from the teachers keeping me in the know with what is happening at school. Brightwheel and seesaw are two apps used by the ECC- both apps share videos, pictures, and notes to parents all day long. There's an option to add aftercare which is a necessity for working parents like me. The administration is excellent and very responsive, especially Dr. Cheryl Bahar! Every interaction with her has helped put me at ease and fall more in love with the school and how it functions. We love all the teachers, staff, and other families- it's really a special place. So special that my brother decided to send his four children to Gottesman as well. Now our children are getting this incredible experience of growing up going to the same amazing school with their cousins!

The teachers are not only highly qualified but also very caring, thus creating a homely atmosphere that makes children both safe and eager to learn. The curriculum is very well planned to encourage creativity and curiosity by including arts, music, and outdoor play. I loved how my child was encouraged to explore their interests and develop all the essential social skills through engaging activities and playdates. The small class sizes truly made the difference in allowing personalized attention to help my child thrive. What impresses me most is the very strong sense of community among parents and staff. We celebrated milestones together, supported one another, and made the experience so much more special. If you are looking for a place where your child will blossom and develop a love for learning, this is the perfect place. I couldn't be happier with our experience!
