Early childhood education based on the Montessori method had gained recognition as a very efficient method to provide a firm base for the development of young children. As a result, the cost of early childhood education based on the Montessori method has always been very high. This Montessori schools are almost beyond reach of families with medium or lesser levels of income. Meadows Montessori was formed to make the door of Montessori open to almost every child. We strive to provide same high quality Montessori education for a lesser price.

I have taught in NJ schools K-2 because I love children. After raising my own 2 sons, this became my career. I prefer to care for kids inter own home. My last long-term job involved 3 children: 12/ 11 and 4. Providing meals, I drove them to school, picked them up, cared for 4 year-old 12 hours/day. I was also able to do family laundry and occasional late-night babysitting. With my background in school systems, I consider myself a thorough professional, aware of the key child development strategies.
