OPENINGS ONLY FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2023-24, STARTING SEPTEMBER 2023. ....... Our students love learning and go on to succeed in grade school, and in life, as independent, adaptive self-starters. The Montessori House School offers children a remarkable learning experience based on Maria Montessori’s insights and materials. As you learn more about our school, we're sure you'll come to appreciate the warm, caring and inviting atmosphere that Montessori House School children, their parents and their teachers enjoy so much. ....... For children age 30 months through 6 years. We offer full-day program (M-F, 8:30-3:00) and half-day program (M-F, 8:30-12:00), both on a typical school schedule from September to June. Our classes have a student:teacher ratio of 10 or less. The school provides morning and afternoon snack, parents pack lunch. After care is available to 6 p.m. on school days. ....... For the school year starting September 2023, full-day program tuition is $23,400 and half-day program tuition is $14,900. We offer a 10% sibling discount if you enroll more than one child for the entire school year. ....... The Montessori House School is a member school of the American Montessori Society. Why is that important? Well, any school can call itself Montessori (no one “owns the name). A school may say “Montessori” on the outside, but parents don't know what's on the inside. In fact, many so-called “Montessori” schools are anything but! Our AMS membership lets parents know that we offer an authentic Montessori education and experience. ....... While the Montessori Method defines the classroom experience at The Montessori House in so many ways, we care deeply about your child’s total experience at school, and about your experience as a parent. ....... 1) For children, we consider a warm, caring approach a top priority. With a low student:teacher ratio, our teachers can take the time needed to care for and guide each child -- without raised voices -- in class, at lunch, or on the playground. ....... 2) We provide a safe environment for children, where “safe” is defined broadly. First, to ensure physical security, classrooms can only be accessed through two sets of locked doors,, with video monitors at our entrance and in our classrooms, along with an office staff to monitor visitors. Second, classrooms, toilets, and public areas are cleaned daily without harsh, commercial chemical products ensures a healthy learning place. ....... 3) We offer children a rich set of experiences at school. We seek to expose children to real things – natural materials in the classroom; trees, flowers and wildlife in the playground; seasonal and exotic fresh fruits and vegetables for snack. The Montessori House is fortunate to welcome students from a wide variety of backgrounds. Beyond day-to-day peer interaction, children also participate in cultural activities led by parents in class or at one of our school festivals. ....... 4) For parents, we are open and available. Our office is always open and staffed school days, ready to respond promptly to your questions or concerns-- by text, by email, by phone, or in person. Parents are welcome in the school at all times, and can observe each of our classrooms via closed-circuit TV. We want parents involved at school in ways that involve their children; opportunities include parent-led class activities, field trips, and school festivals. As we do for children, we seek to give parents a warm, caring experience at The Montessori House. ....... See for yourself! Seeing our students and teachers in action is the best way to learn how The Montessori House applies the Montessori Method and provides a productive, nurturing, and enriching environment for your child. ....... We look forward to your visit!

We are licensed for infants to 13 years. We are very busy year-round offering: Preschool/childcare, school-aged before and after school care with homework help groups, social skills music, and art. Our children are advanced in their skills because of the individualized attention that we provide at our school. We like to think of our services as being provided in a family environment but yet providing the highest standards of education. Our 3-acre campus allows us the freedom to run, ride bikes, play games, and sports, and enjoy nature. Our year-round program is very academic but fun. Our summer program is structured in the sense that we have a morning age-appropriate small motor skill activity, in the early afternoon we will use the sprinkler, in the afternoon a large motor skill activity, and they are again in water play. Our program is unstructured in the sense that we are flexible enough to accommodate the various personalities of our children and able to accommodate their needs at any given moment. We work magic by incorporating educational aspects into all activities so the kids just think they are having fun. Beware that the children who visit and enroll never want to go home. If you are looking for an exceptional summer program, school, daycare, academy than look no further because the Orchard School is the best school around. At the Orchard School the word daycare means that parents are able to utilize our services to meet children's and their needs at any time. Meals are provided at an additional charge for those parents who are interested. We are able to meet family needs full time, part time, and drop in. Our experience is that every moment at the Orchard School has educational value whether it is in math, sciences, arts, basic skills, reading, writing, cognitive development, small and large motor skills, emotional health, physical health, problem-solving, and social skills since our teachers are motivated, educated, and experienced in the art of LIFE, learning, and self-actualization. Parents have our schedule and therefore know what we do all day long. Our open door policy allows parents the freedom to observe and participate as well. The only problem we have is that there is not enough time in the day.

New Milford Early Leaning Center and Daycare is small and family oriented center. After much research, ELC has used Learning Without Tears and Handwriting Without Tears curriculum, a holistic, child-centered program that offers age-appropriate, hands-on learning experiences for our students. Our goal is to guide children through play and experiences. Learning Without Tears and Handwriting Without Tears was designed with children in mind, The multi-sensory and developmental instruction is simple and highly effective for all children and teachers. The Pre-K program, Get Set for School, allows numbers and letter sounds to dance across our classroom. This curriculum makes sure all children have all the tools they need to express their thoughts, step by step, letter by letter. It helps our students find the heart of every letter and inspire a love of learning. We will observe our students to adapt our lesson plans to their needs and interests. Art, Science and STEM activities are included in our daily activities. We want all parents to be informed and aware of the activities within the classroom as well as how parents can reinforce these goals and objectives at home. All parents have the director cell number for questions, concerns, input, or just to check to how their child is doing. Our curriculum is aligned with the New Jersey Department of Education Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards. A unique humane education program is also built into our curriculum. The love, care and respect for all lives is taught on a daily basis. Our students are able to interact with pet therapy animals. Our furry and feathered friends include, Edna ( our diapered, imprinted, tame, loving duck), Mae (our giant, docile, tame, loving rabbit), Leo and Lily (our very friendly and attention seeking white doves) and others along the way. All our animals are fully vetted on a regular basis. The students and director started a non profit animal rescue, Fred and Friends, inc in 2011. Some of our ELC families have even helped with rescue! Fred and Friends had a unique rescued duck years ago that was friendly, loving and special needs. Beakers was hatched with a birth defect and was unable to walk. This did not stop his excitement to live Under Miss Christine’s supervision, and with the direction of a rescuer from the UK to guide us via FaceTime, the students built beakers a “duck wheel chair” so he was able to move around on his own. We all learned many important lessons from our feathered friend, Beakers. Miss Christine, grew up along the Mississippi River in Illinois. She brings country family traditions to the ELC like gardening and cooking. Going along with our humane education we have also collected for a local food pantry, started a have a heart program collecting supplies/food needed for local animal shelters, and adopted soldiers deployed sending art work, stamps, stationary, treats and other supplies. Early Learning Center is not the normal “cookie cutter center.” We learn real life skills that will stay with our students forever. We are a true family. Our loving infant/toddler head teacher has been with us since 2006. Early Learning Center is not the fanciest daycare/preschool you will find, but we challenge you to find a more loving, nurturing learning environment.

Bambini After School is customized by Kids-Crew software. Kids-Crew is self-developed software made by a dad with 3 little girls. The Kids Crew System evaluates student achievements and provides mathematics at the appropriate level. Students watch a video of a teacher's lecture and read along with a recommended book too. Then, they solve math problems, and are provided with a one-to-one tutoring method. The teacher can concentrate on teaching what the student does not understand well. We use the Montessori educational method. Montessori education is focused on working with physical materials to understand abstract concepts of math. It was created by Dr. Maria Montessori 100 years ago and now it is one of the most well-known global educational methods. Kids can balance time studying and doing activities. Outdoor playground allows the class to explore nature and joyfully experience seasonal changes. In summer, we play with water in the playground. Kids visit the city library every Friday. They participate in its program, do group reading, and interact with its caring librarians. Throughout the whole year, we can enjoy being in the library. In summer camp, we register kids in Summer Reading Program provided by Ridgefield Park Library, encouraging them to read every day by being rewarded with prizes Arts &amp; Crafts, once every week, kids can learn artistic expression during arts &amp; crafts time. Cooking Time, kids safely cut fruit and make &amp; decorate their after-school snacks.
