These days Kindergarten demands a lot from children. When a child leaves our program, they will be more than academically ready especially if they complete Kindergarten with us. The Peace Rose Montessori School is a non-traditional pre-school to Kindergarten program that provides a nurturing and respectful academic environment. Our classroom features mixed ages from 3-6. Leadership skills are fostered in our older friends, while the younger ones look up to and learn from them. Eventually those younger children become the classroom leaders and the effect on their confidence is a beautiful experience for the child, the parents and his/her teachers. The children learn math and language while also acquiring life skills such as: grace and courtesy, socializing with older and/or younger peers, and caring for their environment. They also learn about other academic subjects like geography, biology, and zoology to name a few. Being a part of the Peace Rose Family means you are working with a team whose goal is to bring out the best in your child. This is certainly not a daycare. We have a very detailed curriculum. Each child learns at his or her own pace and lessons are based on ability not age. Serving Sayreville, Parlin, Old Bridge, Fords, Matawan, Manalapan, Marlboro, East Brunswick, South River...We are well worth the commute!

Building core concepts skills at a young age is essential. With studies showing that about one third of children's intellectual skills will be developed by age six, it is important to increase your young child's exposure to a variety of experiences. Our preschool classes do just that. We also employ gradual separation techniques to prepare children for school.

Balanced learning for well-rounded children. With a combination of child-initiated activities and teacher-directed learning, our preschool program is a structured learning environment where kids become students who are really excited about learning and ready to grow. With newsletters and constant communication, you can rest easy knowing that you are always informed. Preschool children love to be kept busy with learning activities, even when they don't know they are learning through them. We use intentional teaching in that all our activities are focused on learning one of the basic lessons in our High Reach Curriculum. They also love to stay physically busy so we provide many opportunities through the day for your child to move their body, gain coordination and have carefree fun. Because we meet every child where they are, we work to keep every day interesting, engaging, and different while providing a routine that kids can count on. This daily routine compliments the use of High Reach Curriculum in order to develop fine motor skills, math, science and social skills along with a positive thought process that emphasizes confidence and kindness. We know that a child's social and emotional development is as important as learning to count so have incorporate positive socialization into our activities as well. Our carefully designed lesson plans develop self-reliance, self-esteem and self-confidence in preparation for kindergarten and beyond, forming your children into the little people they are fast becoming.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Keyport, NJ

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Keyport, NJ. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Keyport, NJ for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Keyport, NJ, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Keyport, NJ.

When looking for a preschool near you in Keyport, NJ on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code.
