Child care
Preschool
Circle Academy began in 1982 when two women had a vision for an alternative to public school education. After in-depth research and investigation into alternative methods of educating children, their ultimate goal was to provide children with smaller class sizes and the respect of acknowledging that every child learns at their own pace and in their own way. The cornerstone of the Montessori philosophy was built on this vision to respect each child's individuality. It is the Montessori belief to educate the whole child as well as making parents a prominent part of their child's education.. With this vision in mind, they presented their ideas to the Board of Regents and were granted an Absolute Charter which enabled them to begin Circle Academy and educate children from Nursery through grade 6. Circle Academy became an institution in which parents saw the success of this philosophy within their children as the population of Circle Academy grew more diversified. We presently are licensed by the New York City Department of Health to accommodate children ages 2-5 years. In order to ensure a safe and healthy environment, all of our staff members must attend special trainings and receive certifications approved by the Department of Health. All members of our staff must be fingerprinted, state-cleared and have a yearly medical prior to becoming a member of our staff. In addition, all of our teachers are state-certified, licensed in Early-Childhood education. We also hold an Absolute Charter from the New York State Department of Education. Circle Academy's success is anchored on the belief that &quot;every child's individuality must be respected and nourished. It is therefore our mission to provide a safe, nurturing and engaging environment to young children in our community so that they can become active members of society. Circle Academy is an independent, not-for-profit charter school specializing in early childhood development. Our success is built on respecting every child's individuality. Circle Academy believes that early childhood education is a time of fun, warmth, security, exploration, discovery and most importantly building self-esteem. We view parents as partners in the education of their children and we work collaboratively with our staff, parents and the entire community to guide our students in their learning process. Our ultimate goal is to build the most beneficial foundation for a child's future educational experience.

Countryside Montessori School was founded in 1998 with the aim of providing a high-quality early childhood education based upon the philosophy, methods and techniques developed over 100 years ago by educational pioneer and Nobel prize nominee Dr. Maria Montessori. At the core of the Montessori philosophy is the fundamental belief that each child is a unique and special individual, whose intellectual, social, moral and physical potential are best developed in a structured, supportive and self-paced environment. We are certain that you will be thoroughly satisfied with our school environment and staff, and all that it has to offer to the person most precious to you: your child. This becomes a matter of what you value most. To give your child the finest possible educational experience during their most sensitive years is to give them a strong foundation that will benefit them throughout their entire life. Today, the school is run by Mother- Daughter duo Mary Ann Pastorelli and Dana Albin. Mary Ann has been with the school for over 20 years with Dana following in her footsteps.
