While all the other students are 6 years old, Nico is the youngest in his class and will turn 6 in the first grade. We are told that not only is he the ONLY one who could read "EVERYTHING" in his class, but that he might even get bored on the 1st grade! He has such a will to learn and we know that your teachers at Montessori, especially Mrs. Prahba played a big role. We knew that Montessori was the school for Nico, when he immediately took Mrs. Prahba's hand and took off for her classroom, but we didn't know how much of an impact it would make later on. Now we know! Just wanted to congratulate you and your teachers on a job well done. You all get an A+.

Joshua has been attending the Montessori Academy since December of 2005. During that period of time, the words that came to mind most, were caring, concern, patience and understanding.

At times, Joshua could be less than cooperative while going through some childhood phases, such as, mastering potty training, dealing with alphabet learning curves and navigating social situations. All of the staff at the school were by his side; as an extension of Craig and myself, to support and to help him successfully through these times.

As these first precious, formative years are so instrumental in helping to build a well-rounded adult, we are grateful to all at the Montessori Academy for providing our son, Joshua, with the best possible start in life.

I can not say enough about the Academy! My daughter, Mia, has truly thrived under the direction of your amazing teachers. I have watched as she developed not only a love for school, but a true desire to learn and grow. She has become inquisitive, independent and self assured. We could not be prouder of her or her accomplishments this year.

Thank you for always being there to comfort and guide these children, and may you continue at it for another 37 years! Thanks to all of you!

The Montessori Academy of New Jersey provides a safe, comfortable and clean environment for their students. The teachers and staff are warm, caring and nurturing environment for all the children.

My daughter is 4 and in her second year at Montessori Academy. My child's success and happiness at school is the result of this awesome environment.

My older daughter was a Montessori Academy graduate. What she learned has paved the way for continued academic success.

It saddens me to think I have only one year left there.

There are so many areas of concern when it comes to entrusting your child to other adults for a pre-school experience (his/her education, safety, hygiene, discipline, individual attention) and it is not easy to find people who embody values that you practice at home with your own family.

I have always appreciated the family values that Mrs. Torello has shown and passed down to her family and staff at Montessori. I have always felt that the staff has been thoroughly committed to the happiness and age-appropriate development of my children, and my concerns have always been met with serious consideration and a spirit of cooperation.

In the 8 years that my family has been dropping off and picking up little boys from Montessori I have never doubted our decision to make the slightly longer trip past other pre-schools.

The Riordan family is proud to say that our 3 boys got their start at Montessori Academy of NJ in Neptune, NJ. We'd recommend it highly to you!

Doug & Dana Rossback
My son Sean is in his second year at Montessori Academy and my husband and I can not say enough about the program offered here. What goes on in the classroom from the teachers and staff, to the special programs that are brought in, this school has gone above and beyond our expectations to bring on first hand experiences to the children that attend the Montessori Academy.

He has learned so much both academically and socially that we know he is prepared to enter Kindergarten with a smooth transition. we would like to thank everyone who has touched Sean's life in such a positive way!

The Ricciardi Family
We would like to recommend Montessori Academy of New Jersey in Neptune for your pre-school children. Our two daughters were students in both classroom environments, traditional and Montessori.

Danielle now 12 is an excellent student. She enjoys being in school, likes reading books on her own, and is completely organized. I truly feel it was her pre-school education that paved the way for this to occur.

Gianna is 5 and has attended Montessori Academy since she was 2 1/2 years of age. Her academic and social skills have made her a great student.

Your children will be treated by the teaching staff with respect and care. And you will be impressed to know these teachers have been at Montessori for many years.

Montessori Academy has been like a home for us for 13 years. All three of our children attended Montessori throughout their pre-school years an loved it. At 2 1/2 years old our oldest child, Kayla, was diagnosed with a rare medical condition which required chemotherapy and extra care. During those years, Montessori was supportive, understanding, and very generous. They were like an extended family to us, and we will never forget it. Much of the staff at Montessori has been around for a long time, and they are all wonderful. Everyone is always friendly and very caring. It's like a home away from home!
