Ridgewood Montessori School Testimonials

The teachers at Ridgewood Montessori are SO wonderful and our two toddlers have had such a warm, safe, and fun experience there! The curriculum and activities are so impressive. We searched far and wide, looking at many schools, and Ridgewood has exceeded every expectation!

Ridgewood Montessori treats us truly like family. The entire staff is warm, helpful, and truly understands the needs of each family and child. They go above and beyond to put the children first, and are so accommodating. The teachers we have had experience with are fantastic. Our children have grown and developed leaps and bounds after just a few months. I highly recommend Ridgewood Montessori School to anyone who is interested in a traditional Montessori school for their kids/family!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The staff is the most caring, genuine, loving people that I have encountered outside of family. And here's the thing - you are family at Ridgewood Montessori. The entire staff (and it's not a small staff) get to know your child in some way. Your child's teachers develop a strong connection and bond with them. At any point that you go into the school, you can see children working on a skill set, or sitting in circle time, or reading. Even in the small children classroom (18 months), you will not find children running about and screaming and causing commotion. Such a well organized school, where the staff fosters development on an individualized basis. I now have 2 children in the school and have been a part of the family for 3 years. And I will tell you, every week I am impressed and stunned by what my child has learned. The love that they receive while at school is evidenced by the smiles and eagerness to tell us how their day was. The school was a blessing and the staff is truly God's gift to our children who cannot be at home with us. It's truly a perfect school. Mind you, I interviewed 9 schools in the surrounding area and without a question, this is THE best. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Our son started attending this when right around his 3rd birthday. I was nervous at first, not knowing what to expect. Little did I know that nearly 4 years later this school has become a family to us. The staff has been very loving and supportive. No matter what the situation... they worked with us and with our 2 kids that now attend the school. They offer kids club when we needed the extra care during school breaks. They were there to listen to our concerns about potty training. I could write on and on. In short, we love this school and our kids will always cherish their experience.

This school is wonderful. The administration really "gets it" and does everything in their power to provide a loving, nurturing, challenging environment for the students. They are constantly improving the school - both the physical space and the curriculum - bringing in the latest in educational advancements. They recently created a science lab, a makers/technology room and coursework, and brought an engineer in from the Tappan Zee Bridge project. The teachers are happy and dedicated to the success of each and every student. They focus on the the child's total development, giving them what they need to be successful each day. One day it might be a practical life lesson and another day it might mean giving them a hug. :)
