Montessori School of East Rutherford

I can’t say enough good things about the Montessori school of East Rutherford. They maintain a high standard of education and have a great curriculum. The reading and math levels of students before they even enter kindergarten is outstanding. The progress these children make, not just the ones I know, is really something to be proud of. If you are looking for a great school for your child, I can wholeheartedly recommend this school. The staff are wonderful and give excellent individual care in a very well-​rounded atmosphere.

I don’t usually write many reviews; however I wanted to make an exception for this great school. They have great teachers and they actually care!!!
My four children have all attended this school and I am thankful that this school has been here for a long time. My kids learned more than they would have if they went anywhere else, I love the teachers here; they pay attention to the kids and really want the kids to succeed. They go out of their way to make sure the kids learn the Montessori method. There is a waiting list (that’s because its a great school).

First of all let me say that I don’t like leaving a negative review of a business however in this particular area I think it’s important to help other parents and families when they need a reference on something so important as our children.
I don’t know what these people at this Montessori school think but they are certainly not the last preschool on Earth. I called three times to gather information about this school and hopefully make an appointment with the director and take a tour. First phone call I was stonewalled with «There’s a waiting list» by one of the staff. So I said ok put me on it and in the meantime I would like to see the place and meet with your staff first before making a commitment. At that time I was told the wait was until December. The director never called me back. I called again and I had to re-​brief the person who picked up the phone. After she finally admitted to being the director she said «yes I saw you called but I am just not sure how I can help you». So again I explained that I simply want to come do an in person visit with my child to see how we like it otherwise my name on your list might be for naught. I don’t want to take up room on their waiting list if the school does not suit us right? By the way the Director’s name that I spoke with is Ms. Pria at least it’s pronounced that way. So I ask what is their protocol and she tells me that it doesn’t matter because their wait list goes until July perhaps September 2013. Something is not right with the inner workings of that school. It just doesn’t seem like they have their story straight and thats no place for me to leave my most precious person in the world with… period!
