Children’s Harbor Montessori School

We absolutely love this school. My daughter has spent 2 years at school (between ages 3.5 and 5.5).The Director and teachers are warm and devoted to the well-​being of the children. My daughter adores her teacher Donna and art teacher Pauline. Her academic development has been strong. By middle of pre-​K she began to read, mastered numbers 1 – 30 and simple addition. She creates a lot of art projects each week. Each Friday, children bring home their work from that week (tracing, math and writing exercises; drawings) so you always see what they did that week. Children are being taught good manners and respect for each other. They are being taught to speak and present in front of others (e.g., every month a child has to present to the class 6 words that start with an assigned letter). Children learn to wash their hands when they sneeze, after bathroom and before meals. They go regularly to the bathroom. There is free play time: legos, dress up, toy dishes, puzzles, art, and if the weather is good, an outdoor play at a big playground. There are fun events organized by the school and the PA throughout the year. Our favorites are the Art Show and the Halloween event. The school is safe, super clean, bright and never too cold or hot. The Snug Harbor grounds are gorgeous.

We love this school! My child has been attending since 2. This is the best school choice we have made. The teachers and staff are warm and caring. My child comes home with wonderful art projects all the time. The kids also have Spanish and yoga lessons. The school really focuses on the children’s development and my child comes home talking about different planets! The school is located in the picturesque Snug Harbor Cultural Center, with a big playground under mature trees. We are very happy here and highly recommend it!
