Mindful Montessori

My daughter has been going to Mindful Montessori since she was 2.5 yrs old. It is a true Montessori school with qualified teachers, we love their nurturing care for the children and dedication. My daughter learned to read at 3.5 and do small addition due to their Montessori approach. The children are exposed to math, languages, geography, biology etc. Every spring, they get to see the life cycle of ducks or chicks. From the egg in the incubator, to the chick coming out of the egg and then caring for the chick. Same for the life cycle of the butterfly, so its not only in books and toys/material, but real life. This is the way you get young minds to learn and be engaged. Every time I go inside the school to read or volunteer for an event, I am in awe of how calm, clean and happy the classroom is. My daughter loves going to school and told me that she loves Mindful Montessori because the teachers hug them and tell them they love them, to me this is the best review any school can get. We love the school and are looking forward to our daughter's 3rd year there.

I toured this school and was so impressed with how professional the director was and how calm and soothing the environment was. The director is very experienced and knowledgeable about Montessori and passionate about the school.

I work during the summer camp, and it is the best environment I could be in! The teachers truly care, and it shows through how much fun the campers have. Mindful Montessori is truly a special place where there is an immense amount of respect and love to the kids. It is a very warm and positive school, and I am very lucky to work there.

Mindful Montessori of Old Tappan has been a great choice for our child’s growth and development, and a much better alternative to traditional day care centers. From as early as 3 years old, our child was immersed into an engaging, individually crafted curriculum. Extremely well trained and experienced teaching staff are helping children learn and develop at a much higher level and faster pace than any of their non Montessori friends and peers. Before the age of four, the children are trying and succeeding in reading and writing, exposed to different languages and rudimentary math exhibiting measurable results that both motivate and drive them though an individualized teaching approach that fosters the love of learning. Mindful Montessori is doing an amazing job in preparing our child for the next chapter of his educational journey along with developing and growing his life skills with their practical life curriculum options. We highly recommend Mindful Montessori for so many reasons including wonderful educational benefits, love of learning and growing together and also what we hope are also forming of life long friendships!
