I…read morewent into it just looking for a fun activity for me and my 5 month year old daughter, and it certainly was that. It was a great way for me to step back and spend quality time with my baby for an hour a week with no distractions. She liked the song time and playing with all the beautiful toys. I liked getting to know other new parents. But I didn't realize I would learn so much too! I learned how to set up my playroom with toys that would encourage her optimal development. I learned about her different "sensitive periods for development" where she would be especially sensitive to learning different things. As she got older, I learned about how to practice positive discipline. It was all so fascinating and made me feel that whenever I had questions about parenting, I had a place to turn to for answers! Now she's in the toddler classes, and I've never seen a space full of 10 toddlers that is so calm and peaceful, yet so fun! I highly highly recommend these classes for all parents!

Lefferts Gardens Montessori (aka LGM) is a neighborhood gem. It's run by some of the most dedicated…read moreand passionate individuals and the teachers are phenomenal. I've had the pleasure of sending multiple children to LGM over the last 7 years from their 2 year old "Discoverer's" program through their 3-5 year old Pre-K program -- and have never thought twice about sending our kids elsewhere. If you are interested in Montessori, it's true Montessori. (Note: being a Montessori school/kid doesn't mean stale/sterile learning environments!! It's engaging, fun, and has all the normal aspects of a pre-school but within a beautiful structure). If you are interested in academics, my kids all went to Kindergarten at public schools after LGM and were reading and had math skills ahead of the curve. Can't recommend LGM enough to any family with young children!

What we didn't fully appreciate until moving on to our next school, was the incredibly high calibre of instruction at LGM. Each morning, the amazing teachers warmly greet students with handshakes and smiles, organized and well prepared for the day's lessons. Through out the day, kids enjoy the perfect blend of structure and individual choice and all activities are thoughtful and instructive. Don't be fooled by all the fun they're having, this school is teaching kids to love learning. The supportive administration and well-rounded parent body added to our great experience. A true gem - can't recommend it highly enough.

Additionally, there is sensitivity to allergies and many classes are allergen free. The parent network is good and many have made good efforts to reach out and build relationships.

The owner has put an immense amount of her time (I'm sure along with her experience in the field) making this school incredible exceeding every expectation i had personally. Every aspect of your child's day has been taken into consideration to make sure that your child will be learning and not being just babysat while you're at work like some other day care centers. My daughter is excited for the first time ever to go to school. She sees the owner and runs up to her and hugs her and loves all the staff. This truly is more than just a day care this really is a school environment and has structure and an amazing curriculum not that has been set by a corporate office to be followed but by an owner who wants to set your child up to love learning and be excited to to go to school! It's amazing how noticeable it is all the hard work and time and thought that has been put into creating a successful school for both the child and the parent. I cant day enough good things about this facility. What a wonderful journey we have begun sailing thanks to the amazing staff and owner!!!! If you want more than a babysitter and want to set your child up to start his or her education on a high note so your child will be excited to go to school and learn this is the place to go!!!!! Plus they have an amazing food program and even an app where you get updates everyday of what your children are doing. (I'm telling you the owner has really put her time into finding the best resources and utilizing them) best child care I've experienced thus far in eleven years!!!

We are always discussing what types of experiences will support him and allow him to grow into who he is and what he is here to be. We believed that choosing a school was one of those decisions that would have a tremendous impact on his growth and development. We concluded that Maria Montessori's method of learning would support our child in reaching his full potential...in a naturally occuring process....and most importantly a process he would LOVE. From the moment you pull up to the school it is evident something wonderful is happening here. A beloved community of children and families who radiate kindness, joy and a love of learning! Exactly what we had hoped for. The bonus is a 4 year old who has surpassed any academic expectation we could have even thought to place on him who looks forward to going to school everyday!

He had never stayed with anyone but family before this, so I was pretty anxious about leaving him. When I found Matawan Montessori through an internet search for local Montessori preschools, I was excited because it was so close to our home. I immediately made an appointment to meet the director and bring my son in for a visit. Mr. Chris, the director, was delightful. He showed a true interest in my son and encouraged me to bring him in for a half-day session to see how he liked it. We did and the rest is history! He LOVED IT! I immediately felt very comfortable with the staff and environment there. Montessori was the perfect place for my little guy, who was just two and a half at the time, but started in the 3-6 year group because they saw that his interest and attention span were a bit above his age. He will be going into his sixth month at the school and I can't say enough about the staff. His head teacher, Mrs. Marina is fabulous and brings with her a lot of Montessori experience. Her assistants, Kelly and Sheeta show so much caring and compassion, and my son just loves them. He hugs them goodbye each day. Staff meets you at your car and escorts your child into the school. When you pick up, it's the same. They have a day each week where they spend some time focusing on music and one day for gym where the kids learn about fitness and eating well. They also teach Chinese and Spanish in the classroom one day a week. My son has really blossomed in this school. The Montessori method is a fabulous way to allow a child to develop their independence along with a sense of discipline and purpose. It allows them to learn at their own pace, regardless of age, and having the older children in the classroom with the younger gives the little ones role models. This lets the older children feel a sense of pride in helping their younger coeds. Matawan Montessori comes through with flying colors. I would recommend this school to anyone!
