Our location has been renovated into a child safe, hazard free zone with 24-hour surveillance, where I follow all of NYS Child day care provisions. A schedule of balanced playtime, indoor/outdoor learning activities (weather permitting) and mealtimes. We have a history of Volunteering on weekends with Autistic children, where we would do Art and Music Therapy with them while their parents had a Saturday morning and afternoon off. We are open Monday thru Friday and from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with flexible early drop off and late pick ups when necessary. The rate-list is broken down by the amount of days a week and amount of daily hours needed by the parent.

Child care
At World of Children, each child receives an education that is individually created specifically for him/her. Our programs are constantly reflected on and updated by our Directors and Teachers to offer maximum support and care for each child. Our schools use specially developed Montessori Resources which are easy to use and are suited specifically for your child's age. Our materials actually encourage self-control while inviting children to reflect on how to improve. Your child's teachers are guides and facilitators who do not need to play the traditional teacher-role of judge, jury, and dispenser of all information, instead, children identify their skills and where and how they can grow. This strategy helps to preserve their sense of self-esteem and belief in the fact that learning is sometimes messy ...and that is a good thing. We offer many different flexible options in terms of our hours of availability. Generally, we are open from 8:30-6:00 Monday through Friday. We have activated a host of safety precautions and protocols to ensure that your child's tie with us will be one where health and safety are paramount!

FAQs for finding Montessori schools near you in East Rutherford, NJ

The way that Montessori schools differ from other educational approaches near you in East Rutherford, NJ is by their philosophy. Montessori schools are unique because they emphasize a student-centered learning experience that differs drastically from traditional educational approaches. Montessori education focuses on allowing students to learn in their own way, promoting self-directed learning and exploration. Montessori emphasizes the development of the individual as well as academics, focusing on building independent critical thinking skills and cultivating independence.

Choosing a Montessori school near you in East Rutherford, NJ for your child can be an important decision, as you want to be sure that the school environment is conducive to their needs. To ensure safety when selecting a Montessori school, research the accredited Montessori training that staff must have completed and look for reviews from other families. Learning about Montessori-specific philosophies such as respecting the needs of the whole child and individualized learning can also help you make an informed decision. Another way to determine if a Montessori school is right for you is by observing activities in the classroom, such as children working independently on tasks while maintaining order and cooperation with others.

Montessori schools provide tremendous benefits to children's development! Montessori education focuses on fostering independence, self-direction and problem-solving skills among students. Montessori classrooms are designed with developmentally appropriate activities that allow children to take ownership of their learning and investigate topics that interest them while also developing their physical and motor skill sets.
