Sent my child starting at 18 months to the toddler program. He started off average and at times behind on some developmental milestones in gross, fine motor skills, problem solving, speech, and socialization. By the end of the year he really excelled in all these aspects. His speech is starting to take off. He also improved in concentration, patience, understanding the world, concepts of order, placement, categories. He cleans up after himself, very adorable. The teachers and administrators are amazing. They know toddlers. They also seem to really really care. I felt comfortable that my child was in the care of such warm compassionate teachers. That said, he did get sick very often. I think last winter was especially bad for all day cares and schools across the nation. They do take measures but given the population I guess it was inevitable.

Last day of camp for the students today and I have to say that everyone has been wonderful! My daughter has been having nothing but great experiences at this school and with the teachers. Ms. A and Ms, Suarez are the best, and we will miss Ms. Melo now that summer camp is over!

My son and we love this school. The program is very thorough and educational, yet so fun for my son. I’ve been sending my son to this school since he turned 1.5 years old, and we’ve been loving it since then. Ms. Alcantara and Ms. Suarez are among the best and most caring teachers ever, and my son always call out the teachers’ name as well as every single classmates. Other teachers and really nice and kind. Every time I drop off and pick up my son, I can feel the love and warm caring for every single one of the kids in this school from the teachers. Love it.

We truly love Apple Montessori Cliffside Park! Both of our children have been going to Apple Montessori for the last 4 years and we simply love the care, attention, compassion and investment that everybody provides. The director, Ms Rogers is an outstanding, organized and involved leader that sets a great example/culture. Both Ms Alacantra, who is the head teacher to our older child and Ms. Rodriguez, who is the head teacher to our younger one have so much passion and care to guide our children to bring their best. The teachers and the whole staff not only invest in our children to excel academically (and our children often surprise us with their progress) but most importantly they instill confidence and love. We wholeheartedly recommend Apple Montessori Cliffside Park to any family.

My son was enrolled in the summer camp program. He had a wonderful experience and enjoyed learning amongst his peers. The curriculum is robust and he enjoyed the field trips and water play. His teachers Ms. A and Ms. Suarez we’re kind, patient and caring. Shoutout to Ms. Melo as well for always being a welcoming and friendly face especially during early morning drop offs. He learned so much and we are so grateful! Highly recommend!!

My child joined Apple Montessori School – Cliffside Park at age 2 and is leaving just shy of age 6. The changes, I have seen especially from a character development, increased confidence and learning perspective are massive. This is in no doubt due to the nurturing environment provided by teachers, administrators, and team at Cliffside Park. My child is now an avid reader, more articulate, is great at writing and arithmetic and knows how to comprehend concepts of the wider world. I would especially like to pay tribute to the school personnel who have made significant contribution to my child’s development: Ms Alcantara (Ms. A): Stretches and challenges her class, provides great structure to learning, truly cares for the children and exposes them to diverse thought and cultures. She is a dynamic and purposeful teacher who has control of her classroom. She is the gamechanger in my child's educational and social-emotional growth. Ms Rogers: Is a consistent leader and guided my child through the school for the past 4 years. She has ardently supported my child’s growth and development. She is truly a leader and accepts input from parents and is happy to resolve any issue which arises. Ms Suarez: Watched and help soothe my child for the past few years and ensured my child felt loved. She is the creative teacher behind FastTracks. Also, the Preschool Assistants – Ms Amaya/Ms Hanan who have been rockstars during evening day care/pickup. Ms Melo for her great passion and all the other teachers and Preschool Assistants who have played some part in our child’s unforgettable experience at Cliffside Park Thank you, Apple Montessori School – Cliffside Park. It has been a wonderful journey of discovery!

Apple Montessori has been amazing to our daughter and family. My daughter started when she was 18 months and now at 5 years old, it is truly wonderful to see her blossoming. The implementation and execution of their educational program is truly one of the best. Her teacher Ms. Alcantara is an amazing teacher and truly gives her all to her students and the program. You can see and feel that she cares for each of her students and is a master at helping to unlock their potential. Ms. Suarez, her assistant, is an asset to the class. It’s clear that she will also become an amazing teacher, and my daughter and her friends adore her. The reading and math teacher Ms. Rodriguez, has gone above and beyond in teaching our daughter. The work that she’s done has instilled a strong confidence in my daughter and now at 5 she’s above her grade level in both reading and math. Ms. Amaya the after-school assistant has been great, and always leaves my daughter with a smile on her face at the end of the day. Lastly, the Director Ms. Rogers, has been there for our entire time and we couldn’t have had a better leader for this school. She runs a tight ship and it is apparent in how the school runs. Ms. Rogers has been open to and actively providing feedback which has led to great transparency and trust. They say it takes a village to raise a child. This sentiment totally applies to Apple Montessori. The entire staff has been like a family to us and we’ve treasured the time we’ve had with them for these pasts four years. We will be sad to go when our daughter starts her next chapter. Thank you, Apple, for all that you’ve done!

We are immensely grateful, and we take this opportunity to highlight the great work that Ms. Villegas, Ms. Alcantara and Miss. Suarez who together with all the team do it with so much love and dedication every day. Helping us to form and independent, organized and above all a happy child. We were satisfied with the decision we made for our son when he was 18 months old and now that he is almost 3 years old, we have seen his academic development and independency. He loves all the teachers and assistant since day one. Thank you, Apple Montessori Cliffside Park, for the great work. The Garcia Family
