Schools in Closter, NJ

“I had the opportunity to visit the facilities and was attended by the manager, Liza Glore. Her professionalism and kindness made the experience exceptional. The environment is very pleasant and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it. 👍👍”

“This Montessori-based academy is truly one of a kind. My son attended from age two through the June before kindergarten. We tried two other daycares/schools in the area prior to Evergreen and struggled to find the right fit in both structure and environment. Evergreen stood out as top-tier from the moment we walked in.

The teachers are incredibly welcoming and clearly understand the responsibility that comes with caring for our little ones. Their consistent communication and photo updates made me feel like my son was still a part of my day, even when we were apart. They foster a family-friendly environment while also teaching strong foundational skills.

My son left Evergreen extremely well-prepared for kindergarten. I would recommend Evergreen 1,000%.”

“There is just no place quite like Lindgren, (look and you won’t find) It carries a unique spirit of childhood and wonder that only 82 years of growth and understanding passed down from generation to generation can accumulate. My son (and I) were blessed to have 3 wonderful years there, and now a 1st grader, he continues to go to their summer camp, a perfect way to balance a year of public school :) , now a tradition he looks forward to. He thrived in this outdoor woodland wonderland, made strong friendships, developed an avid imagination, is unconventionally creative, unafraid, never “bored”, has low interest in devices, and I really believe it’s thanks in big part to the foundation built at Lindgren.
His skilled and nurturing warm teachers walked with him from year to year, and being a single mom, they sometimes walked with me too. The school continues to grow and develop with lovely additions like the pottery studio in the barn, a beautiful greenhouse and gardening area, and let’s not forget the always adorable collection of farm animals to love…and so much more.
If you’re looking for a place that’s nature based, literally down to earth, will support you in growing a loving, kind and confident human with a foundation that will last a lifetime, then count your lucky stars you found Lindgren.
Knowing that I could go to work everyday and had full confidence my child was in fantastic hands, was priceless.”

“I needed a place that is small, fun and educational for my now 4 year old son, and this place was IT! All the teachers are very loving and patient with the kids. My son (as well as the other kids) come out of school SO happy, it makes my mama heart explode with joy! I would 100% recommend this childcare!”

“My daughter attended this academy for seven months starting at 18 months old. She is our third child, so we have experience with several other daycares from our two older kids, and this has been the best one by far.
We never have to worry about snacks or lunch, and they even provide diapers and baby wipes. These are huge benefits for working parents. Their hours (6:30 AM to 6:00 PM) are very flexible and incredibly helpful for managing work and caring for our other children. They also provide breakfast for children who arrive before 8:30 AM.
Most importantly, the teachers are amazing. Every single teacher is caring and genuinely loving toward the children. I was truly impressed that all the teachers know every child’s name, even if they are not in their class. Everyone is so warm and friendly.
Ms. Jovenisse, the Principal, and my daughter’s teachers, Ms. Jenny, Ms. Emily, and Ms. Izzy, along with the entire teaching staff, have been wonderful. They clearly care about the children, listen to parents, and are always very responsive.
Another great feature is the camera access, which allows us to check in throughout the day for peace of mind.
Best of all, our daughter loves going there and truly enjoys her daycare life. She has had so many positive learning experiences and participates in a wide variety of activities.
We highly recommend this academy!”
