Schools in Stirling, NJ

“My 3 y/o walks in and out of his classroom each day with the confidence of a child who loves his teachers and really enjoys being at school. He is always learning new skills and staying engaged with new stations/activities/lessons (which is a challenge for 3 year olds). I have another child who was at Goddard for 5 years and his experience set him up for a seamless transition into kindergarten.”

“We could not be happier with our experience at Long Hill Montessori. From the moment Luke started, the teachers and staff have made him feel welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for every single day. It is clear that they take the time to get to know each child as an individual and create an environment where children can thrive both academically and socially.

One of the things we appreciate most is how much Luke has grown since attending. His confidence, independence, curiosity, and love of learning have all flourished. The Montessori approach has encouraged him to take ownership of his learning, and it has been amazing to watch him develop new skills and interests. He regularly comes home excited to share what he has learned, and we are continually impressed by the progress he has made.

The teachers are patient, attentive, and incredibly dedicated. They do a wonderful job of balancing academic development with social and emotional growth. We always feel that Luke is treated with kindness, respect, and genuine encouragement. The communication from the school has also been excellent, giving us confidence that he is in great hands.

The classroom environment is warm, engaging, and thoughtfully organized. It’s obvious that a great deal of care goes into creating meaningful learning experiences for the children. Luke has benefited tremendously from the hands-on learning opportunities and the emphasis on independence, responsibility, and respect for others.

We are grateful for the positive impact Long Hill Montessori has had on Luke’s development. Watching him grow into a confident, enthusiastic learner has been one of the greatest rewards of our experience there. We wholeheartedly recommend Long Hill Montessori to any family looking for a nurturing, supportive, and high-quality educational environment for their child.”

“Our daughter started attending Small Society when she was a little over a year. The owner and staff are phenomenal. We can feel the love and wonderful care they give her and she couldn't be happier!”
