Schools in Tenafly, NJ

“Thurnauer is an excellent school for studying music. They offer courses in many different instruments to all levels. The school is located within the JCC, and everyone is welcome regardless of faith. I love the community of students, their families, faculty, and staff. I also love that students have many opportunities to perform. This is a great school for beginners, especially if you are considering a career in music. Thurnauer is also a great school for advanced musicians who want to take their technique to the next level. 5 stars!”

“We have been meaning to write a positive review for some time, but the Covid pandemic has truly highlighted how incredible The Montessori House is. At the start of the pandemic when schools closed, everything was unknown. The way the Montessori House handled things could not have been better. From announcing they would be giving a tuition refund for each week the school was closed, to hosting Zoom classes 3x/week and holding a summer session to make up for lost time, we have truly appreciated their quick and appropriate actions.Ms. Maria's Zoom classes have been the highlight of our daughter's week over the past couple of months. During the school closure, Montessori House offered 9 classes a week (3 classes per day, 3x per week for about 45 minutes) in various areas including story-time, movement, science, art and cooking. These Zoom classes were both educational and fun. It is amazing how well Ms. Maria is able to keep the attention of a virtual class full of 3-5 year-olds. The enthusiasm and energy she shows when leading the kids through their "movement" class (dancing to kids songs) is incredible (especially considering she does the same song 2x per class, several times per week). These classes have given me a glimpse into my daughter's day, which has further cemented that we made the right decision in sending her to Montessori House. She normally doesn't tell us much about her day - we only hear what was for snack and which games she played on the playground, but It is evident that she is learning a tremendous amount and having a ton of fun doing it.My daughter is beyond excited to go back to school next week (with very strict safety precautions) and she is as excited to see her teachers as she is her friends. I have spoken with many people who's kids are in similar situations, and this seems FAR from normal.This morning, as card came in the mail from one of her teachers which was sent just to say hi to my daughter and tell her that she was missed.Montessori is not inexpensive, but we love it and it is worth every penny.”

“The Learning Experience at Tenafly has been great for my daughter, who has truly grew and evolved while attending their preschool program. When we first started she was 3-years old! Now she is four and will be starting Kindergarten in September. I believe that she is well prepared for kindergarten! She is reading, writing, and our conversations reveal just how much she has learned at TLE. I am so happy with the foundational skills she has gained here. TLE at Tenafly has set a foundational basis for what I expect from my child's schooling experience. I will forever appreciate what Jill, Gabby, and the staff have done during our time. I also want to thank her preschool teachers! I would like to especially thank Ms. Pam, who taught her how to write. I believe anyone who attends will be very happy with the care they receive for their child, from infants all the way to Pre-k! A very special place!”

“Our family's journey at Children's Corner Preschool has spanned three plus wonderful years, beginning in the summer of 2020 with our daughter and now continuing for another three years with our son. The dedicated staff, who are not only educators but nurturing caretakers, have made an indelible impact on us. The small class sizes provide a personalized learning experience that we value.Cleanliness and safety are top priorities, and the preschool consistently maintains clean and secure classrooms. The expansive outdoor play area has been a valuable space for our children's growth and imaginative play. Effective communication with the staff, facilitated by their open-door policy, has always made us feel at ease and well-informed.We've cherished the heartwarming photos of our children enjoying their time with friends, a testament to the memorable experiences they've had at the preschool. Our son's consistent cleanliness and the weekly folders with his classwork demonstrate the staff's commitment to hygiene and education. Our daughter's confident transition to kindergarten, thanks to her preparation at Children's Corner, speaks volumes about the quality of teaching.The ability for parents to visit the school and classrooms whenever we choose is a standout feature, providing transparency and a firsthand look at the magical learning environment. Even with new management and staff, our son is thriving, reaffirming that Children's Corner Preschool is truly a delightful experience when managed properly.”

“It is a nice place , you find a lot of things to do if you become a member , after school classes are complementary and you have to pay for them . Really great service and high security . It’s got outdoor pools and indoor as well . Basketball court , tennis court , and gym . Just to name some amenities. Parking is big but in rush hours is sometimes is hard to find an spot or way far from the entrance . Overall really nice place”

“My daughter has attended three different schools due to our moves in town. She highly recommends this school, and I believe that should speak for itself. Kids know who the good teachers are and who genuinely care for them.”
