Alpine Montessori of Millburn was established in 1978. The school's unique Montessori program has been serving the Millburn-Short Hills area for 35 years. The school is licensed for 89 children and is comprised of 6-7 smaller classrooms with a low teacher-student ratio.
The school's strong academic program is delivered in a warm and nurturing environment by a faculty who an average have been with the school for over ten years.
There is a large community classroom where children get
together for circle time, arts and crafts and additional
activities. We also have a separate reading/library where
children can select books and spend time with the reading
materials. There is also a playground/outdoor area for the
children to play during outdoor time. The progressive Montessori
program at our school is designed as an excellent foundation for
the continued education of children 2-1/2 to 6 years old (full day
kindergarten). The academic year runs from early September to mid
June and the school day is from 9:00am to 3:00pm with half day
(AM/PM) options available. Before and after care are also available
for an incremental fee. The school also offers a Summer Camp from
the middle of June through early/mid August. The camp blends fun
summertime activities/crafts with weekly theme-based learning
objectives.

Alpine Montessori of Millburn was the best! This school became our daughters second home, each attended three years of school their (including Kindergarten). Our older daughter received the one-on-one attention needed to develop her fine mother skills and our younger the encouragement to take risks which helped her come out of her shell. The self confidence boost and practical skill development they received at Alpine made the transition to public schools so much easier (our youngest was accepted to three of the three private schools we interviewed at but as a family we decided public education was for us). Alpine teachers were continuously engaged with each students success. We were frequently informed of dynamics developing amongst children or any challenges our daughters might be facing. We discussed collaboratively interventions with our teachers and the overall experience within the school was a partnership geared towards our child's development. After our youngest graduated from kindergarten we moved out of New Jersey. When we return for a visit Alpine is always top of the list!We highly recommend Alpine Montessori of Millburn to any parent who is looking for a nurturing, dynamic and engaging atmosphere for their child`s early learning and development.
