The PARKSIDE MONTESSORI SCHOOL
Is a pre-school for children ages two and a half to five serving the families of Montclair, Glen Ridge and surrounding communities. Its directors have been operating the program for over 30 years. It is non-denominational and non-discriminatory.
The mission of The Parkside Montessori School is to cultivate curiosity, independence, social responsibility, and a lifelong love of learning.

Montessori philosophy emphasizes child-led learning within a thoughtfully prepared environment. It focuses on fostering independence, intrinsic motivation, and a love of learning by allowing children to explore their interests at their own pace. The philosophy views children as naturally curious and capable of self-directed learning when provided with the right tools and guidance.
