Life at The Promissory Montessori
What Our New Jersey Families Are Saying
"Wonderful Place!"
"This daycare has been a wonderful place for both of my kids. The teachers are incredibly caring and supportive, and the curriculum is excellent. A constructive suggestion for the outdoor play area would be to use colorless sand instead of the current colored one, as the color often transfers onto the children's clothes and belongings. Otherwise, we are very happy with the center."
- Chakravarthay S.
"Enjoyed!"
"My sons had a wonderful summer at The Promissory Montessori! The program was fun, engaging, and full of special activities. The teachers were caring and supportive, and we could see real growth in confidence and curiosity. We’re so grateful for the amazing memories created! I would recommend everyone to choose The Promissory Montessori!."
- Dilnoza Matyakuboza
"Amazing Director"
"The director here is amazing, she really cares about the children and takes the time to listen to feedback from parents. I really felt like this school was serving as a village for my son. I'm very appreciative of their services."
- Sajida Khalfan-Bandali.
"Great Experience!"
"My experience with this establishment has been beyond words. This is my daughter’s first school. The staff, the curriculum and the heart they operate with is unmatched. I really love how personalized the environment is. This place has felt like home outside of home for my child. I encourage all parents in neighboring communities to give this place a chance and you too will attest to their work."
