Hoboken Montessori School is a nonsectarian private school serving preschool and kindergarten children. Children will develop their talents and skills in a stimulating, secure, and beautiful child-centered classroom. The aim of the Montessori approach is to cultivate the child's natural curiosity, while enabling the child to take joy in learning. Our certified Montessori teachers are educated and trained in the Montessori teaching philosophy, in the Montessori curriculum, and in the use of Montessori material. They dedicate themselves to the preparation of a warm, inclusive classroom environment that fosters creativity, cooperation, independent thinking, self-discipline, and respect for one self and for others. Research in child education demonstrates that children who are self-motivators tend to grow into life-long learners who have broad aspirations, interests, and passions.
