Fostering a Love of Learning in our children is the central theme that guides all our thoughts and actions here at Hudson Montessori, Jersey City. Our small class sizes, supervised by certified staff experienced in the Montessori Method of teaching, allow us to focus on the individual interests and needs of each child entrusted to our care. The Montessori Method focuses on allowing a child to learn in a hands-on setting, which is designed to cater to each child's individual needs and unique personality. Children are introduced to many new themes and concepts in the prepared environments of our classrooms. These themes spur their curiosity and excitement, and motivate them to work with materials independently. They develop scientific and critical thinking skills working with the Montessori materials. They discover learning through interaction with each other and develop character, good manners and courteous behavior. In our school's safe environment, with a high teacher to student ratio, our children are nurtured to grow socially, emotionally and intellectually.
