Waterfront Montessori

150 Warren Street, Suite 108, Jersey City, NJ, 07302 -

Waterfront Montessori was founded in 2003 when a group of Jersey City mothers who were frustrated by both the limited educational options and the lack of enrichment activities for their children close to home decided to take matters into their own hands. Our mission is to offer a quality Montessori curriculum in a caring, enriched, and professional environment. We will make your child’s time outside the home stimulating, supportive, safe and special. Our primary goal is to foster a love of learning that a child will carry throughout his or her life. By creating our vision of the best possible school for our own children, we believe that we can provide an extraordinary learning environment for yours. In the Montessori tradition, we feature spacious, open rooms designed with Montessori materials situated around the perimeter within easy reach of the children.
