School Notes
Using traditional Montessori methods, The Montessori Children`s
Academy (MCA) provides a developmentally challenging, yet
appropriate, learning environment that engages children`s natural
curiosity and helps them to develop a lifelong love of
learning.
Our programs are enhanced by exposure to foreign language, health,
the arts, and environmental education.
Our Kindergarten and Elementary students also enjoy technology and
physical education classes, as well as a variety of enrichment
experiences both in and out of the classroom.
Opportunities to plan and participate in community outreach and
service projects align all of our students with the skills they
will need to position themselves as future leaders in our global
community.
With campuses in Morristown, Chatham, and Short Hills, MCA offers:
Full- & Half-Day Preschool Programs,
Full-Day Kindergarten,
Before & After School Extended Hours,
Montessori, My Child, & Me for children 18-30 months with their
caregivers,
MCA Summer Camp, and
LEAF Approach to Enrichments.
Our Short Hills campus also is home to our Elementary
Program.
